Dubai's 30-inch Thick Shark Tank Is Leaking; There's a Metaphor In Here Somewhere [Oo

http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets...i_aquarium.jpgThe shark-filled aquarium at the Dubai mall, full of 33,000 sea creatures and 2 million gallons of water, has sprung a leak through its 30-inch acrylic walls. This won't end well!
The leak had people wading out of the mall. A representative for Dubai's civil defense force said they've got the situation under control and are fixing the problem, but I wouldn't want to be the first one back down in that tunnel.
So how long do you think it's going to be until they can't afford to keep up all this ridiculous shit they've built and the entire thing turns into a post-apocalyptic wasteland with lawless bandits scavenging for all of the luxury items no one is around to pay for? Should be exciting! [NY Times]
