    That is so sad. I wonder what is going to happen to that whale. He's been involved in other deaths as well. Why was she in his tank? So so sad.

    RIP Dawn
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Yeah, he had been involved with the death of biology student and then they found the body of some college kid draped over his body one morning....I guess the guy hid and didn't leave the park and thought he could swim with them.....The whale cannot go back into the wild..it probably wouldn't survive....I feel, of course sorry for the trainer and her family, but can you imagine sitting in the audience, watching this....so sad for everyone

    Cindy, the latest I read was that the whale breached partway out of its tank, grabbed her, and shook her underwater. She was talking to visitors at the time.

    How horrible...I somehow hope she didn't know what hit her...

    It's very sad. I heard they're keeping the whale because it's a breeding bull.

    That is very sad I"m sure that trainer loved those whales very much too It says that the same whale has been associated with two other deaths as well.
