Dubai Mall Partially Evacuated After Giant Aquarium Leaks
Reuters reports that the Dubai Mall was partly evacuated when the mall's enormous aquarium started leaking. The Sun reports that the aquarium contains over 400 sharks as well as stingrays and numerous other creatures.
Dubai's civil defence department initially confirmed a crack, but mall owner Emaar Properties later played it down.
Chairman Mohammad Alabbar said: "There was a technical fault in the operating device. A leakage was noticed at one of the panel joints...and was immediately fixed by the aquarium's maintenance team.
"The leakage did not impact the aquarium environment or the safety of the aquatic animals."
The leak looks significant in the video here from The Sun. Hopefully, they will be able to patch it and all the sea creatures will be ok. The aquarium is one of the largest in the world.
