A giant aquarium containing around 1,500 tropical fish burst inside a Berlin hotel complex on Friday, flooding the lobby and a nearby street and leaving two people injured.
Guests said they were woken by a loud bang as the world's largest freestanding cylindrical aquarium shattered, leaving marine life flowing through the hotel entrance and out onto freezing cold streets in the busy Mitte district.
"A million litres of water and all the fish inside spilled onto the ground floor," a spokesman for the Berlin fire department said.
One guest described seeing a parrot fish frozen dead on the ground after it was expelled from the vast container used as a centrepiece of a leisure complex housing the Radisson Blu hotel, a museum, shops and restaurants.
