Moments after this image was captured, SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau was snatched into the jaws of the Tilikum, the Orca pictured here, and brutally killed.  

Her body was then thrashed for over 45 minutes while the horrified crowd helplessly looked on.    

As of 2022, There have only been 4 human deaths caused by orcas. Tilikum was responsible for 3 of them.
