I wonder what the pressure was in there. This guy's belated escape run wouldn't have done him any good had he been standing in the wrong place.

I can remember another dead whale explosion some years ago.

The whale itself was even bigger and explodes just by inner pressures, happend in Taiwan 2004 in the middle of a busy city.

What a mess..  :D

When I first read your post I wondered how a whale got into the middle of a city. I see it was on the bed of a "tractor trailer" (AKA "truck" or "lorry", the latter, to me, sounds like it is a kind of nectar-feeding parrot from the Indo-Pacific region. Do the British call small trucks "lorrikeets"?).  ;)
