Street Whale Explosion

[misssuperfrog10]

I remeber watching this a few years ago, me and my dad were bored so the title of the programe "The Whale That Exploded In The Street" intriguied us

0:35 look McDonalds, well i know where they where going to take that whale :P

[noonedude101]

Thats hot.

[megakamikaze69]

now i know what to do with 30 hand grenades =D

[flyingjerry1]

@megakamikaze69 lame

[MrImagayguy]

@megakamikaze69 not lame, awesome! Can I watch?

[GEOCACHINGGHP]

is there a video on youutbe of this happening i have seen it on tv but i whant to see it agin

[haltrman93]

In short, the decomposition of the whale's soft tissue created pockets of methane gas that caused the explosion.

[dcs002]

Nat Geo has shamed themselves again. They used to be a decent organization that promoted education and awareness. Now this. Is there anyone who really thinks this is what science looks like?

[pingushit]

& that my kids, is how you get rid of a whale!

[captainplanet93]

atleast it'll help the food problem.....

[Magoo1502]

[asmilesa]

f*cking street whale, serves him right for using our roads

[mrbooziebrews]

that's not the same,.... I wanna see them blow up a real whale, preferably a live one !!

[floryzzz]

thats a big fart

[iMackiiD]

skip to 1:34 for explosion.

[AgrivatedKillah]

@iMackiiD Thank you!

[Fastline07]

look mickey ds lol

[TombombSilver]

Oh no not the street whale that whale is a straight up fuckin G

[st1mp0]

suicide whale bomber!

[lukeshytalker02]

that guys a dumbass, the car is 30 metres away, but it wasnt cos the lorry was moving past the car obviously and by the time the lorry had stopped it was 30m away

[RetroGamer1990]

what the hell was the point in that experiment??

[Harpoon2theRescue]

It was those damn sea shitbird eco-terrorists from Whale Wars. Their environmentally friendly IED.

[shavis001]

The chicken mcnuggets ad before this video was fitting...

[azrial4421]

It was god punishing the gooks for killing whales

[dan892k7]

This comment is wrong on sooo many levels!

Firstly, 'Gooks' = Vietnamese, and they don't hunt whales. This happened in Taiwan and they don't hunt whales either! The Japanese hunt whales, and in my opinion that's fine! If you take 'Gooks' to mean Asians in general, then why aren't white people being punished for Norway and Denmark's whale-huntings?

[azrial4421]

Damn crackers killing whales

[Pentdad]

crackers, chinks, slanteyed, yellow skin fools killing whales.

[dan892k7]

Surely someone who listed "To kill a Mockingbird" as one of his favourite all time books on his profile should be more aware of being racist like that. You also seem to have an educated taste in music... disturbing to see someone's profile which to all intents and purposes could be a mirror of myself, and yet spewing mindless remarks like this!

You obviously posses a brain, please use it more in your moral identity.

Dan

[Pentdad]

But Brother, if somone does something bad then I feel very happy being racist towards them. Fact is most steriotypes have an element of truth to them. Negroids in the west comit a disproportionatly amount of violent crime, chinks, gooks, and japs seem oblivious to the destruction of the environment, the coverteous jew controls much world finance, etc etc.

What I am trying to say is if I met a Jap at work I would greet him as a friend. If I saw him wrecking marine life Id call him a slanty.

[dan892k7]

'wrecking marine life' as you put it is the only way the Japanese can actually live. Most of Japan is mountainous, and that land which isn't is all populated on. There is no room for cattle, and even fruit and veg, most farms are rice farms because a lot of it can be produced in a small space.

I never get involved in racism.

Dan

[Pentdad]

Japan is strange because it is a highly developed intelligent nation and yet it is hunting marine life to extinction. The culture seems to have no concept of this. All nations and races have their own bad points, I would say this is Japans bad point.

Where are you from and Ill give you some bad points about your country. I will even do my own- England- if you like.

You see Im not racist, Im just honest.

[MrOlz2]

wtf???

[NoCareChakara]

@Pentdad Not racist? Your "yellow skin fools" comment says otherwise. This whale was killed by being hit in the spine by a ship and beached itself (according to Predator CSI on Nat Geo Wild), and as they were towing away the carcass to a research facility the gases inside the whale caused it to explode.

Also, this was in Taiwan, not Japan.

[Pentdad]

@NoCareChakara Its the whole of the Eastern area who have no concept of conservation. Now with the Phillipines, Indonesia etc I can understand this because they are poor countries with no education. But the very intelligent country of Japan will gladly hunt marine life to extinction. So Brother what is more important, Japanese peoples customs or the environment? The reason why the whale died doesn't matter by the way, I just know the Japanese love eating fish.

[NoCareChakara]

@Pentdad As a matter of fact, Asians DO have a very developed concept of conservation. "I just know the Japanese love eating fish." Well apparently that is all you know about Eastern cultures. The sad part is you claim to be cultured yourself, but have clearly proven that bag of bull to be false with your racism and sheer ignorance.

[Pentdad]

@NoCareChakara How do they when they want to fish their seas into extinction? Sorry they appear to have zero concept of marine conservation just want to hunt whale and eat saki saki. Do you find anything wrong with any race in the world or is to point out problems with different races always racist? Do you admire Saudi's for choppin' off each others heads for example because its part of their custom?

[falconwesx]

thank u dan 20y

[heavydutydudes]

this could have been a inside job meaning that whale activist may have sabotaged the carcass ,and detonated the bomb right when they thought it was appropriate time ..........now i might not be right ...........

[fugetao]

What's the point in this ???

Stupid National Geographic, any stupid reason to make a program.

[JMRabil675]

whale 2 heavy 2 move

blow it up and clean up

[vinnie049049]

@JMRabil675

discusting

[89buffboiedward98]

imagine this in 3d

[iseaall1205]

what about the skeleton....chunks of those would be flying everywhere, obviously the natural gases built inside would explode along with the aided explosion

[lorddark18RS]

IT WAS PERIOD!

[ivoryline13]

Thanks.

I was on the right track though

[hessy11]

it didt go of like that and the guts probly just slid acroos the ground they must be quite slippry i dont think they went flying fru the air like the bags of peat

[WolfJuiceProductions]

No. They did. When the temperture of the gas inside the whale gets to high, it explodes and can go pretty far.

[ccaarraann]

have u not seen the vid where it shows u one?

[lorddark18RS]

the whale had its period.. but i couldnt go anywhere...

[HellVomit09]

lol

[jingyu123]

what!~? blowing up whales??

[ivoryline13]

Decomposition of the skin produces a gas inside of the whales, causing great amounts of force when released

[GerbilEssences]

"Thar she blows!"

[jameschappell]

they stuck a cork up his ass and he needed to fart lol

[freacls]

omg that is so funny lol what had that whale been eating [poor whale]

[haiimstrobez]

They didn't blow up the whale, it exploded due to gasses inside it. haha

[ProGamer175]

Ich bin ja selber schuld das ich mir den scheiß reinziehe

[Comment0r32]

Eigentlich schon.

[iluvtigers77]

What was the purpose of this??

[batvette]

PEOPLE: THE WHALE'S OWN ROTTING INNARDS EXPLODED WHILE IT WAS BEING TRANSPORTED.

and this experiment is wholly pointless and probably quite innacurate, as their is nothing to simulate the skin of the whale in cotaining the matter nor the fact that much of the expanding gas could have been partially released as the truck went over bumps- meaning it could have been worse.

And it must have smelled awful.

[LittleJawa]

I would have hated to be nearby when that happened. SO gross.

[t5e2]

is the point of the video telling us not to get too close to a dead whale that size?

[eagleclaw006]

That must have smelled horrible

[turdonmyface]

smells like a barbeque. GOOD EATIN

[sverma84]

that's why you shouldn't feed whales mexican food

[advnchrchik]

Gross. Why did they put the decomp in the whale before they reached the lab anyway?

[21cglock]

?????????????what????????????

[advnchrchik]

haha. I was just wondering why they put explosives in a whale in the first place.

[Blazhei]

Because exploding whales are hilarious.

[InmemoryofRomeo]

The whale was being moved to a research facility for study, lol guess they learned a valuable lesson, whales + decomposition = explosion!

[videologger123]

How did the whale get there in the first place?

[benny704]

IT WAS BEACHED IZ

[minderazor164]

natgeo's commercial on this just came up, made me youtube....

[themizaru]

what do you call a whale's penis?

a dork. no joke

[minderazor164]

lol fing lol

[doldei]

blowing wles in the midlle of the street ... that´s a new

[Tazmania1989]

so a whale blew up and is some of its body pieces landed in the nearby city??

[BeyondAllThings]

lol, lets blow some whales in new york. that would be fun.

[davedoug]

MMM...what have we learned here....?

[victorcelmare]

wtfis this shit

[intindse]

umm so what are they trying to prove here

[YouJussGotCurbed]

i like how he says sperm whale over and over when he can jus say whale

[DrakeNovum]

It's a sperm whale. Why call it just a whale? Dipshit.

[agrumpus]

Given that whales are mammals who have to make regular trips to the surface in order to breathe, you're the IDIOT.

QED

[iamtorcman]

Yeah this video needs some context. In a nutshell the whale beached itself and died on a beach in Taiwan. It was there long enough to start to decompose. Later it was loaded onto a truck for removal from the area. As they were transporting it through town the carcass blew up. Something to do with buildup of gases inside the carcass.

[kekekwon]

iamtorcman is 100% correct when a species is decomposing gas builds up over time till were it becomes bloated and theres a maximum point for everything just like a balloon

[conflict88]

Mammal Combustion? :S

[raulitech]

money and time was spent into simulating how an exploded whale was blown up? where do these idiots get the funding for this rubbish?

[squincegoddess]

What, why? Didn't even pay attention to what he was saying? I'm sure they could have thought of using something else, dead or alive still disturbing!

[5thDensity]

You got more than me. I don't even know what this video was all about... >:0\

[squincegoddess]

All it did for me, was leave a bad taste in my mouth, again disturbing!

[YouJussGotCurbed]

failure

[YouJussGotCurbed]

u fail at life
