    Default Shocking moment 33-ton shark tank bursts in shopping center

    This is the shocking moment a 33-ton glass shark tank suddenly burst leaving 15 people injured by flying shards of broken glass and a torrent of water.
    The tank was an attraction at the entrance to the Shanghai Orient shopping centre in China's second city when it shattered without warning on December 19.
    Eight of those hurt were customers and the rest were shop assistants and security staff. They mostly suffered deep cuts and bruises from sheets of broken glass.

    Yeah... I missed the "tank" part when I read the title.

    I was disappointed and relieved at the same time, when I clicked the link.

    I actually had higher expectations from the "tank" part... also disappointed.
