About 10:00 they got scared and decided to swim back. The younger brother made it to the river wall, the other one hit his head on a rock and drowned.

Guess he'll never do that again!!!

At least he didn't do anything as dumb as the guy at Sea World. He was apparently on something really strong, and probably had mental problems in addition, and he decided to hide in the park after hours to swim with Shamu. He wasn't spotted by security, and managed to strip down to his underwear and get in the tank with the whale. They found him floating nude the next morning, drowned. They believe that Shamu dragged him down to "play" with him, drowned him (probably accidentally), and pulled his underwear off in the process. The guy made the Darwin awards as a winner!

The BAD part was they probably blamed Shamu for not knowing that the poor SG needed special accomodations!

ANd they probably had to clean the tank!

I was actually there when it happened. Well, there the next day anyway. We came in to massive hubbub around the place - press, helicopters, police, and so forth. The Shamu Show was of course cancelled for that day, and we were all told to just say "technical difficulties".

REally big fish tale as we know Shamu would never touch a drunken bum. The guy probably fell asleep and the shorts fell off in the night. I feel sorry for Shamu, poor thing having to swim in the drunk tank. lol.

Which park was it? and what year? I remember the "secretary" that was helping make a commercial, and "Shamu" took hold of her leg and gave her a free ride around the pool!! It took the trainers a bit of work to get her released from the mouth! I remember seeing the first news footage on a local station in San Diego, she lost her swimsuit bottoms!! (they blurred it on subsequent showings)

FUN TIMES!!

The guy who was killed was Sea World Orlando 2 or 3 years ago. His estranged family even tried to sue Sea World because "they portray Shamu as being a huggable stuffed animal". Needless to say, that lawsuit was thrown out of court.

Good for the court! I am tired of hearing about SG's and Darwin award winners family's of getting rewarded for bad behavior! The funny thing about them trying to sue, at some point I hope lawyers for Seaworld asked "what part of Killer Whale don't you understand?"

Oh please...People will try anything to get money these days. We need a whole threrd devoted to stupid lawsuits. I am sure we all could come up with enough to make the thread the longest in history! LOL!

I get so infuriated when I hear of these ridiculous and frivolous lawsuits. People these days are so sue happy. It started with that idiotic McDonalds coffee one where the woman WON and it paved the way for people to try their own version of win the lottery from a company with deep pockets. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

I am glad Shamu was exonerated.

He shouldn't be dissed like that!
