Guests at SeaWorld Orlando watched in horror today, Wednesday afternoon as a killer whale named Tilikum, a 30-year-old bull orca weighing 12,300 pounds fatally attacked an unidentified 40-year-old female trainer while she was explaining details of a frequently performed show at Shamu Stadium. This happened right before a performance.
Witness Victoria Biniak tells WKMG-TV the whale got a hold of the trainer's waist. "He was thrashing her around pretty good," Biniak says. "It was violent."
Paramedics were called to the theme park but could not revive the woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
