Why do you need engineers to burry a body??
Better question, why are engineers using hillbilly logic to get rid of a body?! :disgust:

As stated in the video: to attract scavengers.
Another reason: it's probably easier to move a blown in half 8 ton carcass than a fully intact one.
I wonder if they guy in charge lost his job over this.
This is like an isis execution video for sea mammals.
"Yeah, I'll tell ya about the whale ;)"

Isn't that why we have heavy equipment like cranes?

This guy somehow managed to keep his job after endangering many people with this stunt. Sure no one
died in the end, but the car in the video shows what could've happened if someone did. Would he still had his job if someone did, who can tell?

Beaches don't make good road surfaces for cranes weighing tens of tonnes.

This may have something to do with it:

Yeah, dead whales are already naturally explosive because of the huge amount of gas that's built up in their bodies.
Now mix that with 20 cases of dynamite and well... you get what was seen previously in the video.

According to the wikipedia article
[quote]Thus, half a ton of dynamite was applied to the carcass. George Thornton, the engineer in charge of the operation, stated in an interview with Portland newsman Paul Linnman that he wasn't exactly sure how much dynamite would be needed. Thornton later explained that he was chosen to remove the whale because the district engineer, Dale Allen, had gone hunting.[6][7]
Coincidentally, a military veteran from Springfield with explosives training, Walter Umenhofer, was at the scene scoping a potential manufacturing site for his employer.[2] Umenhofer warned Thornton that the planned 20 cases of dynamite was far too much; 20 sticks of dynamite would have sufficed. Umenhofer said Thornton was not interested in the advice. In an odd coincidence, Umenhofer's brand-new Oldsmobile, purchased during a "Get a Whale of a Deal" promotion in Eugene, was flattened by a chunk of falling blubber after the blast.[/quote]
honestly great shit lmao
Wow they really did fuck up in every possible way.
[quote]Linnman also noted that scavenger birds, whom it had been hoped would eat the remains of the carcass after the explosion, did not appear as they were possibly scared away by the noise.[/quote]

For some reason that sounds like it came straight from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Fuck that. If I was president of that country I would use C-4 on that whale. Or even an air strike :terrists:
