A large aquarium exploded early Friday at a Berlin hotel, releasing 1,500 tropical fish into the lobby and flooding the downtown area of the German capital with debris and hundreds of thousands of gallons of seawater in a scene that the city s mayor likened to a "veritable tsunami."
More than 100 firefighters were called to the scene at the Radisson Blu complex in the German capital's Mitte district. The 16-meter aquarium houses 1,500 tropical fish. Two people have so far been reported injured.
