When a 50-tonne whale died off the coast of Taiwan, nobody could have predicted it would lead to a remarkable disaster on the streets of the city. But early one morning, local residents got a rude awakening as respected whale expert Professor Wang accompanied the animal's carcass through the area on a flatbed truck. Exploding with the force of a bomb, the decomposing creature splattered the surrounding area with intestines, blubber and blood. Four years later a team of specialists investigate the mystery of the exploding whale.
