A woman present reported that the victim explained to the audience what they were about to see in the show, when the Killer Whale rapidly surfaced and grabbed the woman by the waist and started thrashing her violently.

The whale "took off really fast in the tank, and then he came back, shot up in the air, grabbed the trainer by the waist and started thrashing around, and one of her shoes flew off." said the eye-witness.

A warning siren was deployed and all show attendees were ordered to immediately leave, although the remained of the park remained open.

Orange County Fire personnel arrived within 5 minutes of the attack but the woman was dead upon their arrival.

It is being reported that the Whale Shark that attacked the trainer was named Tillikum, a Killer Whale that has been involved in previous incidents according to reports.

Tillikum, as seen below, is the largest orca whale in captivity weighs in excess of 12,300 pounds and has sired the most amount of offspring of any captive Killer Whale.
