Dubai Mall Aquarium

Despite the fact that the glass is 75 cm thick, whenever I look at the massive and impressive Dubai Mall Aquarium, I can’t stop but think about the enormous destructive force the water would have if the glass breaks. The big news today: The glass cracked! Cleaners were seen mopping the floor while 10 million liters of water leaked out of the enormous tank. If I would have been there, my only thought would have been…. Run like hell!

Still a very impressive aquarium though (when it was still full), housing over 33000 fish of 85 different species. I took this photo last year when it just opened.
