he was blamed for the death of a man who had apparently stayed in the park after closing.
Shouldn't that be jumped in the tank?
OR the whale jumped out of the tank, hunted the man down and killed him. 
First is a trainer who managed to escape. Second is a trainer who was killed. Who came up with the idea keeping these type of creatures as show pets was a good idea?

SAN DIEGO, California (CNN) -- A killer whale at the Sea World theme park grabbed a trainer by the foot and held him underwater during a show Wednesday.
The trainer escaped and was in good condition later, park officials said.
Kasatka, a 30-year-old killer whale who is a veteran of many performances, grabbed the trainer and pulled him underwater, said Mike Scarpuzzi, head trainer at Sea World.
====================
MIAMI (AFP) ? A 40-year-old female trainer was killed Wednesday in an apparent attack by a killer whale at Florida's SeaWorld, police and the park manager said. "She apparently slipped or fell... and was fatally injured by one of the whales," he said. "This appears to be an accidental death, it's a tragic death."
The whale, named Tilikum or "friend" in the Native American language Chinook, is among the killer whales, dolphins and seals whose shows have made SeaWorld so popular.
But he has been involved in previous accidents, including the 1991 death of a part-time trainer at the Sealand of the Pacific facility in Canada, according to the Humane Society of the United States.
In 1999, after being shipped from Canada to the Orlando facility, he was blamed for the death of a man who had apparently stayed in the park after closing.
