Also known as a frost crack. Be very careful with #ice It’s dangerou

Happy Exploding Whale Anniversary Day, Oregon. On Nov. 12, 1970 with bystanders lined up on the dunes to watch the spectacle, ODOT engineers packed 20 cases of dynamite under the dead whale and set a charge. Chunks as big as three feet square descended from the sky, forcing everyone to evacuate the area. One piece landed on a car, caving in its roof. | The Oregonian
