"Tillikum and two female whales drowned their trainer during a performance at Sealand of the Pacific, in British Columbia."
I was very young when this happened, but I remember it well. Sealand was a block away from my house. The young girl dying rattled the whole municipality.
This whale (and the others) just like to play. It's just a horribly unfortunate accident.
