"The former boss of a trainer drowned by a killer whale in Orlando says he believes the attack was triggered by the trainer's mistake." I agree. The trainers mistake was forgeting she weighed under 200 lbs. and the Critter weighed over 4000 lbs. and if it decided to thump the trainer then its game over before you can say "Free Willy"...

The ratio was probably 140ish to over 12,000! When you are 1% the size of another creature, a bit of extra caution is in order!

The trainer was probably 125 pounds. Tikikum, a huge bull orca, is 12,500 pounds.
