Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The appeal of the aquarium means you see the wonders of the ocean, without any of the danger. Or at least in most cases...

Onlookers at the Orient shopping centre in Shanghai were extremely unlucky when a glass wall cracked, pouring out the contents of the aquarium.

Three lemon sharks, several turtles and small fish were sadly killed in the incident, and sixteen people are said to be injured.

In 2010, a 2.6m-gallon tank - one of the of the largest in the world - also cracked in Dubai.

A true horror moment for selachaphobiacs and ichthyophobiacs.
