WTF!

I love some of the comments on that story (some funny, some sobering).  I even went to the original story on TMZ and read that.  Here's my favourite comment, though:

One might wonder why a shark tank is right next to a water slide in a resort where large amounts of alcohol are consumed.

Seriously, no one thought their sharks could jump out of their tanks?  They need to spend more time reading Wikipedia!

The blacktip is one of only a few sharks that can jump fully out of the water, a behaviour called breaching. They have also been observed surfacing to look around (spy-hopping).

Here's some pictures of that slide...  You actually start above the open tank and then the slide goes through the tank.  See the sharks swimming around?



Here's the slide going through the tank:



Apparently there's also a slow tube ride that goes through the shark tank...

That does explain how it got in there...
