An enormous fish tank in a Berlin hotel lobby burst early on Friday morning, spilling 250,000 gallons (nearly a million litres) of water into nearby streets and likely killing all its 1,500 tropical fish, according to multiple reports.
Officials said it is unclear how the tank burst, but said there was no evidence it was the result of a targeted attack.Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg shows the inside of the lobby littered with debris and large shards of glass in the aftermath of the explosion.
Debris from the collapse was also scattered in the street in front of the building, which was closed due to flooding. Hotel guests were evacuated, DW reported. "There are dead fish. All the furniture is destroyed. The windows are destroyed. Shards everywhere," two hotel guests told the German news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur, DW reported.
