The Associated Press: Emotional orca show marks 1st since trainer killed

The Associated Press: Emotional orca show marks 1st since trainer killed: "The audience seemed thrilled, applauding and cheering as the whales zipped around their tank and splashed spectators during the show — with the theme of 'believe,' about a young boy who sees an orca and dreams of one day becoming a whale trainer. It was a fitting tribute to Brancheau, whose family said she always wanted work with the giant whales.
At one point during the show, a young girl was brought on stage and given a whale tail necklace.
'I just wanted to be here for this show. It's so special,' said Russell Thomphsen, 65, who said he is a season-ticket holder for SeaWorld. 'This touches so many lives.'"
