A giant aquarium containing a million litres of water in the lobby of the Radisson Blu in Berlin has burst, flooding the hotel and nearby streets.
The "AquaDom" - home to 1,500 tropical fish - is 15.85m high (52 ft) and was described as the largest free-standing cylindrical aquarium in the world.

Holy cow!

Worked at a tropical fish store when I was 12 for $1 an hour cash. Owner decided to start a side business building custom fish tanks, the biggest was about 1,000 gallons more or less held together with Dow silicone sealant no frame. Any way we got the thing in place filled it up, turned it on to get the chlorine out of the system. Came back in two days to add the fish and accessories, that night it blew a seam, basically destroyed the guys living room and club basement! I don't know how much it cost to repair the damages, but it was the last tank he built. Then he went out and bought all the ones he had built before! Brings back memories.
