that big blue... ish huuuuge o3o getting crushed by an orca is one thing, go get crushed by a big blue! D8 a seaworld trainer got crushed by an orca o3o he was riding on one, and the other orca in the show, she just came up and jumped and landed on him smooshed him.. they said the only thing keeping his body together was his wetsuit o3o,

That sounds scary. o.o; I've never been to SeaWorld and I've only been to six flags once.

[hyjin]

i never heard of that before

[Demonskid]

it was years and years ago,

the one you MAY have heard of was in 2010 i think, a trainer named Dawn, she was doing companionship exorcises, and Tilikun the orca took her arm and pulled her in the water.. from something one of the witnesses said to the emergency respondents was that the orca ate her arm, she had no arm. She died from drowning, the orca took her under and did rolls and stuff.

One trainer, an orca got a hold of his foot and took him under and stayed there for a minute, brought him back up. The guy he stayed calm and petted the orca trying to calm the thing. it let go of one foot and grabbed hold of the other and took him under again.. came back up, and i think he went under one more time (mom was talking and i was trying to get her to shut up so my attention wasn't fully on the video) well he finally got the orca to let go of him and he swam to shore and got saved, though both feet were badly damage.

He survived that attack because he didn't panic, he didn't try to force himself loose. He stayed calm, let the animal take him under (he's a pro diver so holding his breath for long periods was something he was use to, so that helped save his life) when he came back up he took calm breaths kept cool.

We hardly hear of any of these attacks cause seaworld does their best to keep them hidden.

When Dawn first died, seaworld told them she slipped and fell into the tank, which they had to retract that story when witness accounts said the whale grabbed her off the landing she was laying on for the companion stuff. Seaworld then said it was her ponytail Tilikun grabbed and that it was Dawns fault she should have had it up in a pony tail.

It was her arm he grabbed 3:<


Seaworld bought Tilikun from someplace that abused him. and at that place a young trainer was pulled under in a similar manner as Dawn and died. Seaworld told their own trainers that it was the female whales who killed that girl but it was Tilikun.

Another person was found dead in Tilikun's tank o3o he was some dude who wasn't a part of seaworld. Some stranger who snuck in and decided he wanted to swim with the orca like the trainers did. When they found his body in the morning, Tilikun had him on his back swimming around with him. ._., dead guy on a orca's back at seaworld

Okay, that last bit just sounds creepy...o.o;

[Demonskid]

Seaworld is not allowed to have trainers in the water any more, poor tilikun is ina tank all alone now, used as orca sperm bank. Ono no contact with other orcas and those are social　critters...

[ml1201]

Man, that's got to be awful. =(

[Demonskid]

yea, i bet. =( not his fault really. He learned at a young age that mean humans will with hold food. the first person he killed was a young female trainer, and it was at this one place that would intentionally with hold food for days i think they said.

The second person, not much information was given. They say seaworld has cameras all over, even in the water and NONE of them caught what happened. >.> suspicious

Third person, was Dawn. Tilikun didn't hear her whistle to stop waving to the fans so she refused to give him fish. DO WE SEE A PATTERN HERE?!! D:< Don't deprive the man of his food people! D:<

[ml1201]

Yeah, an orca that lived in conditions like that should not be in a show but rather an aquarium that would take good care of him. =(

[Demonskid]

The only aquarium that is actually big enough, is the one that was built for rehabilitating keiko. The aquariums that are out there are about the same size as the seaworld pools if not a little bigger.

[ml1201]

That really sucks. :/

[Demonskid]

Most humans dont care ono

[hyjin]
