Seaworld Trainer Die's

Dawn Brancheau, 40 was killed when a bull orca named Tilikum jump out of the water and grabbed her by the waist then pulled her underwater, no one knows why the whale attack. Tilikum is one of three whales that has been blamed for killing a trainer in 1991 at Sealand of the Paciffic in Victoria, British Columbia. A man's body was also found draped over Tilikum at Orlando Seaworld in July 1999.

Daniel Dukes made his way past security at Seaworld, he either jumed, fell or was pulled into the Tilikum's tank.

Dawn Brancheau had just finished explaining to the audience about the show they was going to see when the attack happened. Visitors were evacuated from the park, and the park closed. It is very sad when attacks like this happens, and the trainers who work with these wonderful mammals understand more than anyone, that at heart, no matter how much training they do they are wild animals and there are risks . The love and devotion the trainers have for this mammals, bring us understanding and knowlege about these curtures. Dan Brown the park's general manager said Dawn "was one of our most experienced animal trainers"
