Sea World has brought back the Orca Whale that killed his trainer last year. The whale will be performing today at Sea World. This whale has been involved in three killings. His recent trainer was killed within 13 months, he dragged her by her ponytail and kept her under the water until she drowned. In 1991, he killed another trainer. He also killed a homeless man who snuck  into Sea World after hours.  Sea World officials stated that they have "redesigned the floor of the pool where it is fast rising and they can retrieve a trainer and move a whale if needed." Sea World has been fined $75,000.00 for endangering their employees.

Another Traffic control gets suspended in Florida after a South West airline gets too close to a private plane.  The traffic controller had the pilots get quite close to the private plane where pilots could see passengers sitting in the cockpit of that small plane. The traffic controls asked the pilot to get close because the private plane would not respond to the air towers. The traffic controller was not sure if it was a terrorist plane. This put 137 passengers at risk because of the uncertainties of what the private plane would do.
