Yesterday was a bad day for companies that like to capture and display ocean life. First there was the horrific death of a Sea World trainer in Orlando:

A veteran animal trainer whose dream was to work at SeaWorld‘s Shamu Stadium was killed Wednesday when one of the show’s killer whales dragged her underwater and she drowned.
SeaWorld said that 12,000-pound Tilikum pulled Dawn Brancheau, 40, into the orca’s tank about 2p.m.
Witnesses told the Orlando Sentinel that the animal suddenly grabbed Brancheau by the upper arm, tossed her around in his mouth and pulled her beneath the water as dozens of tourists looked on in horror.

Then this scene in Dubai, which is eerily reminiscent of Jaws 3D:

Shopper at the Dubai Mall fled in terror fearing that they about to be engulfed by 10 million gallons of water holding 33,000 sea creatures.

Engineers in the Middle East battled yesterday to shore-up a shark-filled aquarium gushing torrents through a crack.

Shopper at the Dubai Mall fled in terror fearing that they about to be engulfed by 10 million gallons of water holding 33,000 sea creatures.

Mall security men donned life jackets and stores were ordered to shut up shop.

But the break in the 30-inch thick acrylic viewing panel managed to hold and prevent a certain disaster.

It’s almost like the ocean dwelling creatures are trying to tell us to stop containing them. I’m just glad my aquarium is fresh water.
