thing any man can do at this age. i'm 59, i'm celebrating and celebrating and celebrating. >> and that was the night before. >> had i ever worried about an accident with siegfried & roy? yes, we had considered that grim possibility. >> when you perform the same thing 40,000-plus times, there is a chance for an incident, and on the night of october the third 3rd of '03, this was an incident. >> that was a night that was just like any other. this was a show that you had done countless times. >> that's right. >> and there had never, ever been a hiccup. >> yes. >> that's a story we always hear about big cat attacks. oh, he'd never done anything before. well, cats don't get a lot of chances to attack their trainer. it usually only happens once. >> it's the 8:00 show and everybody is expecting the usual dazzling performance. the crowd is filing in.

it's about 1,500 people, and among them are andrew cushman and paul diantonio. >> we got into the show i'd say 15 minutes before it started, sat down. we were dead center right in front of the stage. we knew we had good seats. we didn't know we had the best seats in the place. >> andrew and paul are seated at a table in row "f," and that's about 20 feet from the stage. >> and remember as you can see from this photograph in the program, there is no barrier separating the animals from anyone. these animals are right on top of the audience. >> this is dangerous. you can't look away. it's impossible to look away, because there's tigers that are, you know, 20 feet away from you on stage. >> and the audience loved it. they just loved it. i mean, 'cause they can touch them. >> say hello. >> most of the show there's actors and actresses every. >> 45 minutes into the show, the lights go off, and there's just a spotlight on roy horn. he just walks out with just a tiger.

>> and he introduced the tiger. >> this is mantecore. and tonight is his first appearance in front of an audience. >> and then said it was the tiger's first time on stage in front of an audience, which we have since learned is part of the show. they say that every time. >> it's a little gimmicky thing to make the audience feel good and that they were special to be at that show. >> someone you like? >> when, you know, mantecore's in the show every night. it's a little showbiz, a little white lie, we might call it. >> in any of these illusions, timing is everything. >> roy kneels down, puts the microphone in front of his face so that the audience can hear the animal growl.

then roy stands up. the tiger jumps up, puts his front paws on roy's shoulders and gives roy a kiss. >> when roy introduced mantecore, he does the things what he did 150,000 times. >> for some reason this time mantecore comes out, and he misses his mark on the stage. >> now, there's a lot of disagreement as to what happened next and why, and there is tape of the incident, but the hotel has steadfastly refused to release it. >> the one thing that is clear is that that night changed siegfried & roy forever. >> what happened was, the animal got confused. mantecore got confused. >> i've been in the situation where a tiger is confused as to what's he's being asked. and that night, that particular night, something was different in mantecore's brain that then said, not tonight. >> and roy gave him a tap on the

head, which is a secondary command to obey, and the animal reached up with its mouth, and took roy's hand and pushed it away. >> the tiger reached around to the right and grabbed his right wrist. i saw that, and i immediately thought that didn't look too good. >> it kind of nipped at his hand, and he smacked at it. >> once the music abruptly stopped, it kind of got quiet, at that point i sensed something was wrong. >> roy knew that this was completely off-script. this was way out of line. so roy knows what you always do is you distract the tiger. so he took the microphone with a soft rubber tip, and he hit him on the side of the head. >> which you could hear because the microphone was on over the p.a. system. >> the sound was just so loud. pow, pow, pow. >> at some point the tiger has to decide if he wants to listen to this person or not.

>> at that point roy fell over the right front paw of mantecore, on his back. >> he fell on the stage. >> he fell on the stage. and then of course i thought, oh, my god, roy is in trouble. >> big trouble, because while nothing ever happened before, mantecore is a 400 pound tiger and has roy completely at his mercy. seen this. so, farmers is reducing auto premiums by 25%, extending payment due dates, and expanding coverage for the delivery drivers who are carrying us through. and then we'll do the next thing, and the thing after that, until this is another thing we've seen and done.

get seriously hurt >> this huge tiger opens his mouth and grabs roy by the neck. >> he was bleeding out on the floor. >> he has seconds to live. >> what really happened on stage that night? >> that particular night, something was different in mantecore's mind. anyone who challenges that is going to suffer the consequences. >> it's an exposure in front of everybody. a trick going wrong. kind of a destroyer of the magic. >> i thought we had heard the whole story, until this. one of the trainers who was there that night, chris lawrence, has come forward say, roy was essentially to blame. was he? >> no way. >> hello. here we are. >> this dazzling magic show is going along as planned.

siegfried & roy are about 45 minutes into the show. >> this is mantecore. >> when suddenly something unexpected happens. >> why would the tiger go after roy? because it's a tiger. >> nothing stands out in my mind that could say, well, maybe that would set the tiger off. maybe, you know, that kid yelling or that person standing up and waving. i mean, i don't remember anything to that effect at all. >> it's like the jfk assassination. everybody's going to have a theory. >> what happened? >> at a sudden i felt very, very dizzy and very blurry. and i couldn't really step my feet further so i tripped and fell. >> you tripped and fell because you were dizzy? >> yeah. >> whatever the reason, roy is now in a horrifying position. he is laying on the stage floor underneath mantecore.

and the animal is not responding to him. >> the next thing we knew, the tiger was on top of roy. >> i've been under a tiger many times. that tiger is certainly in a situation that he's never been in before. and their brain -- it's all instinctual. that's when the fear kicks in. your life is in danger. >> the illusion was everything. and so even as things went awry, you might not know that something horrible was happening. >> they thought it was the act. >> some of them they thought it was an act. they knew there was something wrong, but they didn't know what exactly was going on. behind the curtain i heard some people even was laughing. >> there was a headset by me. and all i heard was "he's got roy." >> i remember mantecore was standing over me and looking at me with his beautiful blue eyes. he was a little bit confused for what shall be next? >> he just looked around helpless, and at the moment

i was think, what can i do? and i think that was the same thing with mantecore. >> i ran straight downstage. it took me maybe three seconds to get there. >> all four handlers were out on the stage trying to get mantecore in line. >> none of the people who ran out on stage were able to help, and in that moment the situation goes from bad to unbelievably worse. >> this huge tiger opens his mouth and grabs roy by the neck. >> it was devastating. >> roy is screaming, "ah, ah!" >> the screams, the noise, everything. >> mantecore decided he was going to decide what was going to happen for himself that day and anyone who challenges that is going to suffer the consequences. >> there was really nothing he could do at that point. the only way he was going to get out was for that tiger to let go. >> it wasn't like he grabbed him viciously. he just grabbed him by the throat and just walked f-age. i mean, i thought it was part of

the show. i really did. >> when mantecore picked you up, did you feel pain when that was happening? >> no. >> you felt nothing? >> no, he was very gentle. >> so you had no idea that you were bleeding as badly as you were backstage? >> no. >> was it pandemonium backstage? >> totally. >> were people panicking? >> absolutely. >> mantecore was carrying roy, heading toward his cage. i grabbed him by the tail, which caused mantecore to stop. he's, like, halfway in his cage now, and he still had ahold of roy. >> and that gave the guys backstage a moment to grab a fire extinguisher, and go -- that made mantecore drop roy. and roy was bleeding out on the floor. >> behavior of dragging off is, in my opinion, a tiger who's become protective of something that they want. this tiger does not see roy horn as a prey item. nor does he see him as a source of food. he says, roy horn is now mine. i am dominant of him.

i am going to defend it. >> we need paramedics at the siegfried & roy theater. roy horn has been bitten by a tiger. >> the cast saved him. and the quick thinking of the handle wheir fingers in the two puncture wounds to stem the flow of blood until the paramedics got there. >> he had seconds to live. all we can do is wait for paramedics. >> he kept saying, don't hurt mantecore. don't let anyone hurt mantecore. >> because he did nothing wrong. and roy knew also he did nothing wrong. >> and obviously, that's what we did. no one hurt mantecore. >> the next thing i remember is roy being wheeled out by the paramedics and hearing him gasping for breath. >> he's gone. he's -- he's gone. he's dead. >> the paramedics are there. they have now whisked roy away for emergency treatment, but the audience -- can you just imagine the audience? they don't even know what happened. >> from the moment he left stage, it was just complete

silence until siegfried came out, and he said something to the effect that he had been injured and that the show was canceled. >> i guess the first time i really realized that this was -- this was real and that this guy was seriously hurt was when i walked out of the auditorium and just noticed grown-ups, grown women crying on their -- sitting on the seats on the slot machines, just sobbing. >> and after he left, somebody said, "i know we're not all religious here, but, you know, i think it's appropriate that we all say a prayer. and everybody held hands and just prayed and waited for news. >> roy was slashed by his own gc he is unable to maintain his own airway. he is also not able to speak. we are unable to get blood pressure at this time. heart rate of 142. >> incredibly, on the way to the hospital, they encountered

another crisis -- a train crossing. so the gates are down, they can't move, and they're losing precious seconds, precious seconds when this man has lost so much blood. >> breaking news. in front of hundreds of fans on the las vegas strip tonight, one of the rare tigers at siegfried & roy attacked. >> officials are reporting that horn was attacked in the throat by one of those tigers. >> when you came to the hospital, the whole parking lot was filled with network tv vans. >> roy was rushed here just a little after 8:20, and since then friends, family members have being coming out here in front of the hospital, hoping for some good news. >> and they were all giving reports about whether the guy was gonna survive or not. >> clark county fire department says roy is in serious and critical condition. >> he lost a huge amount of blood after that attack by the tiger on stage. >> that night in the hospital, the doctors gave you a really grim prognosis. >> oh, yes. for some reason, i always

thought somehow we are gonna pull it through. >> it was numbing. it was devastating. >> roy's life hangs by a thread. >> it's life or death. his heart wasn't working.>> he . or died. we lost vital signs on him. >> and now the future of siegfried & roy and the future of roy's life hangs in the balance.

love all over. >> we are here tonight for siegfried & roy. >> hundreds of people standing in front of the hospital with candles and singing and praying. >> siegfried & roy were beloved in vegas. so there was just this outpouring of love and concern, people just turning out, writing messages of support. ♪ >> the next morning, he comes to the hospital with this music that he and roy had used on stage before, and he plays it. and he sees a tear running down roy's face, and he says at that moment, he knew that roy was going to survive. >> right after the accident happens, the usda steps in

and launches a massive investigation. they interviewed dozens of witnesses, because there were many of them sitting just feet from the stage when this happened. >> you have said that roy was not attacked. >> exactly. >> by mantecore. >> no, it was an accident. >> siegfried & roy both believe that roy had some kind of incident, a small stroke in the show, at that moment, and fell down, and animal instincts took over and he got up and straddled roy, leaned over and picked him up the way he would pick up a cub. >> and then he picked me up and pulled me to the other side of the stage for my safety. >> you really firmly believe that mantecore saved your life? >> yeah, absolutely. >> and that he saved your life because you think you were already having a stroke? >> yeah. >> even though doctors aren't sure if the stroke happened happened before? >> yeah. >> that is not what chris

lawrence claims happened, and chris was right there. >> chris lawrence was an animal handler who had worked for siegfried & roy back in the '90s, by all accounts a good animal handler. >> well, the night of the accident, chris lawrence was working. he was in the wings of the stage watching. he says that mantecore missed his mark. roy then tried to redirect him not by walking him in a circle as is traditionally done, and that mantecore got confused. mantecore lunged or moved toward roy, and roy slipped and fell. chris says that mantecore attacked roy. >> chris lawrence went public speaking out about his version of events. he went on "inside edition." >> mantecore leapt at roy and swedt his legs and took him

chris. he had in his life all these problems. you know what i mean? >> that animal was behaving as a tiger typically behaves. i feel like the semantics between the word attack and accident, incident -- those are language discussions more than tiger bite discussions. everybody who works in this business, eventually, the tiger will try to attack you. >> ow! >> but that tond and that experience with that animal is far more valuable to us than the fear of what might possibly happen. >> and i love you too. give me a nice smile. givenice smile. yeah.ext happen every day.

little tour and check it out. >> siegfried & roy's secret garden is a habitat at the mirage where you can pay a ticket, go through a turnstile, and do a walking tour with all the white tigers. >> they don't consider it a zoo, it's kind of an oasis on vegas strip, where a lot of their animals are now living since the show ended. >> we have 20 big cats, and the people that come here can see the white tigers who are extinct in the wild. so this is actually the only place where you can witness white tigers, that close up. >> today siegfried & roy obviously enjoy the quietness. they're still very involved with conservation, preservation, education. >> look, it took mother nature centuries to create what she created.

she wove her magic, who we have the privilege to see now. >> i think the perception of the white tiger came from magic shows. they made the pure white cats some sort of mythical, magical thing that people became absolutely fascinated with. >> i can understand why siegfried & roy would like to rebrand the white tiger as the royal white tiger, because it does sort of create this mystery around them. >> but there are no royal white tigers. >> the white tiger is not a separate species. it's actually a genetic mutation of a gene. >> 1 in 10,000 regular tigers are born with this genetic mutation that gives them this white fur and this blue eyes. but they're not a separate creature. it's just a tiger that happens

to be white. >> white tigers really, for the most part, are bred because of how they look. it's all about that striking appearance. >> these are inbred animals that all come back to one animal, the first white tiger that was captive. >> remember mohan, that first white tiger that was captured in india? all of these tigers and these little cubs trace back to him. >> mohan was bred back to his daughter to try to produce this white tiger. so that's where the inbreeding came about. >> so, unfortunately because there's been so much inbreeding, there's a lot of problems with the tigers that you now see today in captivity. so, ranging from crooked backs to club feet, internal problems,

kidney problems. >> there have been no reports of genetic abnormalities with siegfried & roy's white tigers. in fact, they say they practiced conscientious breeding to avoid mating tigers that are closely related. and they say they stopped breeding tigers back in 2015. >> hello, baby. you're not going to get in the pool? >> turpentine creek animal sanctuary has rescued dozens of cats from all over the country. and here you can see what can sometimes happen when white tigers are inbred. >> one who's kind of famous, kenny, that we rescued in back in 2000, he was deformed in the face. a lot of them are very visibly cross-eyed. education is key.

it's definitely looked down upon now, the breeding of white tigers. >> in an effort to limit inbreeding, in 2011, the aza, or the american zoological association, banned its member zoos from breeding white tigers. remember, the secret garden is not a zoo, it's not a member of the aza. a few years ago, the american zoological association banned breeding animals like this to get a white tiger, a white lion. what do you think of this ban? they say that is bad for the animals. >> of course they say it is not good to be -- >> to be bred strictly for those traits. >> they say it's not right to have animals in a confined area.
