A marine biologist blamed the explosion on pressure from gases building up in the mammal as it began to decompose.

I'd bet you'd explode, too, if you had swallowed a motorbike . . .

Funny that it didnt explode until it hit a metropolitan area is my thought as well.

And I do beleive that no whale explosions should happen...it just sounds bad for everyone involved.

Wow! Last year a sperm whale beached himself on the beach just a few minute walk from my house and my son and I went down to see it. When the tide got low we walked right up to it. It had died the night before on the other side of the bay, but during the night high tide it floaded to our side. It was there for a few days before they figured out what to do with it and I'll never forget how bad the smell was. I can only imagine the stench after that whale exploded. Yuk!!!!
