i don’t think ‘flooding nearby streets’ describes the horror here. Hundreds (more?) of creatures died.

When I saw this thing for the first time, I thought, "wow what a way to waste money like that. And there probably is a huge amount of pressure on those glass walls and seams."

I know EVERY stupid-big aquarium in the world just had an intense inspection. I'm thinking of one in Las Vegas outside of a Cheesecake Factory.

Hmm. Water pressure at the bottom is 165 psi. Surely they could have designed for that.
