This is a little of subject, but thought that it was very interesting and something to share. While transporting a sperm whale to be examined for science, it exploded and made a mess of a downtown area. According to the story, this is not a rare occurrence and happens more then we are told. The reason for this phenomenon is that whales internals hold air to help them survive in the pressure of the deep water. Being out of the water, there is no water pressure and hence the skin simple can not handle the internal pressure.
Very interesting.
WARNING: the video is very graphic and should not be watched by everyone.
