Tonight the Eugene Emeralds appeared in the alternate personality as the Exploding Whales. As part of the fun, the Whales welcomed the original KATU TV reporter Paul Linnman, famous for the live report of the exploding whale debacle. #RootedHere #ExplodingWhale

We can't take the credit for 'blasting blubber beyond all believable bounds.' We'll leave the dynamite to the experts @OregonDOT. #ExplodingWhale

#WhaleAlert In Oregon when we hear officials are deliberating about what to do with a whale carcass ... we have flashbacks to the Great Exploding Whale Incident of 1970 😂 This is a GEM of a clip! #ExplodingWhale youtu.be/V6CLumsir34

"Our cameras stopped rolling immediately after the blast. The humor of the entire situation suddenly gave way to a run for survival, as huge chunks of whale blubber fell everywhere..." "However, everyone on the scene was covered with small particles of dead whale" #ExplodingWhale
