The world's biggest shopping mall, Dubai Mall, has the world's biggest inside aquarium that can hold up to 10 million litres of water. The tank is 32.8m wide and 8.3m high. Yesterday a crack was found in the meter thick glass! The shopping mall's owner, Emaar Properties, offered a statement saying that this leakage did/does not affect the saftey of the shopping mall or the saftey of the animals inside the aquarium.

Pretty scary.. We sure wouldn't want to be there if the glass breaks and 10 million litres of water comes gushing out!!


This is a picture (that our friend took) of a part of the aquarium, probably close to the crack. We're not really sure what that is, but it looks like some kind of bubble? Haha! Maybe to keep the water that leaks out from running out onto the floor at the shopping mall?

What do you think that "bubble thing" is and what do you think it does?
