TAIPEI, Taiwan, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Fifty tons of sperm
whale exploded across a busy Taiwanese city street,
spewing blubber and blood over shoppers and shop
owners Taiwan News reported Wednesday. The dead
sperm whale was being transported through
Tainan City to a research
station when it suddenly exploded Tuesday, splattering
everything and everyone
anywhere nearby.
"What a stinking mess! This blood and other stuff that
blew out on the road
disgusting, and the smell is really awful," said one
resident.
Certified by authorities as the largest beached whale
on record in Taiwan, the
60-foot, 50-ton carcass was being driven by a flat-bed
trailer-truck to a
special research location after National Cheng Kung
University officials and
security guards refused to let the whale on campus.
The whale was to be preserved and an autopsy
performed at the "Shi-Tsao Natu
Preserve" in Tainan County by a team of marine
biologists and taxidermists.
A scientist said the explosion was not all that unusual.
"Because of the natural decomposing process, a lot of
gases accumulated, and
when the pressure buildup was too great, the whale's
belly just exploded and
spilled blood and the innards on the street," said
professor Wang Chien-ping
National Cheng Kung University marine biologist.
