The largest free-standing aquarium in the world, burst on Friday morning in Berlin, Germany.
The aquarium, with about 1,500 exotic fish, exploded, flooding public streets with water, debris and dead marine life. None of the 1,500 fish could be saved.
The AquaDom, is located in the Sea Life Center at a Radisson hotel, that includes a museum and several retail shops. The 14-metre-high cylindrical tank held 1 million litres of water and housed 80 different species of fish before the burst.
The tank exploded just before 6am after a night of freezing temperatures. The owners say it is still unclear what triggered the eruption. Police said there is no evidence the tank was tampered with.
