    Exploding tank

    1,500 dead fish from fish tank explosion in Germany.

    Not sure how 1,500 is equal to thousands.

    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.

    This is tragic. There are hundreds of injured fish that need your help. You can adopt a fish from as little as £30 a month. Signup now and receive you free photo of your personally named fish and a vegan Christmas card.

          Darmstadt will probably be along to provide a better website, but I find DW.com good for German news in English.

          It's the equivalent of the BBC and so robust. They use good photographers.

                  The CCTV of this happening is going to be crazy when it gets released. I imagine that won't be any time soon though while everyone tries to pin the blame on someone else and the lawsuits go flying around.
