TAIPEI (Reuters) - The decomposing remains of a
60-tonsperm whale exploded on a busy Taiwan street,
showering nearby cars and shops with blood and organs
and stopping traffic for hours, local newspapers said.

The 56-foot dead whale had been on a truck headed for
an autopsy at a university earlier this week, when
gases from internal decay caused its entrails to
explode in the southern city of Tainan. 


The whale had died after it was beached on the
southwestern coast of the island.
