	10 Sharks Killed At Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium
Adam Administrator Posts: 1090 Registered: 25-Jul-2000	Human error is being blamed for the deaths of 10 black-tip reef sharks at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium. Investigators said ozone was accidentally introduced to the shark tank Saturday afternoon. Much like chlorine, ozone is an energized form of oxygen that is used to purify water.

I can see how ozone would be in close enough proximity to the tank to be introduced by accident, if it entered through a mishap with an ozonizer. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I had a friend who had this happen to him once... his guppies were wiped out when he forgot to age the water during a monthly water change... they suffered chlorine poisoning. Like they say, accidents happen...
