At least two people were injured when a massive aquarium inside a hotel in Berlin burst, as roughly 1,500 tropical fish and massive amounts of water spilled out of a 264,000 gallon tank, leaking onto the street and damaging the lobby.
There were 1,500 fish in the hotel lobby when the AquaDom aquarium burst.
Two people were injured when shards of glass fell from a 50-foot tall cylindrical tank in the lobby of a hotel in Berlin.
The Mayor of Berlin said that the hotel was lucky to avoid a lot of damage because of the break.
Several hundred smaller fish that were kept in separate aquariums below the hotel lobby were not saved.
The lobby was littered with shards of glass, where furniture and windows were destroyed.
The hotel guests said the burst left a lot of damage.
The temperature in Berlin this morning was below 20 degrees, so all 400 people who had been staying at the hotel have been evacuated and are waiting for a new place to stay.
A hotel spokesman told EuroNews that the hotel was closed.
The world's biggest cylindrical fish tank, called AquaDom, was home to more than 1,500 tropical fish and more than 100 unique species. Sea Life Berlin said it was shocked and looking into what happened.
