Sharks in a mall as giant fish tank bursts in China

It doesn’t seem so serious at first, but soon the graveness of the situation possesses our eternally jovial minds. The Dongfang shopping mall in Shanghai, China housed a massive fish tank in its central area. The tank was 7 meters wide and 3 meters tall, with a thickness of 10 cm.
