Hope ya'll mod xboxes better than ya build aquariums.... hehehe
An Australian woman is suing Sydney Aquarium after a giant exhibition tank exploded, showering her with glass - and sharks.
The accident left Hazel Swinden, 61, in chest-high water with a badly gashed ankle caused by flying debris.
She claims to have suffered post-traumatic stress as a result.
One moment Ms Swinden was admiring the reef sharks at Sydney Aquarium and the next she was surrounded by them with blood pouring from a deep cut.
A glass tank had shattered, dumping thousands of litres of water on top of her.
The woman's lawyer has told a Sydney court how she was submerged for several seconds and could feel the sharks brushing past her.
She claims that acute stress forced her to give up her job as a sales assistant.
The drama took place several years ago but has only now reached court, where the victim is seeking unspecified damages. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th
