A video claiming to show a marine trainer named Jessica Radcliffe being killed by an orca has gone viral on social media, prompting widespread alarm. The footage appears to depict a violent marine park incident, with a whale attacking a woman during a live performance.
However, fact-checking investigations have confirmed that the event never happened. No official records, news reports or credible sources show that Radcliffe ever existed, and there is no evidence that such an attack took place. Experts say the clip is an AI-generated fabrication, highlighting the speed at which misinformation can spread online and the difficulty of correcting false narratives once they gain traction.
