A large, 33.5-ton aquarium has burst at shopping centre in Shanghai, China, leaving 15 people injured.

Passers-by were injured when the glass front of the seven metre-long, three metre-high aquarium, which was home to a number of sharks, burst.

Eight of the injured were believed to be customers while the rest were shop assistants and security staff, with most injured by shards of thick security glass.

The aquarium was only built about two years ago, and has been an attraction for visitors, who flocked to watch divers feed the sharks.

According to Rex Features, a vendor selling shoes outside the shopping centre said, "It was horrible, like a bomb explosion. Some pedestrians were pushed two metres away by the force of the water."

Unfortunately, three lemon sharks and dozens of smaller fish and turtles died in the incident, which left the entrance to the Dongfang shopping mall flooded and covered in glass.

Local police said the cause of the accident is under investigation.

its a well known fact all over the world that chinese made goods dont meet the quality standards. for years , the world has been producing realiable goods. then came the chinese after the so called 'economic reforms', which benifits them only. they mass produce shit goods at extremely low prices...but these products tean to wear off after a month or two if ur lucky. these shows their character , but undeniably, jah rastafar aka prc cock sucking dog would still beg to differ.

Engineers miscalculate the force within the tank,
with thousands of gallons of water just imagine the force
inside the tank.

Ah Tiong boleh!! but tank tak boleh!

When China start building aircraft to compete with Boeing and Airbus, we should be worried. Very worried.
