@cultculturee what

[ellerbemt]

Let that be a lesson to all whales who choose to die on our beaches

[mittti]

Is it too funny?Why did he laugh?

[techrepairTV]

"what should we do with this whale?"

"let's blow it up!"

[macvspc1020]

Yeah, best place on earth! Oregon!

[mrcheekycheeks]

not really something, I myself would laugh about while doing, but whatever....

[MalkavianMadness]

They really didnt think this trough did they.

[vanzgirl1]

lol

[bydlo57]

I have seen this old video many times and love it. It made the newscaster famous. Just wish they had kept the cameras rolling!

[Antimaden]

Dumb Ass Cowboys !!

[settlefornothink]

typical american soloution to a problem.

[Kosha2905]

Quite the whale of a problem... oh man the news reporter is so funny

[greencoupedeville]

Use enough dynamite there, Butch?

caisy33: People aren't laughing at a dead whale, they're lauhging because the workers blew the thing into sushi sized bits, which rained down everywhere.

I'm sad about the whale too, but he's in a better place now. Like maybe a tuna can.

As for "they could find at least some non-rotted parts of the body and go help other whales"': what would you suggest - organ transplants?

[kanady98]

@greencoupedeville lol hahhhahahahaha in a can of tuna

[john9ten]

GROSS!!!!

[caisy33]

that's just evil. they started laughing when the whale exploded. hate those people.

[caisy33]

that's really sad. you know, people can do many things with a whale. they can use its skin for something. they can eat it. the don't just need to explode it. its a waste because a whale is very useful

[bwh012]

lol....how many whale skin jackets do you have....

[caisy33]

oh my god dude. just cause i said it doesn't mean i have to have it. and you can eat whales too. and since i'm not well experienced at these dead animal body uses, i wouldn't know what else a whale is useful for. but i know useful for a lot of things.

[bwh012]

then its not that sad.

[sixstringfreak17]

It was rotting! Would you like to cut away at a rotting cow? Seriously...

[caisy33]

other things in the body is still useful. and i'm just telling people that they don't need to just explode animals so it'll look cool. they can do a bunch of stuff with their bodies.

[clochach]

you're an idiot it was dead and rotting they couldn't use it any more

[caisy33]

i said next time dumb ass. and who the hell was talking to you??? get out of this loser

[clochach]

you didn't say next time, and you said it on an open message board so you were talking to anyone who read it

[caisy33]

well that's how i think. i only wanted people who agreed with me to respond, because their comments are much much much nicer than mean,vicious people like you.

[clochach]

it doesn't matter who you wanted to answer you're not in charge of who does anyone who wants to answer can and you're calling me mean and vicious?.....i only told you that you were wrong you are the one that said " dumb ass", "who the hell was talking to you", and " get out of this loser" you ignorant fucktard

[caisy33]

whatever you say. you are mean and vicious. i just find it cruel how they would laugh at the whale. how is that funny? how would you like it if you died and someone blew you up and started laughing? they could find at least some non-rotted parts of the body and go help other whales. And I was just stating my opinion in the first place, why did you have to make it into a war? God.

[Dodomctoto]

we cant move this whale so what will we do.

BLOW IT UP?!

[KillemallyDamacy]

Wow. Good quality. Anything I've ever seen before on this is camera-phone quality.

[expwhale]

I agree, but unfortunately, the report is severely abridged. Much of the original story is lost.

[Gonzc900Productions]

KATU would be the only one to take their original report they have in their basement and turn it digital. Don't see why not. This is one of KATU few well known stories besides the 1980 MT ST Helens blast with that camera man lost in the woods...

[sethinator8]

@KillemallyDamacy this was from 1970
