Chaos Ensues After Aquarium EXPLODES In Hotel

On Friday, a huge aquarium in a hotel in the heart of Berlin burst, spilling 264,000 gallons of water, 1,500 fish, and injuring two people.

According to a German official, “material fatigue” is what caused the 46-foot aquarium in Berlin to burst.

Iris Spranger, a top security official in Berlin, told the German media that “first indications point to material fatigue,” according to the authorities.

However, there is still no confirmed reason for the incident.

A representative from Reynolds Polymer Technology, a U.S. business that contributed to the construction of the enormous water tank, has traveled to Germany to conduct an investigation.

Just before 6 a.m. local time, the spill in the Radisson Blu’s lobby sent a wave of debris sweeping through the hotel. Rescue dogs are now searching the area to make sure nobody was buried beneath the debris.

The “AquaDom” tank, which was the largest cylindrical aquarium in the world and contained 80 different species of tropical fish, including blue tang and clownfish, is thought to have killed the majority of those fish.

The Radisson Blu had to order the evacuation of about 300 guests on Friday morning.

The tank was initially constructed in 2003 and modernized in 2020. It has since turned into a popular tourist attraction with a 10-minute elevator ride through it.
