Why it worked
The video likely performed well due to its shocking and tragic subject matter, combined with the inherent public interest in dramatic animal encounters and the cautionary tale of human-animal interactions in captivity.
Summary
This video depicts a tragic incident at SeaWorld where a trainer was pulled into a pool by an orca named Tilikum. The event, which occurred after a routine show, resulted in the trainer's death and was the third human fatality associated with the orca.

Original caption
On February 24, 2010... Veteran SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau was interacting with Tilikum, a 12,000-pound orca, after a "Dine with Shamu" presentation. The interaction appeared routine. But moments later... Tilikum pulled Brancheau into the pool. SeaWorld staff responded immediately... But despite extensive rescue efforts, she did not survive. The incident marked the third human death associated with Tilikum, who had previously been linked to two other fatal incidents. Brancheau's death sparked worldwide debate about keeping orcas in captivity and the safety of close interactions between trainers and large marine mammals. Following the incident... SeaWorld permanently ended in-water performances with orcas, and years later announced the end of its captive orca breeding program.
