Killer whale lives up to its name
- 12 years ago
In the renowned US theme park "Sea World" in Orlando, Florida - Dawn Brancheau, a professional trainer, was killed by a killer whale while playing with it from a poolside platform.
The 12,000 pound sea animal snatched Brancheau with its jaws and dragged her underwater, where she died.
A whale expert insisted that because of killer whales' high level of intelligence, the attack was "pre-medidated and intentional".
It's the third death linked to this particular killer whale.
