Hundreds of tropical fish dead after Berlin aquarium bursts

A TANK at a huge aquarium in Berlin has burst, causing glass, water and hundreds of tropical fish to spill out of a tourist attraction in the centre of the German capital.

A wave of debris swept out of the building, which also contains a hotel, cafes and a chocolate store, as one million litres (264,000 US gallons or 220,000 UK gallons) of water poured from the aquarium shortly before 6am, police said.

Berlin’s fire service said two people were slightly injured. Rescue dogs were searching the building for anyone who might be trapped under debris, they said.
