This is the terrifying moment a woman trips and falls into a shark tank during feeding time at a shopping centre in China. The sharks circle the unfortunate woman after she dramatically fell, hitting her head on the side before splashing into the suspended tank. Footage shows the woman failing to notice the top of the shark tank is open as she runs across the gangway.
She was saved by two security guards who jumped into the tank and pulled her to safety. The suspended glass-bottom fish tank is home to several baby lemon sharks and is one of main attractions at the Wuyue Plaza shopping complex in Jiaxing city, in east China’s Zhejiang province. According to a spokesman, she was late for a staff meeting before the shopping centre opened to visitors yesterday, and used the gangway as a shortcut.
‘The gangway is off limits during feeding time but the employee was in a rush to get to a meeting,’ the spokesman added. ‘She was quickly rescued from the tank and did not suffer any injuries.’
