Today at 12:30...Part of Dubai Mall was evacuated after the Dubai Aquarium began to leak. A spokesman for Dubai Mall said: “A leakage was noticed at one of the panel joints of the Dubai Aquarium at The Dubai Mall and was immediately fixed by the aquarium’s maintenance team. The leakage did not impact the aquarium environment or the safety of the aquatic animals. The Dubai Aquarium works with international experts in aquarium management and upholds the highest safety standards in its management.” The aquarium at Dubai Mall boasts one of the largest tanks in the world, which has the capacity to hold 10 million litres of water. The front viewing glass is the world’s largest aquarium window, and according to the Dubai Mall website the tank homes more than 33,000 living animals, representing more than 85 species including over 400 sharks and rays combined.
Never dull in Dubai...first the elevators, to the observation deck, get stuck in the Burj Khalifa a week or so ago and now a leak at the aquarium!! I'm sure we'll be hitting the statewide news again soon!! The first photo is the one from today!!
