A huge aquarium in the center of Berlin burst Friday, causing a wave of devastation in and around the Sea Life tourist attraction, German police said Friday.
Glass and other debris were swept out of the building, which also contains a hotel and cafes, as 1 million liters (264,000 gallons) of water poured out of the 82-foot-high aquarium shortly before 6 a.m.
Berlin’s fire service said two people were lightly injured and rescue dogs were being prepared to search the building for anyone who might be trapped under debris.
There was speculation that freezing temperatures of down to minus 14 degrees Fahrenheit overnight had caused a crack in the tank, which then exploded under the weight of the water. Police said the cause of the incident was still being investigated but there was no evidence that it was the result of an attack.
