The internet has been flooded with the Berlin aquarium video since Friday. Social media posts with pictures and videos displayed glass fragments throughout the lobby’s furnishings and broken windows.

According to police and firefighters, a 25-meter-high aquarium in a hotel in the heart of Berlin has broken, forcing the closing of a nearby roadway due to the leaking water.

The Raddison Collection Hotel was home to the 1,500 fish-filled aquaria, all of which perished.

The aquarium of the Aquadom Berlin, which is housed in the Radisson Collection Hotel in Berlin, collapsed Friday morning at about 6.30 am CET, a representative for the hotel told Euronews in a statement.

In addition to huge maritime damage, Berlin police reported that the explosion left two persons with glass shard injuries.

According to authorities, a massive aquarium in Berlin erupted on Friday morning, flooding a hotel and spilling a million liters of water into the street.

The building, which also houses a hotel and eateries, had glass and other debris cleared away.

According to local authorities, a giant aquarium inside a hotel in Berlin exploded, injuring at least two people as 1,500 tropical fish and “vast amounts of water” leaked onto the sidewalk and severely damaged the lobby.

At the site, where two persons were hurt by glass fragments that fell from a 50-foot-tall cylindrical tank within the lobby of the Radisson Collection Hotel in the heart of Berlin, local police said that some 100 emergency reaction officers had been dispatched.

Franziska Giffey, the mayor of Berlin, told reporters that the break occurred at 5:45 am local time and that the hotel was fortunate to escape “severe human damage.”

Giffey stated that while efforts were being made to save several hundred smaller fish that had been kept in separate aquariums below the hotel lobby, none of the 1,500 fish were saved.

According to hotel visitors, the explosion caused “complete damage.”

Although Stralau stated that the incident’s cause was still under investigation, there was speculation that the freezing temperatures may have caused the leak.

Witness Gwendolin Szyszkowitz stated to the German television channel n-tv that she initially believed a bomb had burst when she heard a tremendous noise.

Although the blast had caused a true tsunami of water, according to Mayor Franziska Giffey, the early morning timing had kept many more people from getting hurt.

‘We were still quite fortunate,’ she continued, ‘despite all the destruction. If the aquarium had exploded even an hour later when more people would have been awake and around the hotel and the surrounding neighborhood, she claimed, “we would have had tremendous human harm.’

The 10-minute elevator trip through the tank was one of the attraction’s highlights.

According to the German news agency DW News, all 400 hotel guests have been moved to other hotels in the city and are awaiting transportation. This morning, Berlin’s temperature was below 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

A hotel representative told EuroNews that the establishment had been shut down until further notice.
