Anderson Cooper should ask them the OBVIOUS questions about safety. Whether or not we all agree with having these whales in captivity, or doing these shows, in irrelevent at the moment. 1) why doesn't SeaWorld have safety measures readily available for such an emergency ? i.e. emergency scuba tanks, or an oxygen hose procedure ? to buy more time to deal with a near drowning ? 2) why doesn't SeaWorld have lethal or non-lethal weapons available, for emergencies like this, such as taser shock or real gun, to save the HUMAN ? I don't hear anyone asking for BASIC safety measures!
