25th February 2010 - Dubai Aquarium Leak
It was reported today that the massive Dubai Aquarium had sprung a leak, resulting in the evacuation or partial evacuation of the surrounding shopping mall.
This aquarium features the world’s largest viewing panel at 32.8 meters wide and 8.3 meters high, and contains 33,000 fish including sharks and rays in a volme of 10 million liters of water (just over 2 million UK gallons).
The extent of the damage is not clear at this time but the mall is reported to be cordoned off.
I’ve managed to locate a still image and a short video relating to this incident.
