One day after an orca at Sea World in Orlando dragged a female trainer into his tank by her ponytail, causing her death, a crack appeared in a huge aquarium in a Dubai mall filled with hundreds of sharks.

Dubai’s Gulf News reported that witnesses saw water leaking from the mall’s massive fish tank, which holds more than 2 million gallons of water and 33,000 captive sea creatures. According to the Dubai newspaper, “It is believed that a leak occurred in the 270-degree acrylic walk-through tunnel, but it was sealed quickly.”
