1. Shark Tank Collapses in Kuwait
You may have seen this image
floating around on Facebook or
another social media – a shark
tank collapsed and released
sharks inside the Scientific Center
in Kuwait, terrifying everyone in
the vicinity.
Think about it… What is your
reaction to this image and story?
Have you seen this on the
Internet already? It looks
authentic, and facts are stated.
How can we know if it’s true or
not?

2. Shark Tank Collapse a HOAX
The shark tank collapse, in fact, never happened. The photo was taken in a
retail facility in Toronto which had flooded with rainwater and sewage. The
photo was altered by Jamie King, who fessed up to the hoax on Twitter.
Images like this one and many, many others are products of a Web 2.0 world
where content is being created by anyone.
It begs the question:
How do we know what
information to trust?
