Whale kills SeaWorld trainer during Orlando show

A killer whale has killed a 40-year-old female trainer at the SeaWorld marine park in Orlando, Florida.

Officials described the incident as an accident, saying the woman fell in the water, although eyewitnesses said the whale jumped up and grabbed her waist.



Guests were evacuated while fire crews tried to rescue the woman, but they were unable to revive her, company president Dan Brown confirmed.

Whale trainers at SeaWorld parks were also attacked in 2006 and 2004.
