16 hurt in China aquarium burst

There was no warning. The glass wall of a giant aquarium shatters in an instant at this shopping mall in China. Sixteen people were injured by flying shards of acrylic glass up to 15 centimetres thick. Local media reports said none of the fish, turtles or three lemon sharks inside the tank survived. Shanghai safety officials said initial inquiries suggested cold weather was to blame.
