SeaWorld is closed at the moment. A trainer was killed by a whale during a live show today.
The 40 year old trainer, Dawn Brancheau was reported to have slipped into the pool with the whale. "She apparently slipped and fell into the tank and was fatally injured by one of the whales," Orange County Sheriff's spokesman Jim Solomons said.
An audience member said a show was just starting when the whale "took off really fast in the tank, and then he came back, shot up in the air, grabbed the trainer by the waist and started thrashing around, and one of her shoes flew off," Victoria Biniak told WKMG-TV.
The news is reporting this same whale has been involved in 3 other deaths several years ago and at different locations.
