To be fair they also plan to dissect it, you know try and figure out why it did strand, put the skeleton in a museum and such but still: certified germany moment.

They couldn't get a helicopter out there? I'm not an expert on whale rescue but it seems like the EU should have been able to get something together.

That was a decision by the officials to leave the whale beached despite volunteers organizing a rescue effort.

Whether the whale would survive, who knows but it was decided that if the whale can't make it back to the sea by itself, it's not worth helping it back into the water.

They moved him off sandbanks several times, i think this is the 4th time he's been beached.
