there were whales chasing each other. and eventually the trainers decided that they had to stop the show because they couldn t get the whales under control. tilikum was in the back pool set up to do a dine with shamu performance with dawn. likely she saw what had gone on during the main show, and so she had probably felt more pressure to do a good show. when you watch the whole video, you can see that tilikum is actually really with dawn in the beginning of the video. there s a couple of behaviors she asked him to do where tilikum jumps right in and does exactly what she asks him to do. there seemed to be a point in the session where things went south, so to speak. and my humble opinion, it was at that missed bridge whistle
dawn brancheau, d.b., dream big. dawn was the most loving, giving person you ever met. her smile just radiated. she fulfilled her life. nd event. the model year end sales event. it s year end! it s the rear end event. year end, rear end, check it out. talk about turbocharging my engine. you re gorgeous. what kind of car do you like?
may have started as play or frustration and clearly escalated to be very violent behavior that i think was anything but play. in the end, you know, he basically just completely mutilated that poor girl. they were gathering all the trainers at the texas park. he said, there s been an accident at the florida park, and a trainer was killed. hearing that it was dawn, i couldn t believe it. i just remember saying to myself, not dawn. it can t be dawn. he said that and he still has her. and i just was so disturbed by that and the reality of how powerless we are. evulsion, laceration, abrasion, fractures. fractures and associated hemorrhages.
apparently what happened is we had a female trainer back in the whale holding area. she apparently slipped or fell into the tank and was fatally injured by one of the whales. at first seaworld reported a trainer slipped and fell in the water and was drowned. that was the first report. it wasn t until eyewitness accounts disputed that that they had to go back in their huddle and say, wait a minute, we ve got to come up with a new plan. new tonight seaworld has confirmed a killer whale pulled a woman into the water. she didn t fall into the tank as the sheriff s department initially reported. the new plan is that he grabbed her ponytail. this is a subtle way of placing the blame on dawn s shoulders. she shouldn t have had a long ponytail. or if she did have that ponytail, it should have been up in a bun. dawn, if she was standing here with me right now, would tell you that that was her mistake in allowing that to happen. they blamed her. how dare you? how disrespectful for yo
