Equally malodorous but with a Pacific Northwest twist, some years ago a dead and decomposing humpback whale washed up on an Oregon beach. After much consultation the powers that be decided that the quickest way to dispose of the carcass was to blow it up. Which they did, with attendant huge chunks of blood, guts and effluvia sailing through the air for hundreds of feet. Took quite a long time to clean it up, it did.
