News anchor Paul Linnman arrived in Florence, Oregon on November 12, 1970. Paul had no idea that the whale of a tale he was about to tell would forever define his career. This is a unique story of a small town, an exploding whale, and the man who made the story famous. It’s an incredible tale about how we don't get to choose our fate, only what we make of it.
