Imagine the biggest indoor Aquarium in the world is breaking and you are in the Mall where it is located? A horrible thought, right? Today at around 12.30 in the afternoon the Dubai Mall had to be evacuated after a leak was found in the Dubai Mall Aquarium, one of the biggest indoor Aquariums in the world. The Dubai Mall Aquarium contains thousands of fishes and sea animals.
“There was a small problem, a simple crack, and the water leaked,” a police official said, declining to be named.
“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,” said a spokeswoman for Emaar Properties, which operates the mall. “The leakage did not impact the aquarium environment or the safety of the aquatic animals,” she added in a statement.
Emaar’s chairman Mohammed Alabbar had earlier been quoted as denying there was a leak in the aquarium, saying there was a “technical fault in the operating device”, according to a statement carried on the official news agency WAM.
The Dubai Mall Aquarium has the world’s largest viewing panel at 32.8 meters (107 ft 7 in) wide and 8.3 meters high. The aquarium was designed to hold more than 33,000 living animals, representing more than 85 species, including over 400 sharks and rays combined.
Now see the video and the photo and decide for yourself if this can still be called “small leak”? Scary scary, what do you think? Is it safe to do your shopping in Dubai Mall? Are you scared to go to Dubai Mall now?
terlalu besar kapasitas air sehingga tekanan gaya berat masa air secara diam maupun kinetik dari profil gelombang oleh aliran sirkulasi maupun beban dinamik secara keseluruhan harus benar benar diketahui secara detail dan diperlukan netralisasi gaya berat maupun tekan di beberapa titik disamping potensi kebocoran seperti terlihat pada kejadian tersebut ……. sedang populasi kepadatan 33000 dengan 85 species untuk ukuran volume hanya ruang air 32,8m x 8,3m wah itu sangat padat dan tidak ideal secara alami
Translation from Indonesian via Google Translate:
water capacity is too large so that the gravity pressure of the water in silence and kinetic of the wave profile by the flow of circulation and the overall dynamic load should be really known in detail and required neutralization of gravity and press at some point in addition to the potential for leakage as seen in the incident. …… population density was 33,000 with 85 species to measure the volume of air space is only 32.8 m x 8.3 m was very solid well and not ideal natural
