A huge fish tank containing thousands of tropical fish exploded inside a hotel causing a wave of destruction in Berlin.
Visitors said they heard a loud bang and initially feared a bomb had exploded, as glass and other debris was sent across the lobby.
Photos show huge panes of broken glass showered over the hotel lobby as it is believed around a million litres of water poured out of the 82-foot tall glass tank in central Berlin just before 6am today.
The complex includes a Radisson Blu hotel, a museum, shops and restaurants as well as the world’s largest freestanding cylindrical aquarium.
Around 1,500 tropical fish are said to have been killed.
Berlin Police said on Twitter: ‘In addition to the unbelievable maritime damage… two people were injured by glass splinters.’
A spokesperson for theBerlin fire brigade said emergency responders had been unable to access the ground floor of the building due to the debris.
Search and rescue dogs were being sent to the scene, he added.
