Considering orcas are the top predator in the ocean, don't understand why people would want to swim with them. Great whites run from orcas. Wouldn't swim with a great white, so why swim with something even they are afraid of.

I've been watching that Continent 7 thing, where they're tracking a bunch of killer whales, and have also seen a bunch of other documentaries with them, and still have yet to see one with a flopped over dorsal fin. Blackfish pointed out that that never happens in the wild and Sea World refuted it, but based on what I've seen, Sea World is full of shite.

Was he just floating around in there or something?

The many-tonned orca — believed to be 36 years old and linked to the deaths of three people in that time — likely succumbed to a lung infection early in the morning, according to statement released by SeaWorld.

He was swimming on his side for a while, and then eventually flipped completely upside down. You know, like a bluegill that got gut hooked.

Sorry. One Seaworld trainer, one trespasser, and a SeaLand trainer.

Should have clarified

Sounds about right. Bet he didn't raise a single one of them either

When you kidnap a giant, smart, killer dolphin literally named a "Killer Whale" and put it in a swimming pool and swim with it, you shouldn't be surprised it when it kills you.

Planet Earth made me terrified of Killer Whales BTW.

The way they hunt in packs and made waves to knock sea lions off of the ice was insane.
