A tragic event. goes to show how powerful and fast these animals are. But the trainer falling is an accident in general and I hope people don't look negatively on the park.

Yes this is a tragic accident right here. One thing that is scary is that this is not the first time this same killer whale has been involved in something like this. Before it came to SeaWorld, it was involved in a tragic accident that killed another person too. It really is a sad case and I do hope that it does not cause people to think negative of the park. Unfortunately, accidents do happen, but I do see the media making a frenzy about this same killer whale being a concern back in 1991 too.

He sure is living up to the name. Watching Nightline I'm shocked with the details.
