Berlin AquaDom Aquarium Bursts​

Dec. 16, 2022, Berlin, Germany:

A huge aquarium in Berlin burst, spilling debris, water and hundreds of tropical fish out of the AquaDom tourist attraction in the heart of the German capital early Friday.

Police said parts of the building, which also contains a hotel, cafes and a chocolate store, were damaged as 1 million liters (264,000 gallons) of water poured from the aquarium shortly before 6 a.m. (0500 GMT). Berlin’s fire service said two people were slightly injured.

The company that owns the AquaDom, Union Investment Real Estate, said in a statement Friday afternoon that the reasons for the incident were “still unclear.”

Mayor Franziska Giffey said the tank had unleashed a “veritable tsunami” of water but the early morning timing had prevented far more injuries.

“Despite all the destruction, we were still very lucky,” she said. “We would have had terrible human damage” had the aquarium burst even an hour later, once more people were awake and in the hotel and the surrounding area, she said.

The website of the AquaDom described it as the biggest cylindrical tank in the world at 25 meters tall (82 feet tall), although Union Investment Real Estate clarified Friday that the tank portion of the attraction had a height of 14 meters (46 feet).

There was speculation freezing temperatures that got down to minus 10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit) overnight caused a crack in the acrylic glass tank, which then exploded under the weight of the water. Police said they found no evidence of a malicious act.

Nearly all of the 1,500 fish that were inside at the time of the rupture died, the Berlin Mitte district government confirmed via Twitter, adding “a few fish at the bottom of the tank” could still be saved. Among the 80 types of fish it housed were blue tang and clownfish, two colorful species known from the popular animated movie “Finding Nemo.”

Poor fishies, that's ALOT of water.

 

[Flatus Tube]

For such a huge cylindrical tank holding that much water, the ‘glass’ appeared to be rather thin when scaled against the whole tank.

Damn, that would have been cool if caught on video!

I think it was acrylic glass and looks atleast 1/4" thick...probably still make a good slice. Good thing folks weren't in there...

Damn, that would have been cool if caught on video!

Imagine, 1,500 flipping and flopping fishes bouncing around for a 1/2 hour or so..and the wave must have been something.

Germany is a shithole

A whole page with gore worldwide and all you see from Germany is a small flood accident. That's why Germany is a shithole? Cause?

Because its a main importer of niggers and muslims in Europe…and, its a bitch „country“ owned by the USA and Russia

 

[Skull81]

Yes, that's true, the German government likes to cuddle with all dissatisfied economic refugees and that's a problem. That's probably true. But we no longer have anything to do with Russia, and that's a good thing. Most countries have alliances, that's the way it is. That will not change either.

That image is vertically squashed. If you scroll back up two images from the one you cropped that pic from, you can see that is significantly thicker. It is the same pic but not squashed.

Yeah. I went on a bit of a nerd mission looking into the thickness of the acrylic glass used in aquariums. The viewing tunnels we walk through in the Sea World type places seem to be 6.5 to 12cm thick, but then they have the benefit of being an arch under the weight of the water which increases force bearing capacity. Also, those tunnels usually have less depth above them with a larger surface area so the weight is spread differently.

No doubt the engineers modelled this carefully, but it was a brave design.

Germany is a shithole

never forget
germany is the main country in the world.
best inventions, best scientists, best philosophers, best athletes. best quality.

i like your avy...

He's such a good boy. I feed him roadkill and genitals. but he always drags his arm around with him. That's his thing. If he's a good boy, I'll reward him with a pickle. He's crazy about pickles

Fuck there has to be a video of that....

Nemo was clownfish, that is a giant triggerfish. I know you were just cracking a joke. I'm surprised I'd never seen or heard of this tourist attraction in Germany. The before pictures look incredible, the after pictures... Not so much.

i like your avy...

Great show.
