This was not long before the 2006 attack on the trainer.
300-500 views per day. It was one of the top honors animal videos when first posted in 2006. The birds get it in the end.

Here's good article on the 2010 fatal attack:

"Witnesses told The Orlando Sentinel that one of the park's whales grabbed the trainer by the upper arm, disappeared underwater and swam to the other side of the tank. Tilikum thrashed Brancheau around in the water as he swam rapidly around in the whale pool."

Glenn Beck jokingly speculated that perhaps it was violence motivated by Tea Party anti-government sentiments, calling the whale "a bus with teeth"
