A huge aquarium in Berlin burst, spilling debris, water and hundreds of tropical fish out of the AquaDom tourist attraction in the heart of the German capital.
Debris lay on the street after a huge fish tank burst at the Seal Life Aquarium in central Berlin, Germany, Dec. 16, 2022.
Mayor Franziska Giffey said the incident had unleashed a “veritable tsunami” of water but the early morning timing had prevented far more injuries.“Despite all the destruction, we were still very lucky,” she said. “We would have had terrible human damage” had the aquarium burst even an hour later, once more people were awake and in the hotel and the surrounding area, she said.
Sea Life’s own aquarium is located in the same building and visitors can tour it and the AquaDom on a single ticket.There was speculation freezing temperatures that got down to minus 10 degrees Celsius overnight caused a crack in the acrylic glass tank, which then exploded under the weight of the water. Police said there was no evidence the incident resulted from a malicious act.
“There are shards everywhere. The furniture, everything has been flooded with water,” she said. “It looks a bit like a war zone.”
