. Rescue dogs were searching the building for anyone who might be trapped under debris, they said.The AquaDom aquarium at the Sea Life tourist attraction photographed in Berlin, Wednesday, June 1, 2022. / Following the burst of a huge aquarium, the atrium of a hotel is devastated in Berlin Germany, Friday, Dec. 16, 2022.

“We have not yet been able to walk the first floor completely, which is probably where these fish will be," fire service spokesman Adrian Wentzel said. Operators say the aquarium has the biggest cylindrical tank in the world. It contained 1,500 tropical fish before the incident. There was speculation freezing temperatures that got down to minus 10 degrees Celsius overnight caused a crack in the tank, which then exploded under the weight of the water. Police said there was no evidence the incident resulted from an attack.

Sandra Weeser, a German lawmaker who was staying in the hotel, said she was awoken up by a large bang and thought there might have been an earthquake.Debris stretches out across the front of the Berlin hotel after the aquarium burst in cold weather.
