I’ve watched this a few dozen times and only now did I process the fact it was the Oregon State Highway Division that was tasked with dealing with the whale. I was too distracted by the “whale explosion” bit and the top-tier reporting to notice the detail about which government agency was responsible for the mess. But my word, it’s my favorite detail now. They didn’t call a government agency that worked with animals or on the coast / ocean. No, this matter clearly falls into the scope of highway division

@leechowning8728

In Oregon, in the early 1910s, they used the beaches as highways... so much so that the governor at the time declared the beaches were property of the state, to this day.

It was either this or they invent a large particle destroyer that vaporizes it on the spot. The city didn’t have the budget for this. They also considered the idea of making it mandatory for everyone in the town to gather together at the same time on the same day to charge at the whale and push it back into the sea. There were actually many other ideas they came up with, but this one ultimately seemed like the best option.

Man news reporting was so good back in the day

Most of the people here are just partially seeing the thing, and not using their brain. They are not thinking, that how can this much heavy weight Whale could be moved from that beach. The people in that time didn't had the machinery to do the work, so they had no other choice, but to explode that thing, and the leftovers could be thrown back into water. Just Think About It...

I still love how Paul Linnman pronounced Whale throughout this entire story, putting most of the emphasis on the H. For me at least, it just adds to the overall hilarity of the idea to “disintegrate” the wHale. A timeless classic that will be shared with generations to come.

Maybe the 70 tvs could made up something better unlike our hd definition with what they had. Or people simply were a used to it and had a trained view. What I want to say is that 70s people maybe were able to see the seagulls
