[edit] The event
[edit] The build-up
Prior to the incident, Peter Ludlow hired a group of hunters to assist in the capture of all the dinosaurs of Isla Sorna to be taken to the Jurassic Park in San Diego. The hunters were led by Roland Tembo, his best friend Ajay Sidhu, and the ruthless Dieter Stark.
Ludlow only managed to contain a T-rex and decided to bring it to the mainland.
[edit] The S.S. Venture
The captured T-rex was placed on a cargo ship named the S.S. Venture. Ludlow arrived at San Diego and held a press conference as the boat arrived. Ludlow's expression changed from glee to fear as the boat didn't slow down. The boat eventually crashed into the dock.
Ludlow and an off-duty police officer named Berner boarded the ship. Ludlow asked him where the crew was in which Berner replied, "all over the place". Ludlow checked for himself to see pieces of the crew ripped to shreds.
[edit] The T-rex's escape
Meanwhile, Ian Malcolm and Sarah Harding had been trying to get on board because they knew where the infant T-rex was, but were being stopped by another off-duty officer named Jerry.
Jerry then foolishly opened the cargo hold and the T-Rex broke free. Malcolm and Harding ran because they knew the T-rex would follow. The T-rex crashed through the boat and onto the streets of San Diego. This caused many deaths of civilians and InGen workers.
[edit] Aftermath
As a result of the incident, the male Tyrannosaur was safely returned to Isla Sorna with it's infant. John Hammond and the United Nations turned the island into a preserve. No humans were allowed to legally travel to the island. Alan Grant reveals in Jurassic Park III, that he was aware of the incident, but did not witness it.
[edit] Trivia
The incident was used as a bonus level in the video game Chaos Island: The Lost World, where players play as the T-rex. The players' mission is to make his/her way to the freighter where the infant is located, while battling hunters throughout the city.
