• There were more than 100 distinct fish species in the aquarium.

The Radisson Blu in Berlin’s lobby has been inundated by water from a massive aquarium that has ruptured and contained a million litres of water.

The “AquaDom,” which is 14 metres (46 feet) high and contains 1,500 tropical fish, has been dubbed the largest free-standing cylindrical aquarium in the world.

Two persons were hurt by glass shards, according to the police, and there was “great maritime damage.”

Social media photos of the hotel’s foyer revealed extensive damage.

Additionally, the street in front of the structure, which was closed due to flooding, was covered in debris from the break.

The hotel has relocated its guests.

Since the aquarium was updated two years ago, visitors can use a clear-walled lift inside. The hotel advertises that some of its rooms have views of it.

More than 100 firefighters were present, according to Berlin’s fire department, and the cause of the breach was unknown.

It claimed to have utilised rescue dogs to search the hotel’s interior for any potential victims, but no one was discovered.

Police warned locals to drive carefully as “huge amounts” of water were gushing into the streets nearby.

According to a police source who spoke to the local media, there is no proof that the break was caused by a targeted attack.

The Karl-Liebknecht street outside the hotel has been blocked, according to Berlin’s public transportation administration, because to “an extremely high amount of water on the road.” The area’s tram service was also suspended.

Early on Friday, videos shared on social media indicated the aquarium had sustained significant damage, with the tank seeming to be empty and water pouring out of pipes into the lobby.

There were more than 100 distinct fish species in the aquarium.

On Friday, the attraction posted a notice on its website asking guests to reschedule their tickets due to a temporary closure of the attraction.

The largest cylindrical aquarium in the world, AquaDom received the Guinness World Record after it debuted in December 2003.

Its construction reportedly cost about €12.8 million (£11.2 million) at the time.
