Not sure why mirror and the express are treating this like it just happened instead of it happening back in 2015 like it did, but this is one of the GOT episodes she worked on:
quote:

Katherine, a special effects editor, was part of the Game of Thrones team that bagged an Emmy for the 2014 episode The Children.


If vehicle driven by a guide why would it get so close to a lion in a vehicle where the windows could be rolled down by the passengers?

You would think they would child proof those windows and lock them just before they enter the lion enclosure. There is always someone who thinks wild animals are safe enough to do things that they are constantly told not to do.
quote:

Scott Simpson, the assistant operations manager at Lion Park, launched an investigation into the incident alongside police. He said: "When you drive through into the lion enclosure, which is separate from the rest of the park, you get handed a slip of paper at the gates reminding you to keep your windows closed at all times. You also have extensive signage absolutely everywhere warning people to keep them shut."

So they were just in their regular vehicles. Does each vehicle have its own guide???

If that is an actual picture just before the attack that lioness looks like a large female. Maybe that male is a juvenile and not run off yet (or I am just thinking larger vehicles would be used than actually used) as at least in pic the female looks noticeably larger in the trunk/body area.

I can’t speak to this place, but in Kruger National Park, you just drive in with your own vehicle. Idiot tourists routinely commit accidental suicide by lion when they get out of their car to get a better picture of the “sleepy looking lions”.

Why didn't they roll up the window? Drive away/

Apparently this happened in 2015. Not sure why outlets are reporting this as if it just happened.


Was gonna say.... 29 years old and was an editor on a show from ten years ago?

There are consequences for such a shitty ending to a series.


“killed by lion after it jumped through car window” would have been a better way to end GOT than what was written.
