That's what comes from not extending the TFR to cover Seaworld!

(Sorry about the casualty, though. At least he died doing what he loved!)

Ok, I bit. But someone already beat me to the obvious joke

Obvious case of lax air controllers covering Orlando.

This does suck for the animals, trainers, and everyone that was at the show, but that headline is just asking for jokes to be made.

Was a flight plan filed ?

If Transponders were installed on both Dolphins the Center would have been able to issue a traffic alert. Watch for the NTSB demanding mandatory Transponder/ADS-B installs on low-flying sea mammals.....

My favorite comment:

To everyone complaining that Sea World is negligent, and treating the dolphins poorly, just remember it was a freak accident. They didn't do it on porpoise.

The LAX Controller one was pretty good too.

Well, that's what will happen if you try low aerobatics without the proper FAA waiver!
