VIDEO. A video online is identified as seconds before that Shamu starts killing its trainer. The Shamu killing its trainer video exists, and has been watched by a former SeaWorld employee.

On Friday he told GMA what the Shamu killing trainer video depicts. With that, however, another group of videos are appearing on local news stations, represented as “seconds before” the killer whale killed its trainer.

But those local news clips correct? In fact, if they are seconds before, they do not depict what the former employee told GMA today.

On Friday, GMA interviewed Thad Lacinak about what happened seconds before.

Thad is the former head trainer at SeaWorld. Lacinak added he thought that Brancheau’s mistake caused her death and Brancheau would confirm that if alive.

Thad said he watched a video that shows Brancheau allowing her ponytail to drop into the water in front of the killer whale, prompting him a message to play. At that point the killer whale grabbed Brancheau by her ponytail in his mouth, yanked her into the water, and brought her to her death.

Lacinak says Brancheau would agree to her mistake if alive.

WESH’s video says its “seconds” before the trainer was killed. “A family from New Hampshire visiting SeaWorld Orlando shoots a home video seconds before a whale trainer is killed.”

But how does that compare to the video as described on GMA Friday? In the WESH, the trainer is shown already in the water, above the surface, looking at the camera happy riding around.
