Dead whale explodes after falling from crane - PHOTO+VIDEO

Dead whale explodes after falling from crane - PHOTO+VIDEO

Remember the horror of seeing that dead sperm whale explode after it washed ashore on the Faroe Islands last November?

Well, it’s happened again, only this time bystanders didn’t have a protective suit – or an inkling of what was to come.Video has emerged of a 25-tonne beast exploding after it fell from a crane as it was being transported during a clean-up operation in Montevideo, Uruguay.The dead whale had washed up on Carrasco beach and was just too heavy for the hoist as it was slowly lowered on to a truck.As the straps snapped, the creature crashed into the vehicle causing its bloated torso to explode on impact, spilling blood, innards and water on the ground.Sperm whales often experience a build-up of gas in their stomachs after they die, due to the decomposing process.(metro.co.uk)ANN.Az
