You might want to wait until after you’ve eaten to watch the video above.The clip shows the horrifying moment a whale carcass exploded as a marine biologist tried to cut it open.The sperm whale was one of two that died after becoming trapped in a narrow channel in the Faroe Islands.The islands’ 50,000-strong Danish community wanted to use one of the whale’s skeletons in a museum, so Bjarni Mikkelse had the unenviable task of cutting open the corpse.As the whale had been dead for two days, a build-up of gas was expected. However, no one was prepared for an explosion of this size.Dressed from head to toe in protective clothing, the marine biologist is seen carefully prodding the carcass.With a loud bang, the gas trapped inside rips through the 45ft-whale’s corpse, spewing guts and internal organs into the air.Not one for the faint-hearted.(metro.co.uk)
