DASM! I'm going to miss it. I was in SD for 10 days and just got back. Don't forget to invite Hambergerpimp, he's from Diego also.
<< Speaking of which, anyone ever heard of that accident where two killer whales died in a show when they rammed against each other in a mid-air collision? >>
I was there; it was not a mid-air collision. They were passing each other underwater, going in opposite directions at a high rate of speed-- and they hit.
From what we understood the male and female had had a little tiff earlier in the day. The trainers speculated that the collision was supposed to be nudge or jostle to the other Orca. Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, the females jaw broke and was forced backwards.
Was one of the saddest moments I ever saw. The Orca came onto the shallow skid pad looking to the trainers for help, lots of blood. Was really sad.
Have fun everyone!
