911 Calls From SeaWorld Attack Released
ORLANDO, Fla. -Officials have released recordings of the 911 calls made after a SeaWorld Orlando trainer was pulled into water by a killer whale last week.
The 911 recordings released Thursday show an increasing awareness of the seriousness of the situation with each call.
In the first call, a SeaWorld worker reports to the 911 dispatcher that a trainer has been pulled into the water by the killer whale. In the second call, she tells the dispatcher that a defibrillator has been pulled out of its box for the trainer. In the next call, she tells the dispatcher to send the emergency technicians inside the park.
Officials say the 12,000-pound whale killed 40-year-old Dawn Brancheau after a performance last week.
