Insurance claim? LOL man what a mess that had to have been cleaning up!

Ugh...reminds me of the kinda nightmares I'd have when I worked as a water damage restoration technician. Glad I'm not in charge of that remediation!

I know it would have been sad if they died, but that would have made me laugh WAY too hard. Francis and his scientific names...

Thats horrible but at least the fish survived.I'd be suprised if that tank wasnt insured and the area around it considering it is a casino.I have my tank covered under my homeowners but it only covers the replacement of the tank if the house burns.....

And on the second floor of the place horrible ! They said 3000g's were left 10k on the floor..

 

[Young Frankenstein]

What you think the total damage estimate would be like ? 1M ? I would say rewiring 500k new machines 1M ...........etc maybe with business loses 3M

I just caught this press release:

Living Color Enterprises DID NOT Manufacture the Acrylic Cylinder at the Gulfstream Casino Aquarium.

PRESS RELEASE

September 4, 2012

The aquarium leak at the Gulfstream Casino in Hallandale Beach, FL on Sunday September 2nd was a very unfortunate incident.

Living Color Enterprises did not manufacture the Acrylic Cylinder at the Gulfstream Casino Aquarium.

Living Color was involved in the Gulfstream Casino Aquarium and the supplied museum-quality Artificial Coral Reef Décor and sophisticated Filtration System for the aquarium. However, the physical acrylic cylinder was purchased from another manufacturer.

We are unable to comment on the aquariums’ condition prior to the incident because our company was not contracted to maintain the aquarium and our staff have not inspected the tank for several years. Fortunately, we have heard from media reports that all the animals were saved and are doing well.

We have been informed that the acrylic manufacturer has been contacted and will inspect the aquarium this week. We will provide an update as soon as we have further information.

Sincerely,
Mat Roy
President
Living Color Enterprises Inc.
