Huge Aquarium Bursts In Berlin, Releasing Floods Of Water And Around 1500 Tropical Fish

POSTED IN NEWS ON 16TH DECEMBER 2022

As 264,000 gallons of water gushed out of the 82-foot-high aquarium on Friday morning, glass and other debris were swept out of the structure, which also contains a hotel and cafes.

A huge aquarium in a hotel in Berlin, Germany, that was filled with thousands of tropical fish, has erupted.

In the Radisson Blu's lobby on Friday, December 16, a massive aquarium with a million liters of water broke, wreaking havoc on the hotel and the streets around it.

According to BBC news, the 14-meter-tall AquaDom is the largest free-standing circular fish tank in the world and is home to 1,500 tropical fish from over 100 different species.

Visitors claimed that they heard a loud noise, like a thunderclap, and at first believed that a bomb had gone off since glass and other debris were hurled across the lobby.

The attraction, which debuted in December 2003, is handled by SeaLife, which also manages venues across the world. More than 100 different fish species may be found in the aquarium.

SeaLife announced on its website on Friday that the aquarium, which holds the Guinness World Record for being the largest circular aquarium in the world, was temporarily closed and urged guests to reschedule their tickets.

The aquarium has been severely damaged and there is debris all over the scene. The hotel's lobby has also sustained significant damage, forcing guests to vacate the property.

At least two individuals have been hurt, according to Berlin Police, in the incident that resulted in "incredible maritime damage," per DW News.

Emergency responders were unable to enter the building's ground floor because of the debris there, according to a Berlin fire department official. According to Metro, they also mentioned that rescue dogs were being sent to the location.

Although authorities have stated that the cause of the event is still under investigation, Daily Mail reports that there is speculation that the recent freezing weather led to the leak.

A popular tourist destination in Berlin is the aquarium, which underwent its most recent renovation in 2020. The most well-known feature of the hotel was the 10-minute elevator ride inside the cylindrical tank's center.

Around 350 hotel guests were asked to collect their belongings and evacuate the property as a result of the horrific tragedy.

Buses were rushed to the resort to give shelter for visitors leaving the hotel, albeit Berlin is only approximately -7 degrees, according to Daily Mail.

Additionally, due to the massive amount of water that had burst out of the building, emergency officials had to close a road that runs next to the structure and connects Alexanderplatz with the Brandenburg Gate.

Mcdonalds is not selling burgers!!!

 Mcdonalds is not selling burgers!!! You might be surprised to know that selling burgers is not McDonalds main business. McDonald's is a real estate company. There are 39,198 McDonald's outlets globally which has a total value of 41 billion dollars making it the 7th largest real estate owner in the world. How you can ask... usually fast food restaurants operate on franchise model, people who own land contact the brand owners and obtain the franchise licience & use their brand name and recipes for a fee. But Mcdoland's follows a different stratergy. it first buys a land and then finds people to operate there. For 60 years McDonald's has been doing this and the results!!! For so many years McDonald's has been collecting rent along with royalty fee from franchises. Name of this genius stratergy is Sonneborn model. McDonald's earns $11 Billion yearly & out of this 70% comes not from selling burgers but from the rent. Now that's smart right?
