Sixteen people have been hurt after an aquarium burst at a shopping mall in Shanghai.

The thirty-three tonne tank which housed sharks, turtles and fish shattered without warning at the city's Orient shopping centre on 18 December.

That's what you get for using inferior Chinese materials made by slave labor.  Lucky no one was killed.

That's for making some poor animals suffer incarcerated in an aquarium...

The culprit was a customer who was angry about the bad sushi. He escaped and is still at large ...

Gonna need a bigger tank...

"CCTV footage has captured the moment a 33-ton shark tank burst in the middle of a shopping centre.
Shoppers in the mall in Shanghai, China were showered with glass when the aquarium shattered, sending sharks and fishes out. Three sharks and dozens of turtles and small fishes were killed in the incident, while more that 16 people were injured"
It is unknown how the tank broke  (hammerhead?) and police have opened an investigation to find out what happened.

but dont worry, the creatures were sent to a local restaurant who promptly cooked the lot

2 things I don't trust- water tanks, and dams. Both are unpredictable, and not a lot of people know it, especially unsuspecting shoppers in a shopping mall. I really can't wait 'til the Hoover Dam collapses, and people will all be saying "what a tragedy, what a tragedy!" lol yea, that would be some good stuff while I'm sitting comfortably in my living room watching it on tv.
