The AquaDom, the world's largest free-standing cylindrical aquarium, burst inside a Berlin hotel on December 16, spilling a million liters of water onto the street and killing 1,500 tropical fish.

At least two people were slightly injured by shattered glass, according to local police.

The aquarium, which was last modernized in 2020, is a major tourist magnet in Berlin. It was given the Guinness World Record for the world's largest cylindrical aquarium and cost £11.2m to build.
