Comments on: Norwegians fear carcass may explode http://www.theexplodingwhale.com/archives/2007/07/norwegians-fear-carcass-may-explode/ "The blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds." -- Paul Linnman, TV news reporter Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:26:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Bergen reader http://www.theexplodingwhale.com/archives/2007/07/norwegians-fear-carcass-may-explode/#comment-11899 Bergen reader Fri, 20 Jul 2007 02:28:09 +0000 http://www.theexplodingwhale.com/?p=119#comment-11899 FYI: The article from the Bergen Tidende (www.bt.no) basically reads as follows: The whale operation went according to plan last night. The carcass was taken out to sea and sunk in 600 meters deep water. Divers secured a heavy load of reinforcing iron ('rebar' as it's called in the U.S.) and stone to the carcass. It sank nice and orderly. Pieces broke off during the process, and were taken care of properly. The fire department's boat, which carried out the process, was back in port by 3am. The order to sink the cadaver came quickly after the carcass was found in waters outside Bergen. The article goes on to quote the represetative from the Bergen Kommune that they feel ready to handle any other problems in the future, due to the training they had from handling this cadaver. The article then reports of other countries having such problems, and gives the link to your website. Sorry, no dynamite :) <em>Editor's note</em>: Thank you for providing this translation for my readers!
