They suspect that the freezing temperatures overnight, around -10, caused the glass to crack and when it warmed up, exploded. BTW, they managed to find some fish still alive. However, imagine if you had been in the elevator in the middle of it when it went...

There's one type of glass, forget which, that does almost explode. Remember carrying a sheet once and obviously overstrained it and it just burst into umpteen little bits.

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.

Not sure how 1,500 is equal to thousands.

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.
