The platform they were standing on is used by keepers to feed the sharks and is not usually open to the general public, Lee said.

And was not designed to hold up a crowd of people. The aquarium knew this but wanted the extra dollars generated from the private after hours tours. I hope they sue their a$$es off.

I think this is the third story I've read where people were injured during an "after hours" or "private" tour. Buy a ticket like the rest of us and stay behind the ropes.

What are they going to sue for, getting wet?

From what I understand it collapsed just seconds after they were told it would be safe it it did collapse.

I have a fishy feeling someone might have said, "I wonder if this thing could collapse if I shook it. Here, hold muh beer."
