OSHA predicted whale would kill, then backed off

(CNN) – Back in 2007, a government safety group in California predicted a whale would eventually kill a trainer at Sea World, but then the agency backed off its warning.

Sadly, that happened last week in Orlando. A 40-year-old veteran Sea World trainer was killed by a giant orca. Hundreds of mourners turned out yesterday in Chicago to say goodbye to Dawn Brancheau.

So, why did the investigators abruptly reverse their warning? Our Randi Kaye has the report.
