BERLIN (Reuters) – A big aquarium burst in a leisure complex early Friday, prompting a serious response with 100 firefighters on the scene, emergency services said.
“The aquarium is broken, water is leaking. The situation shouldn’t be clear in the mean time,” the Berlin fire brigade wrote on Twitter.
The German capital’s traffic information agency VIZ said there was a particularly large volume of water on the road outside.
The Dom Aquaree, positioned beside a Radisson hotel in a busy tourist area of the Mitte district, is home to the world’s largest free-standing cylindrical aquarium at 14 metres in height with 1,500 fish, in line with its website.
