As if the movie Jaws didn’t freak us out enough about the ocean, now we have to worry about aquariums!

In just released video, we see a 33-ton shark tank suddenly explode last Wednesday at the Oriental Shopping Center in Shanghai, China, sending sharks flying into the passersby.

The incident left 15 bystanders injured and three sharks dead.
