Happy Exploding Whale Anniversary Day, Oregon. On Nov. 12, 1970 with bystanders lined up on the dunes to watch the spectacle, ODOT engineers packed 20 cases of dynamite under the dead whale and set a charge. Chunks as big as three feet square descended from the sky, forcing everyone to evacuate the area. One piece landed on a car, caving in its roof. | The Oregonian

Heroes Unite: Whale Rescue on the Shore A stranded whale was saved thanks to the courage and selflessness of a group of rescuers. Risking their own safety, they guided the giant back to the ocean, showing the power of compassion and humanity. 🌊🐋 #foryou #fyp #whalerescue #wildlifeheroes #oceanconservation | Featheredsoul
