killer whale trainer, but i don't know anything about these animal's natural history or their behavior. i really in some ways believed a lot of what i was learning from them because why would they lie? >> because the whales in their pools die young, they like to say that all orcas die at 25 to 35 years. >> 25 to 35 years. >> they're documenting in the wild living to be about 35, mid 30s. it's longer in this environment because they have all the veterinary care. >> and of course that's false. we knew by 1980 after a half a dozen years after the research they live equivalent to human life spans and every other potentially embarrassing fact is twisted and turned and denied one way or another. >> like the floppy dorsal fins.
1:01 am
>> it happens in less than 1% of wild killer whales. we know this. all of the captive males 100% have collapsed dorsal fins. >> they say they are a family. the whales are in their family. they have their pods but that is an artificial assemblage of their collects however, nature decides to mix them and whatever happens to be born or brought in. that's not a family, you know? come on. >> you've got animals from different cultural subsets brought in some various parks. these are different nations. these aren't two different killer whales. these animals have different genes. they use different languages. >> what could happen as a result of them being thrown in with other whales that they haven't grown up with and are not part of their culture there is
1:02 am
hyperaggression, a lot of violence, a lot of killing, and captivity that you don't ever see in the wild. >> for the health and safety of the animals, please do not put your hands in the water. >> always sort of this backdrop and underpinning of tension between animals. whale on whale was just part of the daily existence. >> we ask that you use the stairs and aisleways as you exit. at least do not step on the seat. these areas may become wet and, therefore, slippery to some footwear. thank you. >> in the wild where there is tension they have thousands of square miles to exit the scene and they can get away. you don't have that in captivity. can you imagine being in a small concrete enclosure for your life when you're used to swimming a hundred miles a day? >> sometimes this aggression
1:03 am
became very severe. in fact, whales have died in captivity because of this aggression. >> i think it was 1988 surfer rammed corky. it fractured her jaw, which cut an artery in her head and then she bled out. that's got to be a hard way to go down. >> i saw that there was just a lot of things that weren't right and there was a lot of misinformation and something was amiss. you know, i sort of compartmentalized that part of it and did what i had to take care of the animals that were there. >> i think all of the trainers there have the same thing in their heart. they are trying to make a difference in the lives of the animals. >> you think that if i leave, who is going to take care of tillicum? that why i stayed. if you want to get down to the nuts and bolts of it, i stayed because i felt sorry for
1:04 am
tillicum. i couldn't bring myself to stop coming and try to take care of him. be. >> gosh do i love coming out here every day and having the audience just love what we are doing with the animals. how do i make this animal as beautiful as they are and i feel like i made a difference to them. >> i left in january of 2010, a month before dawn passed away. she was like a safety guru. i mean, she was always double-checking, making sure everyone was doing the right thing. i remember she would record every show that she did and watch it and critique herself and she was constantly trying to be better.
1:05 am
when i found out it was dawn, i was shocked. that could have been me by i could have been the spotter. what if i was there and i could have saved her? all of these things go through your mind. >> john is the guy who in 1987 was crushed between two whales at seaworld of san diego. now even though i had been working at seaworld for six months, i had no idea that even had happened and never heard that story and the sea line party said that was a trainer's error. >> it was john's fault. john's fault. he was supposed to get off that whale and for years i believed that and i told people that. i actually started seaworld like five days after that event occurred and we weren't told much about it, other than it was
1:06 am
trainer error and, you know, especially when you're new into the program, you don't really question a whole lot. well, years later when you look at the footage, you go, he didn't do anything wrong. that whale just landed on him and that whale went to the wrong spot, it could have been aggression or who knows, but it was not the trainer's fault watching that video. >> i saw the video of the killer whale landing on john. it absolutely took my breath away. i gasped. i could not believe what i was saying. his wet suit basically held him together but i know he's had multiple surgeries and tons of hardware in his body and it's amazing i didn't actually see that video when i was an animal trainer. it seems that every person who works with killer whales should have to watch that video.
1:07 am
>> tamry, you know, tamry made mistakes. the most important one was interacting with whales without a spotter so she's putting her foot on orchid, taking her foot off and on and off. watching the video knowing, you know what is probably going to happen. she grabbed her foot. tamry whips around and she grabs the gate. you see her just ripped from the gate. at this point in time tamry knows that she's in trouble. she is under the water splashing. they have her and out of view and no other trainer nose noes this is happening. people start to scream. the pacific guest that was filming it. you don't see her but you see tamry surface. you hear her just scream out,
1:08 am
"somebody, help me!" . the way she screamed it, she knew she was going to die. robin, when he ran over, he made a brilliant decision. he told the trainer to run and take the chain off the gate. by doing that, it gave thor that was coming in and is more dominant than orchid. her arm was u-shaped. it was compound fractured. she's very lucky to be alive, that's for sure. >> i believe it's 70 plus maybe each more just killer whale trainer accident. maybe 30 of them happened to me
1:09 am
prior to being at seaworld and i knew about none of them. >> i've seen animals come out of trainers. >> something is wrong. >> i've seen people get slammed. >> the whales, they are just playing or they are upset for a seco second. it was just something that happened, you know? >> it's culture. you get back on the horse and you dive back in the water and if you're hurt, well, then we got other people that will replace you and you came a long way. you sure you want that?
1:10 am
>> a seaworld trainer is recovering today after a terrifying ordeal in front of a horrified audience. >> for some reason, the whale just took a different approach to what it was going to do with a very senior, very experienced trainer ken peters and dragged to the bottom of the pool and held him in the bottom. let him go. picked him up. took him down again.
1:11 am
and these periods he was taken down were pretty close to the mark. a minute. a minute 20. when he was at the surface, he didn't panic. he didn't thrash. he didn't scream. maybe he's just built that way, but he stroked the whale and the whale let go of one foot and grabbed the other. that's a pretty deep pool. he took him right down. i think that's to atmospheric pressure. experience mr. peters is an
1:12 am
experienced scuba diver and i think knew what to do. you can see him in the film. you can see him ventilating, you see him ventilating very hard so he knows about swimming and diving and being underwater. he may assume he was going under again. i walked away with impressed by his calm demeaner. i would have been scared shitless. he was near to the end. presumably ken peters had a
1:13 am
relationship with this male. maybe he did and maybe that is what saved him but peters got the whale to let him go and they strung a net across. and ken peters pulled himself over the float line and swam like a demon because the whale was coming right behind him. the whale jumped over and came right after him. he tried to stand up and run but his feet were damaged. he just fell. he scrambled. they take this as a prime example of their training work and they say, well, stand back and stay calm and that did work. they claim this is almost a victory of how they do business.
1:18 am
goner! >> orange county sheriff deputies have identified the 27-year-old man found dead in a killer whale's tank at seaworld. the victim is daniel p. dukes from south carolina. dukes was found yesterday draped over the back of tillicum, the largest orca in captainivity. >> he was a young man who had been arrested not long before he was arrested in seaworld and maybe he climbed the barbed wire fence and stayed after hours. >> a mentally disturbed man hides in the park after hours and wants to have a magical experience with an orca and he drowned. >> he was not detected by the night watch trainers who were
1:19 am
presumably at that station. >> there are cameras all over seaworld and cameras all over the back of shamu stadium pointing every which way. there are cameras all over. i find it hard to believe that nobody knew until the morning that there was a body in there. they have, what, a night watch trainer every night. that person didn't hear any splashing or screaming? i just find that really suspicious. >> one of the employees. i don't know for it was a physical therapist or somebody coming in in the morning and a tillicum with a dead guy on his back and parading him around the back pool. the public relations spin on this was that that he was kind of a drifter and died of hypothermia but the medical examiner reports were more graphic than that. for example, tillicum stripped him and bit off his genitals. there were bite marks all over his body. >> now, whether that was post
1:20 am
death or predeath, i don't know. but all i can comment on is that the guy definitely jumped in the wrong pool. so why keep tillicum there? he is clearly a liability to the institution. why keep him around? it's simple to answer that is his seamen is worth a lot of money. >> over the world tillicums is one of the main breeding whales at seaworld. they can get his sperm and freeze it and he is operating a sperm bank.
1:21 am
you would not breed toward humans. imagine if you had a pit bull that animal would likely have been put down but in the entire seaworld collection it's 54% of the them have tillicuma genes. >> you have to understand why tillicum was a hazard to anybody in the water. and you have to understand that none of the other killerwhales at seaworld on are in that system or in that way. >> i can't speak about laura
1:22 am
1:23 am
>> loro parque is in the canary islands in spain. it's the largest tourist attraction in all of spain. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> and when seaworld sent the orcas to loro parque, everybody was always questioning like, how did they make that leap to send four young orcas off the west coast of africa with trainers who a lot of them had never been around orcas before. nothing was ready. the venue wasn't ready. it wasn't ready for the orcas. it wasn't ready for the show. the owner of the park didn't want to lose revenue by shutting down the pools and repairing them. so for three years, the animals ate the pools and for three
1:24 am
years, the animals had problems with their teeth and with their stomachs. that's why the reason the animals are enduring the endoscope procedures. those are still seaworld's animals, and they are responsible for those animals. loro parque doesn't have a good reputation. people that work in the business know the reputation of other businesses and loro parque didn't have a good reputation. they didn't spend the same amount of time as the seaworld trainers. didn't go through the same regimen the seaworld trainer went through. and alexi really was the best trainer. i did say, you know, you're the only trainer there that could hold its own with a seaworld trainer, you know, but i said you need to be careful.

as trainers, we never forget shamu's true potential. we see it each and every day. that's why all of our reactions are very carefully thought out, especially our waterwork interaction. whoa! you big dork! especially our water work interactions because they're potentially the most dangerous. >> i've been expecting it since the second person was killed. i've been expecting somebody to be killed by tilikum. i'm surprised it took as long as it did.
1:33 am
>> first tonight, a six-time killer whale has lived up to its name, killing an experienced trainer at seaworld today. >> a tourist said the whale seemed agitated. >> trainers complained the whales weren't cooperating. >> the main show was a disaster that day. >> they were whales chasing each other and eventually the trainers decided that they had to stop the show and they couldn't get the whales under control. >> tilikum was in the back pool set up to do a dine with shamu performance with dawn. >> likely she saw what had gone on during the main show, so she probably felt pressured to do a more good show. when you watch the whole video, you can see that tilikum is actually really with dawn in the beginning of the video. there's a couple of behaviors that she asks him to do where tilikum just jumps right in and
1:34 am
he does exactly what she asks him to do. >> there seemed to be a point in the session where things went south, so to speak, and it was, in my humble opinion, it was at that missed bridge, whistle bridge on the perimeter's pec wave. >> she asked him to do a perimeter pec wave, where she asked him to basically go all the away around the pool and wave his pectoral flipper, and she blows her whistle, which is a bridge, which tells the that, okay, you've done a good job, come back and get food, but he missed that cue. and he went all the way around the pool on this perimeter pec wave. >> we're going to let him keep on waving. >> my interpretation is that he didn't hear the whistle. >> so not only did he not hear the bridge, then he went and did a perfect behavior and came back
1:35 am
and what he got was what we call three-second neutral response, which is just to let the whale know, no, you didn't do the correct thing. you're not going to get rewarded, and then we're going to move on, and you can also see through the video that dawn is running out of food. >> the animals can sense when you're getting to the bottom of your bucket of fish, because they can hear the ice clanging around and the kind of fishy soupy water at the bottom and the handfuls of fish they get delivered by the trainer are all getting smaller. so they know they're coming down to the end of session. >> when you see the difference between the beginning of the video and the end of the video, you can see that he's just not quite on his game anymore. >> there's no food left. she kept asking him for more and more behaviors. he wasn't getting reinforced for the behaviors that he was doing correctly. he probably was frustrated towards the end. then she walked around the perimeter of g-pool. he followed her. and then continued over into the
1:36 am
rocky ledge area where she laid down with him to do a relationship session, which is quiet time basically. tilikum at some point grabbed a hold of her left forearm and started to drag her and eventually did a barrel roll and pulled her in. may have started as play or frustration, and clearly escalated to the very violent behavior that i think was anything but play. in the end, you know, he basically just completely mutilated that poor girl. >> they were gathering all of the trainers at the texas park. he said there's been an accident. at the florida park and a trainer was killed. hearing that it was dawn, i couldn't believe it. i just remember saying to myself, not dawn. it can't be dawn.
1:37 am
he said that, and he still has her. and i just was so disturbed by that, and the reality of how powerless we are. >> laceration, fractures, abrasion. fractures and associated hemorrhages, blunt force traumas to the main body, to the extremities. to see this meated out against a trainer and i cannot fathom the reason, is shocking. the lawyer for osha asked me what i thought we had learned, and i'm sitting in the courtroom, and i've got the kelty burn case file in one hand and i've got dawn brancheau in the other and they're almost to the day 20 years apart and i'm looking at these two things and my only answer is nothing. in fact, there's not a damn thing. we have not learned a damn thing for something like that to happen 20 years apart.
1:40 am
1:41 am
1:42 am
>> at first, seaworld reported that a trainer slipped and fell in the water and was drowned. that was the first report. >> it wasn't until eyewitness accounts disputed that they went in the huddle and said we have to come up with a new plan. >> seaworld confirmed the killer whale pulled the woman into the water. she didn't fall into the tank as the sheriff's department initially reported. >> the new plan was he grabbed her ponytail. this is a subtle way of blaming it on dawn. she shouldn't have had that ponytail, and it should have been up in a bun. >> dawn, if she was standing here now would tell me that was her mistake in allowing that to happen. >> they blamed her. how dare you? how disrespectful for you to blame her when she's not even alive to defend herself. >> he grabbed her ponytail and pulled her into the water. that's as simple as it gets. >> there are photographs of plenty of other trainers doing exactly the same thing that she was doing. so i knew that seaworld was lying act the fact that this was her fault.
1:43 am
>> the ponytail, in all likelihood, is just a tale. the safety spotter who apparently didn't actually see the takedown came up with that. >> now during the spotter's testimony, osha pushed him to say that he wasn't really sure it was her ponytail that was in the whale's mouth, that he just saw her underwater and he assumed it was the ponytail. osha contends that the whale came up and grabbed on brancheau's arm, saying that that was another level of aggressiveness. seaworld is saying it was not an aggressive move. >> one of seaworld's top curator's said when dawn brancheau was pulled off the ledge, it wasn't necessarily aggressive by the whale. >> the initial grab was not an act of aggression. this is not a crazed animal. >> the industry has a vested interest in spinning these so that the animals continue to appear like cuddly teddy bears that are completely safe. it sells a lot of shamu dolls. it sells a lot of tickets at the
1:44 am
gates. that's the story line that they're going to continue to stick with for as long as they can. >> recognize that those that say this is a crazed animal that acted out and grabbed dawn maliciously, they want to prove the theory that captivity whales makes them crazy. >> all whales in captivity have a bad life. they're all psychologically traumatized. so they're ticking time bombs. it's not just tilikum. >> we have to separate what happened to dawn, and as tragic as it is, no one wants to ever see it ever happen again. can seaworld create an
1:45 am
environment where it never happens again? yes, i absolutely believe they can. what if there were no seaworlds? i can't imagine a society with the value we put in marine mammals if those parks didn't exist. >> i'm not at all interested in having my daughter, who is 3 1/2, grow up thinking it's normalized to have these intelligent highly evolved animals in concrete pools. i don't want her to think that's how we treat the kin that we find ourselves around on this planet. i think it's atrocious. >> this hearing is expected to last all week with osha continuing to work towards this theory, that seaworld knew there was a calculated risk of injury or death, but put trainers in the water with the whales anyway. why seaworld will say that dawn brancheau's death was an isolated incident. reporting live in seminole county, dave mcdaniel, west 2 news.
1:49 am
try capzasin-hp. it penetrates deep to block pain signals for hours of relief. capzasin-hp. take the pain out of arthritis. >> there's something wrong with tilikum, that there's something wrong, and that's when you have a relationship with an animal, and you understand that he's killing, not to be a savage. he's not killing because he's just crazy. he's not killing because he doesn't know what he's doing. he's killing because he's frustrated, and he's got aggravations, and he doesn't know how to -- he has no outlet for it. >> now tilikum is spending a great deal of time by himself
1:50 am
and basically floating lifeless in a pool. >> three hours now. and he hasn't moved. >> they try to sugar coat it by saying he comes out in the front pool every once in a while. now he's doing shows. you know what he does in his show? he does a few bows. and then he goes back into his little jail cell. that's his life. >> i feel sad for tilikum. a regal thing like him swimming around a tank with his fin flopped over like that, you know, compared to a wild bull killer whale that size, which is one of the most kinetic and dynamic things you can imagine. i feel sad when i see him. >> it's time to stop the shows. it's time to stop forcing the animals to perform in basically
1:51 am
a circus environment and they should release the animals that are young enough and healthy enough to be released. and the whales like tilikum that are old and sick that have put in 20 years in this environment, should be relieved to an ocean pen so they can live out their lives and experience the national rhythms of the ocean. >> this is a multibillion dollar corporation that makes its money through the exploitation of orcas. >> they're not suitable to have in captivity. >> the whales are really bored. you deprive them of all the environmental stimulation. >> i think that in 50 years, we'll look back and go, my god, what a barbaric time. ♪

2:23 am
the size of its offering to $1.4 million. it values twitter at about $11 billion and impressive until you consider that twitter is still losing money and probably will continue to lose money in the foreseeable fut. wall street doesn't seem to mind that for now as long as twitter ramps up sales which it has been doing. old school technology now. motivate microsoft. the news sent microsoft stock up 5% in after hours trading. the other tech titan released amazon a season that some retail experts have warned could be far from cheerful. >> but also not profitable. >> investors are happy with its sales growth. the stock grew more than 8% after the sale of trading.

2:31 am
let's face it, every country has its own intelligence gathering but the scale and the coscope o audacity of tapping another leader's phone. it's embarrassing especially for german intelligence to find out angela merkel's phone may have been monitored. >> and getting caught is one of the big issues here. you say germany and france demanding a meeting before the end of the year before "the new york times." any sign this could get in the way of key cooperation between the u.s. and its european allies? on trade big discussions going on and security partnerships at stake here. any sense those could be in any kind of jeopardy? >> i think the security partnerships are very solid but there has been some discussion about whether or not this could possibly even detrail an eu/u.s. trade back and unlikely but certainly delay it and also a data privacy protection act that is currently working its way through european parliament and that has gathered a lot more
2:32 am
momentum as a result of this. that could have an impact on companies like facebook and could see the eu passing laws that say, facebook, twitter, other companies you won't be able to gather the kind of data you had on customers before in europe. >> it really does seem like this is going to leave a mark. atikati shubert in london, than you. we are hearing from a student wounded this week in sparks nevada. the shooter has been identified as a 12-year-old. jose reyes. he took his own life. stephanie elam spoke exclusively with a classmate who said he tried to help the teacher before had he, himself, was also shot. >> reporter: did you come face-to-face with him? did he say anything to you? he just shot you? how far away from you was he? >> about 10, 20 feet. >> reporter: and did you realize right away that you had been shot? did you know? you knew it? >> yeah.

2:34 am
in the building, get in the school fast, and then that's when i ran and i got shot. >> reporter: did you know the boy who was doing the shooting? what kind of person was he? >> he was nice. but i think he had some mental issues in his head. >> reporter: why did you think that? >> because he argues with people a lot. i see him being argumentative with teachers and students and that is why i think he is a little mental up in the head.
2:35 am
so you knowknow. >> reporter: did he have friends? did you see him with friends? >> i had seen him with friends but i don't think he was being bullied at all. >> reporter: oh, really? >> because if he was being bullied, then i saw it, i would have stuck up for him. i was one of his friends. >> reporter: so when you saw it was him with a gun shooting, what were you thinking? >> before i got shot, i was like, please don't shoot me, please don't shoot me. i looked at him and he shot me in my stomach. >> reporter: he didn't say anything? >> he didn't say anything like please don't shoot me, please don't shoot me and he raised it and, boom, he shot me. >> reporter: here is someone you say was a friend and someone you say you would have stuck up if you saw him bullied but this is the same boy who shot you. what did you think of that? >> after he shot me, i thought that he wasn't my boyfriend.
2:36 am
>> reporter: what do you want people to learn from what you've been through? >> i want people to learn from what i've been through is to -- if you ever shot a gun and you accidentally killed somebody, you would have made a very big mistake from that and i used to treat guns not poorly, but a little poorly, because i thought they were a toy, but when i got shot, i learned that they are not just a toy, they are a weapon, and it could damage somebody very bad, so i want everybody in the world to know that in war and battles and anything doing with weapons and guns and knives, they are all weapons and they could kill you very easily if you hit the right
