RE: [Paddlewise] when orcas attack

It's been a while, but there was a new age nut who wanted to go swimming with the Orcas a long time ago.  He tried slipping into the  one in Canada ( I believe Vancouver??) but was caught and thrown out.  He then went down to Sea World where he stayed after visiting hours were over.  An orca had been isolated due to aggressive behavorial problems,'s but our swimmer did not know that.  He was found the next morning dead with an extremely agitated orca.  

That's what I was told.

This isn't much information to go on.  I think I saw something about
a performer at a SeaWorld show in an "incident' with an orca but that
was a long time ago, I don't remember details, and maybe this orca
had claustrophobia?  :-)

Cheers,

Jackie
