"The problem is not the blowhole, the problem is people not respecting the power of nature" That's a very wise quote right there. We can't babyproof the whole world and disrupt nature in the process. RIP to Daniel but this was entirely his fault for his poor judgement and ignorance of the warning signs. People need to realize they're not invincible and learn that nature can be unpredictable and can kill you in an instant, and for that reason it deserves our utmost respect. You're not above the natural order, it will chew you up and spit you out if you don't respect it. Props to the locals for standing up for their landmark and not letting a grate ruin it's natural beauty.

There were no signs or fences, but anyone with a functioning head on their shoulders could see that you have to be very carefull .

As a Native Hawaiian, my best advice to tourist would be just because you see locals doing something, doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to do it too. BUT if you don’t see any locals doing something, it’s in your best interest to follow our example. Hālona Blowhole is along the strongest current in all of Hawaii, the Kaʻiwi Channel, and is next to Sandy’s Beach, known for having the most broken neck and back injuries in the nation! You will see many of us locals (born and raised in these waters) surfing/bodysurfing at Sandy’s, but unless you have experience, do NOT go in! However, you will not catch locals near the blowhole period! For what reason anyway? That in itself should say something. But if you decide to break past the barriers of places you shouldn’t be and end up hurt or worse, do NOT come here and try to shutdown these places because YOU fucked up as a VISITOR 💯. Next time come correct with respect for the places you’re visiting or no come at all.

@@proud-momblackfish is about the trainer death and Tilikum’s life in general. They only briefly mention David’s incident. SeaWorld Orlando has people observing the orcas for 22 out of 24 hrs a day (source: I applied for the internship) but it’s very possible someone could try to sneak in and climb into the tank, especially after Free Willy showed the kid falling in the tank after-hours and the whale saving him, and gave people a false sense of safety.

You're damn right they did not "punish" Tilikum for Daniel's death. They knew who was at fault. My heart breaks for Tilikum's tragic life. Daniel's death was, of course, Daniel's fault for going in there, but the larger picture is that it was just the fault of people. The blame for all of the deaths related to Tilikum belongs to human beings. One hundred percent. You do not take a free-ranging apex predator who roams the oceans, rip them away from their tight-knit families as they did to Tilikum when he was just two, make him live in a bathtub, force him to perform tricks only to entertain people, and then wonder what went wrong. The captive horror that they thrust upon Tilikum for 34 years completely devastated his emotional and physical health. You could not possibly be crueler to an orca than by doing exactly what they did to Tilikum.

They walked on the rocks from sandys beach and a big wave hit them (, it wasn't the blow hole ). so this wave hit him and pushed him into the lava cove that naturally formed and he went under the water and disappeared. They found him 1/4 mile out . Made a stupid mistake and was only 18.i think like 7 other people have died there.. you don't access the blow hole from the fence because that's on top.of the mountain, people usually enter from sandys beach where there is no fence.

All I had to hear was the name Tillikum and I already knew that things did not end well for Daniel. I saw this orca at Sea World in Florida in 2010. He was isolated in a tank alone at the time. If I’m not mistaken, that was the same year that he killed that trainer. If you have ever been to sea world in Florida you know that there is an observation window that is built into this simulated cave that will allow you to look into the tank below surface level, and see any killer whales in that tank. Tillikum was just swimming around and around in the tank as if he was pacing back-and-forth in a jail cell. He would slowly swim right past the observation window, and I swear on my soul, I could see rage in that animal’s eyes. My wife had been hitting the glass and jumping around like she was trying to taunt him, and I told her to stop. The look in Tillikum’s eyes told it all. He knew what he had done and that this tank was his punishment. Solitary confinement will drive any social animal insane, including humans. I truly believe that he had snapped and was furious for his confinement. The look in the eyes of a gigantic, perfect killing machine that could think, was bone chilling. He was an absolute killer.

I can understand Daniel’s parents wanting a metal grid for the blowhole . However , it wasn’t an accident , Daniel purposely climbed over and put himself over the Blowhole . He wasn’t satisfied in feeling the pressure hitting him in the chest once (which was odd) but he did it again . Maybe he wanted to impress the girls . I agree with the locals he didn’t respect nature . He also didn’t respect and appreciate his life . It’s a reckless way to die . RIP Daniel 🙏🌺❤️🌸.

I hope this gets pinned: the orca story is even worse than mentioned. Til was an Orca that made national news. There's documentaries about him and SeaWorld. Til was an abused, neglected Orca that wasn't even allowed to stay with the other orca's because they bullied (hurt) him. Til later on killed one of his trainers. He was the poster child for the absolute abuse that orcas went trough in seaworld. And one of the reasons SeaWorld had to stop doing orca shows. Its just a heartbreaking story. But the dude going into the pool... Should've chosen turtles or something. Idiot. He just made it worse for the Orca
