(UPDATE: NOT DAWN IN FOOTAGE) Amateur Home Video Captures Tilikum Killing Trainer Dawn Brancheau (CAUTION - Mature Rating)

Do Not Watch This If Easily Offended or Squeamish

I wish to caution my reader, while this is not bloody, or "graphic" in the sense that the movies we have become accustomed to are, it is still a person fighting for their life, and as we all know, this person looses. 

A reader pointed out that this is not Dawn Brancheau being attacked here by this Killer "Whale," upon further viewing, this reader is correct, my apologies:

That is not Tilikum. You can see that this whale has a straight dorsal fin. Tilikum's dorsal fin is curled over. The person in the water appears to be a man...no ponytail. Tilikum is also much larger than this whale.

Thank you to the anonymous reader. One adept poster at the videos comment section wrote this:

This is NOT the recent killer whale attack at seaworld. This is film of another attack but not Dawns attack. The trainers at the time of Dawns attack we're wearing the black and white suits. It was also an overcast day at the time of the attack and the sun was not out... and finally, this is not the tank she was killed in. It is very clear that this is NOT the most recent attack.

You can see her in all her "prime" in this SeaWorld Ad, this is with thanks to Kathy Riordan, she has lots of info on Dawn and other aspects of this "taming" of wild beasts:

Here is some amateur footage of Dawn Brancheau working at the 2006 Sea World "Believe" show.

Small Rogue Wave Caught on Film

Two killed when 26 feet high tidal wave hits a cruise ship carrying 1,350 passengers & 580 crew

An Italian and a German passenger reportedly died while an old woman ended up with broken pair of legs when a wave as high as some 26 feet hit the Louis Majesty, a cruise ship carrying 1,350 passengers and 580 crew.

News from Barcelona Spain reveals that the sad incident occurred in the Mediterranean Sea when a huge tidal wave struck with full force against the Louis Majesty yesterday.

The impact of the strike was so powerful that it nearly toppled the huge boat while smashing its glass windshields and as a result; two passengers died off severe injuries they sustained.

The officials, however, didn’t release names of the death victims as yet.

Meanwhile, an old woman that has been reported nearly 62 years of age ended up severely injured and lost both of her legs.

There were many other passengers that also suffered minor injuries following natural disastrous collision and as per cough calculations; the wave was nearly 26-foot-high and it smashed into the ship with full force.

The vessel was cruising along nice and smooth while in the northeast Catalonia region of Spain towards a Genoa, Italy port and according to a Barcelona port authorities’ spokesperson, the Louis Majesty was sailed to Barcelona by the ship captain after seeking the permission to dock in.

The dead and the injured passengers were evacuated and at Barcelona where the injured were offered treatment.

According to reports from Greek Coast Guard it appears that it was port of Marseille near the French Mediterranean where the wave hit the ship and that it was bad weather that made the captain to reroute and head to Genoa instead.

The Louis Majesty was actually traveling in the direction of Barcelona but all of a sudden the unpleasant incident occurred and left the ship wrecked.
