Like the Intro and outro? I produce them...
SHOPPERS fled in terror today after a giant aquarium filled with 400 SHARKS and stingrays cracked and began gushing torrents of water.
Horrified holidaymakers were among those left fearing that they were about to be engulfed by 10MILLION gallons of water — holding 33,000 sea creatures.

Dramatic video captured people fleeing the Dubai Mall as water poured on to the floor.
Authorities later claimed the problem had been fixed, but were not allowing anyone near to see and anyone with photos of the drama were ordered by cops to delete them.

The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo opened in 2008 at the foot of the Bhurj Khalifa — the world's tallest tower — and is itself one of the biggest aquariums on the planet.

It contains hundreds of sharks from the reef, nurse, sand tiger and leopard families as well as giant stingrays and fish from Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

A break appeared in the tank's walk-through area where visitors to the 1,200-store shopping centre are virtually surrounded by the water.
Chairman Mohammad Alabbar said: "There was a technical fault in the operating device. A leakage was noticed at one of the panel joints...and was immediately fixed by the aquarium's maintenance team.

"The leakage did not impact the aquarium environment or the safety of the aquatic animals."
