SAN FRANCISCO <NO1>(AP)<NO>— A tiger escaped its cage at the San Francisco Zoo on Tuesday, killing one person and injuring
two others, a newspaper reported.<QA>
The tiger was shot, San Francisco Fire Department spokesman Lt. Ken Smith told the San Francisco Chronicle. It was not
immediately clear how the tiger escaped.<QA>
The zoo, which had been scheduled to close at 5 p.m. PST, was evacuated.<QA>
It was unclear whether the victim was a visitor or a zoo worker.<QA>
Police officers and firefighters are investigating.<QA>
Officials at first worried that four tigers had escaped, but only one escaped its pen, Smith said.<QA>
Last December, one of the zoo’s tigers mauled a zookeeper during a regular public feeding. The 350-pound animal reached
through the cage’s iron bars and badly lacerated her arm. The zoo’s Lion House was temporarily closed during an
investigation.<NO1><QL>

An escaped tiger kills a zoo patron in a cafe

Wow, who would expect their day to end that way?

 

[AreaMan]

Tiger 1: So how did the human taste?
Tiger 2: Grrrrreeeeeaaaaat!

Imagine being one of the two who were injured but not killed? Now THAT's a helluva story to tell people. If you can't get laid after telling your story of survival after getting mauled by an 800-pound tiger, well, you've problems.

How long until a lawsuit is filed?

There had to be negligence of some sort for this animal to escape into a common area.

Not only that, but she was still on display after having attacked a keeper last year.

As soon as the offices open tomorrow, I'm guessing.

Chronicle story said the state has already found the zoo was at fault for that attack because of the way the cage was configured. This is gonna get ugly.

And it deserves to get ugly. No one had to die.

Die. On Christmas. At a zoo.

Christ.

Do you think the tiger said, "Don't you know who I am?" before the attack?

Agreed. Human and tiger both.

The zoo might as well shut down right now and file for bankruptcy. It'll end up losing less.

I'm thinking the total award will be nine figures, easy.
