Wonder if it was from this....

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Isn’t there a video of the “meat and blubber rain” that resulted?
I think I saw one wunst.

[Fido969]

Police said if a beachgoer encounters such a device, do not handle or try to move it.

Like I'd be able to resist.

[EEGator]

Hold muh beer…

[Red Badger]

All I ever find at the beach is sand.....................

[Red Badger]

Gonna need a bigger shovel.........................

[Mr. K]

If I recall correctly one 200+ pound piece demolished a car

Way back in the mid 70s, a sheriff friend pulled over some drunk marines who were out having a good time. Searching the vehicle, he found a bag of simulators they had filched from their training supplies and they were planning to set them off and have fun, no ill-intent. But they being drunk, the officer took the simulators off them and they were in his trunk for a few weeks. He gave them to me, and my brother and I had a blast setting them off and watching them go boom. We were careful and no harm done.

So,they found 3 cigarettes lighters?

Asinine that the story fails to elaborate on “WHY?” they’re washing up in the first place.

Did they lose a few pallets of something more lethal, too?

[Reno89519]

Seriously, you expect something reporters are not taught to do any more. They are opinion writers, fear mongers.

[logi_cal869]

I didn’t e left anything.

I made a declaration.

[logi_cal869]

“Expect” anything

[EEGator]

Imagine that situation now. Dishonorable Discharge after serving time for domestic terrorism charges.
Current society sucks…

Ahhh! The infamous exploding whale!!!!

I love the original footage-when it explodes, intially you can people exclaiming “Ohh! Ahh! Cool!”

And then, the stinking, rotting, chunks of decayed blubber begin raining down on them (as well as the nasty, stinking vaporized blubber mist) and the exclamations (as people begin running pell mell to frantically escape the putrid rain) change from “Oh, Ahh, Cool!” to “AIEEEEEEE!”

I particularly enjoyed the car-sized chunk of rotting blubber that crushed a car in the parking lot.

I think it is hilarious. The best of government and the media at work.

One of those ‘tragic boating accidents’, no doubt...................😉

[Psalm 73]

"...the story fails to elaborate on “WHY?” "

I wondered about that, too. I assume they were part of cache that was "deep-sea disposed" but separated out, or never made it out to the correct disposal site, ("ah heck, this is probably far enough out...")

“This a blasting cap. Remember now, do not touch them.”

[Red Badger]

I remember those commercials from the 60’s when I was a kid.

I used to look for them, never found one!...................(I still do!)..................
