A huge aquarium in the centre of Berlin burst on Friday, causing a wave of devastation in and around the Sea Life tourist attraction, German police said.
Glass and other debris were swept out of the building, which also contains a hotel and cafes, as one million litres of water poured out of the 82 foot tall aquarium shortly before 6am German time. Berlin's fire service said two people were lightly injured and rescue dogs were being prepared to search the building for anyone who might be trapped under debris.
The attraction sat at the centre of the Radisson Blu DomAquaree hotel, part of the wider Sea Life attraction in the German capital. Around 1,600 fish were washed out into the streets of Berlin as the tank exploded, showering the hotel lobby with glass and decorations from inside the tank.
