A huge aquarium in Berlin burst, spilling more than 250,000 gallons of water, around 1,500 exotic fish and debris onto a major road in the busy Mitte district, emergency services said. Around 100 emergency responders rushed to the site, a leisure complex that houses a Radisson hotel, a museum and what Sea Life Berlin said was the world’s largest freestanding cylindrical aquarium at 46 feet in height. The 1,500 fish from the aquarium died, said a spokesperson for Union Investment, which manages the real estate fund that owns the property. Efforts are underway to rescue fish from several smaller tanks that were near the AquaDom and escaped destruction but have been subjected to power cuts in the building. A spokesperson for the fire brigade told Reuters it was still unclear what had caused the AquaDom aquarium to burst. 🔗 Read more about the burst at our link in bio. #Reuters #news #Berlin #fishtank #AquaDom #burst #fish
