Fire crews evacuated guests and attempted to rescue her but were unsuccessful in reviving her. There were reports of a previous female trainer’s death in 1991 by the orca, Tillkum.SeaWorld trainers were previously attacked the SeaWorld park location in 200 4 and 2006 by orcas

Dawn Brancheau was a trainer with sixteen years of experience and SeaWorld affirmed that an investigation is under way after the death on Wednesday afternoon Dawn Brancheau.There were statements of possibilities that she slipped and fell and it was still to be ascertained if the 5450kg (12.000lb) Orca had attacked the trainer. Witnesses portray a version of the event of the an incident stating that the trainer was grabbed and shaken violently.The whale (Orcinus, orca) , represents the largest of the dolphin species and roam the Antarctic and Arctic oceans to tropical seas. They specialize in sea lions, salmon, seals large whales and walruses as prey. They were considered under threat as a result of loss of prey, pollution and habitat. There have been few document human attacks
But witnesses told a different story.There were tourists at an underwater viewing location that saw trainer in the whale’s mouth. The Sea world park with dolphin and seal, and marked by stories of the killer whale resumed to closing after this horrendous incident. The San Diego SeaWorld suspended the show on killer whales as well.

Tillicum is reported to have a history of attack incidents. The orca was also linked to a killing in 1991 of a trainer who fell into a marine park British Colombia pool in Canada. Another incident is when the whale who was nicknamed “Telly” was bought by SeaWorld in Orlando, a naked mans body was discovered by authorities in 1999.The conclusion and justification by official related to this particular incident was that the man had probably suffered hypothermia after either hiding after the closing time or creeping into the park after it was officially closed for the day.The dubious past of the whale has incurred several whale incidents at SeaWorld.A trainer in November 2006 escaped with his broken foot after being held underwater and bitten by a female whale at a SeaWorld show in San Diego.Another incident occurred in 2004, a whale at SeaWorld’s San Antonio Park attempted biting trainer who escaped.

The orca (Orcinus orca), is the largest member of the dolphin family in the ocean and Peta, the group for animal rights stated that it had made request to SeaWorld to discontinue confining wild ocean mammals to areas too small for them.
