SAN DIEGO, Calif. — A workplace safety lawsuit currently ongoing against Sea World prompted the release of this video, which shows an attack from a killer whale on a trainer.

The whale grabs the trainer by the foot and keeps him under water for up to a minute at a time before releasing him 10 minutes after nabbing him. Thankfully for the trainer, he only suffered a broken foot before breaking loose and swimming to safety.
