Mr. LBJ wrote a post about this a year or so ago, I saw the WaPo wrote a story on it. Hope this isn't behind a paywall.....

I remember this when it actually happened.

Darn lucky they didn't kill someone with that stunt.

Didn't a couple of cars get smashed?

Whoever thought that stunt up should have gotten a cetacean for public endangerment.

Nice play in words. I saw the video. Looked like a Monty Python skit or something from Home Improvement

People were blubbering about baleen whale guts from their cars, so I’m surprised they didn’t.

I wonder what happened to the people in charge.

I'm no expert in explosives but I can't believe they didn't pile and in a big been behind the whale to direct the force out to sea rather than up.

When that was posted a year ago I thought a member said the sedan belonged to his FIL and was only a few days old.

Insurance covered it without question, the replacement was identical, and the member got to drive it, IIRC.

A classic. I remember that was one of the first things I ever searched up on the internet, when a friend told me about it. The internet was new back then and I was astonished that I could find it.
