Don't you have fingers and the ability to type?  All you need to do is type in Google "Orca attacks on humans".

Being part Vulcan. He's too busy with his new job a a marine social worker doing mind melds with the Orca at Sea World and listening to their problems.

Dont listen to them Rich. If they intelligent enough to communicate. They are intelligent enough to lie about their conditions. My other Vulcan friend tells me they are notorious mackerel addicts and will do and say anything to get their fix.

Do you have a brain and can you list the attacks on humans by wild Orca's?

There are few recorded cases of wild orcas threatening humans.[2][7]
Point Sur, seen from the north on Highway 1

    In the 1910s, the Terra Nova Expedition recorded that killer whales had attempted to tip ice floes on which an expedition photographer and a sled dog team were standing.[8]
    On June 15, 1972, the hull of the 43-foot-long (13 m) wooden schooner Lucette (Lucy) was stove in by a pod of killer whales and sank approximately 200 miles west of the Galapagos Islands. The group of six people aboard escaped to an inflatable life raft and a solid-hull dinghy.[9]
    On September 9, 1972,[10] a Californian surfer named Hans Kretschmer reported being bitten by a killer whale at Point Sur; most maintain that this remains the only fairly well-documented instance of a wild orca biting a human.[11][12] His wounds required 100 stitches.[12]
    In August 2005, while swimming in four feet of water in Helm Bay, near Ketchikan, Alaska, a 12-year-old boy named Ellis Miller was "bumped" in the shoulder by a 25-foot transient killer whale.[11][13] The boy was not bitten or injured in any way. The bay is frequented by harbor seals, and it is possible that the whale misidentified him as prey.[13]
    During the filming of the third episode of the BBC documentary Frozen Planet (2011), a group of orcas were filmed trying to "wave wash"[14] the film crew's 18-foot zodiac boat as they were filming. The crew had earlier taped the group hunting seals in the same fashion. It was not mentioned if any of the crew were hurt in the encounter.[15] The crew described the orcas as being very tolerant of the film makers' presence. Over the course of 14 days they filmed over 20 different attacks on seals, many of which the film's series producer Vanessa Berlowitz describe as training exercises for the young calves in the group.[16][17]
    On February 10, 2014, a free diver in Horahora Estuary near Whangarei, New Zealand was pulled down for over 40 seconds by a killer whale that grabbed a bag containing crayfish and urchins, which was attached to his arm by a rope. The rope eventually came free. He then undid his weight belt and returned to the surface with his last breath. He had lost all feeling in his arm and could no longer swim, but his cousin was nearby and helped him float to some rocks where the feeling in his arm returned.

Fact. While it is rare. Even in captivity. Attacks by Orca on humans have happened

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_whale_attacks_on_humans

A far cry from the "never" claim of
In the wild they have never attacked a human but in captivity they have attacked humans nearly two dozen times.

Not sure if this is on topic with the thread but......

We were out Shark fishing today and had  ( what we guessed) was a 12/13 ft white shark come into our chum line........amazing creatures. After watching it for about an hr we decided to leave the area lest we get one on the gear.

Let me see if I got their right.

You were out chumming fishing for sharks. And when a shark actually showed up. You decided to leave instead of fish for it?

Yes, they pulled lines so they didn't leave a huge and unlandable shark with gear hanging off his mouth.

Yes

 We were out catching and tagging Blue Sharks, Thresher Sharks and Makos as part of the NOAA Cooperative Shark Tagging Program.  Given the white sharks conservation status (vulnerable headed to endangered) we do our best to make sure none of them get in any of our gear. While Threshers (all 3 species) and Makos are also listed as vulnerable.....they are still considered a game fish, (White sharks are not) and the NOAA uses the data to help study migration patterns and develop size limits for fishermen. Last ur we caught an 11ft Scalloped Hammerhead. It was released unharmed. Cool thing is we will get Notification if one of the sharks we tag are caught (if the tag is reported)  We had a Blue that we tagged 10yrs ago off Brielle NJ that was caught and released last year) down in the Gulf of Mexico off Costa Rico.

We do it 3 times a year, and I've been doing it for 16yrs. Great fun actually.  All are released unharmed, and the hooks we use rust out in a month or two.  It's a way that us fisherman can give back, it's strictly a volunteer program but some of the most tiring work out there.  Trust me after reeling in your 6th Blue shark of the day, your arms are about numb.

Anyone see Shark Week last night?  The "Bride of Jaws" episode featured a quick clip showing a small pod of 3 Killer Whales coming in and mowing a large Great White in a show of dominance in a feeding area.

Apparently the entire crew of several boats saw it, and got excellent footage which they for some reason DIDN'T SHARE on the program.  Considering it's only one of a few times this behavior has been seen, and certainly the first to get really good as it happened footage from several cams and angles, hopefully they will someday release it in another program.  From the Facebook posts about it, apparently the two larger adult orcas did the old flip the white shark over and immobilize/drown it trick, then let it go briefly to let the younger orca practice doing the same.  Interesting stuff, I'd really like to see it.
