The carcass of a giant whale in Nghe An was brought ashore, awaiting burial procedures.
(Baonghean.vn) - On the afternoon of May 27, thousands of people from the coastal area of Dien Chau gathered at the shore of Dien Thinh commune to pull the whale ashore to carry out burial procedures according to custom. By evening, the whale was brought up from the sea but because it was too heavy, it could not be lifted onto a car to be buried.
All morning, the authorities and people of Dien Thinh commune used boats to pull the fish to shore. Above, the crane system was ready and waiting.
Due to the heavy weight of the fish and the rising tide, it was difficult to bring the fish to shore. Thousands of people were eagerly waiting on shore. A raft carrying people to approach the whale even capsized, but no one was injured.
