AquaDom, in Berlin, was the world’s largest freestanding aquarium.
The largest freestanding aquarium in the world, standing at 82 feet high in the Radisson Blu Hotel in Germany’s capital Berlin, was reportedly destroyed by an explosion overnight.
A social media user claiming to be a guest at the hotel shared a video showing the shattered aquarium, writing that « the fish tank of my hotel just exploded in the middle of the night. »
« The tank in our hotel…blew?, » wrote another on Twitter, sharing an image of the destruction.
Local media—such as RBB and DW—have confirmed the incident, reporting that police said a blast was heard around 5:45 a.m. local time at the tourist attraction and parts of the Radisson’s facade where the aquarium was located flew onto the streets.
