Killer Whale’s Message to SeaWorld Captured on Camera

Killer whale Kasatka nearly drowns train Ken Peters at SeaWorld-San Diego.

by Barbara J. King

On July 24, video of a 5,000-pound killer whale nearly drowning her trainer came to public light via the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act). The 15-minute clip filmed at SeaWorld-San Diego in 2006 shows killer whale Kasatka dragging her trainer Ken Peters to the bottom of the show tank, then taking him back up to the surface, and back down for a lengthier period.

The images of Peters’ gasping for breath when he breaks the surface, and his incredible calm as tries to quiet Kasatka are ones I won’t easily forget. For the full impact, watch the entire clip; some sense of the ordeal can be gained from three excerpts, at minutes 1:50-2:50, 6-7 and 9-10.

Peters recovered from the incident. Trainer Dawn Brancheau was far less fortunate. Brancheau was killed in 2010 at SeaWorld-Orlando by another killer whale, a 12,000 pound male called Tilikum. Both Kasatka and Tilikum had been aggressive to trainers even before the 2006 and 2010 incidents.

Bernice Gordon has been a long time fan of the father-son relationship between Batman and Robin, and so created this marvelous set of depictions in the style of a children’s storybook.

Science of the Physical Pain Associated with Heartbreak

You lose a part of yourself when connections are lost, and its not far-fetched to say that you feel completely empty inside. There’s an ache, a deep ache that erupts from the inside of our bodies longing for the past. The pain is real and there’s no other way to describe how bad it really hurts than to name it heartbreak.

When a person feels secluded or feels loss, changes in the brain’s blood flow occur. The anterior cingulate cortex (responsible for regulating physical pain distress) becomes more active during these times, causing the physical pain associated with heartbreak. (via)
