Sea World Incident
By: Randi Prock
As you may have heard on
local, and national news reports everywhere, there was a very
traumatic experience at Sea World in Orlando, Florida. One of their
best trainers was tragically killed by a killer whale. How she was
killed by the orca, or killer whale, is still to be investigated.
On Wednesday, February 24,
2010, Sea World trainer, Dawn Brancheau, was tragically killed by a
killer whale in Shamu Stadium. This sad incident happened at the
Orlando, Florida Sea World. Although we know she was killed by the
whale, we are unsure of exactly how it happened. This incident was
not recorded, so we don't have a way of knowing exactly. There were
viewers watching the show at Shamu Stadium that afternoon. The two
stories are; that Dawn accidentally slipped off
of her podium, fell in the water, and was then tortured by the whale. The second story is that the whale jumped up,
out of the water, grabbed Dawn, and shook her violently until she
died. Vice President of Sea World, Orlando, Dan Brown states, “One
of our most experienced animal trainers drowned.” He also said
that an investigation is to be carried out.
There are lots of work still
to be done on this investigation, and Sea World Orlando is definitely
devastated by the loss of such a great trainer. The whale involved
in this incident is named Tillikum. Also, Tillikum has been involved
in other previous deadly incidents at Sea World. What will happen to
him is also in question. Hopefully, before to long, Sea World
Orlando can get all of this figured out, and continue to preform
great shows and a great time for families everywhere.
