B!oody hell! That's awfull! The bridge should have been tested to take the weight of several elephants, especially over a shark tank, not to collapse with people on it. :rolleyes:

Heard this on the radio this morning on my way to work - nothing like a little adrenalin rush - probably all the scrapes and cuts were due to panic - ha.
Well, they'll all have a good story to tell, I just hope someone doesn't lose their job over it since no one was hurt.

Hey IiGav nice post seems like Im never at the aquarium when the cool stuff happens. Anyway there probably wont be anybody fired over this b/c most of the employees are volunteers with the Audubon Institute. Some might be asked to leave. Anyway there is another place in the Aquarium where quests are invited to look in the same tank while standing on a huge plate glass disk i hope they check that one too!

Only funny if they have a very large sign that says:
"Don't Feed the Sharks"
