A dead whale exploded in the city of Tainan, located in southern Taiwan. The photo shows how internal organs are splattered all over the street. The explosion was due to putrefying internal organs which created gases and the mounting pressure eventually burst the dead whale open. People living and working in the neighborhood had to wear masks to cope with the overwhelming stench.
I know that a whale is not a fish but it might still smell like one. And the smell of rotting fish in a warm climate is definitely not a pleasant thing.
I guess this shows that whales are meant to rot on the streets of a large city, it is not their real habitat. I am sure Taiwanese bypassers will not want to eat whale meat for a while (even though this particular whale was intended to be not eaten but researched).
Oh, and before you get all excited about current events, this happened four years ago, in January of 2004. I am only posting what happened here because I like whales.
