Killer Whale Kills Trainer - Web Surfers Search For Home Video Of Attack

One of today's top "Google" searches is for the "Killer Whale Kills Trainer" Video Footage, but what some web surfers don't realize is that no such video has yet to surface.

The closest thing online to a the "Killer Whale Attack Video 2010" is a You Tube video of a poor quality video recording of trainer Dawn Brancheu feeding killer whale Tilikum moments before she was dragged into the water by the whale.

"Sea World" announced today that they will be continuing on with the Shamu Whale Shows but that the trainers will no longer be going into the water with the whales.

Animal experts believe that Killer Whale Tilikum believed that he was "playing" with trainer Dawn Brancheu after he felt her ponytail touch his face.

Other animal activists say that Tilikum, the largest Sea World whale, may have attacked his trainer out of anger and frustration at being held captive in such a small and confining tank.

Balloon Boy Story - Richard Heene Believed To Have Planned Hoax

The story of the Heene family, featuring "mad scientist" and "storm chaser" father Richard Heene who allegedly used his young son "Falcon Heene" as part of an elaborate hoax to gain his own reality show, is still going strong as more details are being released to the media.

If the fact that Richard Heene and his wife met while in "acting school" wasn't enough to raise suspicions, the world pretty much guessed that the "balloon chase" was planned when six-year-old Falcon Heene answered a question on "Larry King Live" saying "You guys said we did it for the show."

Now a former colleague of Richard Heene has come forward to reveal that the foil balloon a.k.a. (U.F.O.) being unleashed was something the two had spoken about previously. If you're still not convinced that it's a hoax you might want to listen to the song that Richard Heene had created for his "reality show."

This family has received so much media attention that they actually might end up with their own show, which means sadly enough after all of this, Richard Heene will win.

Balloon Boy Story - Was It All Just a Hoax?

Yesterday, the Heene family caused a great deal of concern as their homemade Mylar balloon took flight and authorities believed that their six-year-old son Falcon Heene was inside as it floated up in the Colorado skies.

A rescue attempt was made by both local and federal authorities who searched the ground on foot and by air determined to find Falcon Heene.

It turns out that Falcon was never in the Mylar balloon but hiding up in the attic of the Heene family home.

The Heene family has been featured on the reality show "Wife Swap" two times. Father, Richard Heene is a meteorologist who chases storms and builds weather devices such as the Mylar balloon.

Because the family has received notoriety from appearing on the "Wife Swap" show some people believe that the mylar balloon being unleashed was a contrived publicity stunt. But Richard Keene says this just isn't true, and the family truly believed that their six-year-old son Falcon was in danger.

Watch the clip of the "Heene family" on "Larry King Live:"

According to a CNN News report authorities believe that the case was genuine.

Here's a "Today Show" clip featuring more on the "Balloon Boy" story:
