as trainers, we never forget shamu s true potential. we see it each and every day. that s why all our interactions are very carefully thought out. especially our waterwork interaction. whoa! you big dork. especially our waterwork interactions because they re potentially the most dangerous. i ve been expecting it since the second person was killed. i ve been expecting somebody to be killed by tilikum. i m surprised it took as long as it did. first tonight, a six ton killer whale has lived up to his name killing an experienced trainer at seaworld orlando today. a tourist at an earlier show said the animal seemed agitated. trainers complained the whales weren t cooperating. the whole show, the main show was a disaster that day.
each other. and eventually the trainers thought they had to stop the show because they couldn t get the trainers under control. tilikum was in the back pool set up to do a dive 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 can him to do where tilikum jumps right in and does exactly what she asks him to do. we re going to show you how agile these guys are. 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 bridge on the perimeter peck wave.
remember one of the senior trainers at seaworld, tilikum was in a pool and she was walking over a gate and she had her wet suit unzipped tied around her waist and making cooing noises and going hey, tilikum. what a cute whale and play talking at him and one of the supervisors said get her out of there, and just screamed at her like get her away from there. like they were so worried something would happen and i remember thinking, why are you guys making such a big deal out of this when he didn t actually kill her? well, clearly management thought there was some reason to exercise caution around him. clearly, they knew more than they were telling us. ladies and gentlemen, the next to be seen you can only see right here at seaworld. jeff was out in the audience filming one of the shamu shows. it was a perfect show. all the hot dog sequences, water work sequences went off great. i was really excited just to be capturing this because it was
so that s why the animals are enduring the endoscope procedures. those are still seaworld s animals, and they are responsible for those animals. loro parque doesn t have a good reputation. people that work in the business know the reputation of places. and loro parque doesn t have a good reputation. they didn t spend the same amount of time as the seaworld trainers, didn t go through the same regimen the seaworld trainers went through. and alexis really was the best trainer. and i did say, i said, you re the only trainer there that can hold his own with a seaworld draper. but i said, you know, you need to be careful.
surface is such a great deal. i feel like i should tell somebody. hey! honestly i want to see you be brave i want to see you be brave [ female announcer ] some people like to pretend a flood could never happen to them. and that their homeowners insurance protects them.
