SeaWorld Orlando and family of victim move to block airing of attack video

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

SeaWorld Orlando and the family of a park trainer drowned last month by a killer whale are preparing for a legal battle to prevent video footage of the accident from being aired on television or online. The parties have held talks with Jon Mills, an emeritus dean at the University of Florida's Levin College of Law and a former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, about representing them in efforts to block release of video recordings of the Feb. 24 tragedy, in which a 6-ton orca pulled 40-year-old trainer Dawn Brancheau into its tank and drowned her in front of park guests.
