Fish tank aquarium in modern lobby2/23/2024 The website of the AquaDom described it as the biggest cylindrical tank in the world at 25 meters tall (82 feet tall), although Union Investment Real Estate clarified Friday that the tank portion of the attraction had a height of 14 meters (46 feet). "We would have had terrible human damage" had the aquarium burst even an hour later, once more people were awake and in the hotel and the surrounding area, she said. "Despite all the destruction, we were still very lucky," she said. Mayor Franziska Giffey said the tank had unleashed a "veritable tsunami" of water but the early morning timing had prevented far more injuries. The company that owns the AquaDom, Union Investment Real Estate, said in a statement Friday afternoon that the reasons for the incident were "still unclear." Berlin's fire service said two people were slightly injured. Police said parts of the building, which also contains a hotel, cafes and a chocolate store, were damaged as 1 million litres (264,000 gallons) of water poured from the aquarium shortly before 6 a.m. A huge aquarium in Berlin burst, spilling debris, water and hundreds of tropical fish out of the AquaDom tourist attraction in the heart of the German capital early Friday.
