Early Morning Fish Frenzy in Berlin

Berlin's Dom Aquaree complex housed a hotel, a museum, shops and restaurants. As an attraction, it had a 14 metre high, cylindrical aquarium, housing circa 1,500 exotic fish. Temperatures, in Berlin last night, were as low as -10 degrees Centigrade. The aquarium shattered, releasing the fish as well as one million litres of water (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/16/huge-cylindrical-aquarium-housing-1500-exotic-fish-bursts-in-berlin). Quite a lot of damage was caused and two people injured by flying glass splinters. Fortunately, the burst occurred in the early morning, when relatively few people were around. Obviously, large aquaria can be dangerous installations.
