World’s largest cylindrical aquarium explodes (VIDEO)

A giant aquarium containing a million liters of water and some 1,500 exotic fish burst in the German capital Berlin on Friday.

The AquaDom in the lobby of the Radisson Blu hotel was considered the largest free-standing cylindrical aquarium in the world.

The 14-meter-tall (46 feet) fish tank cost €12.8 million (around $13.6 million) to build. It was opened in 2003 and underwent modernization two years ago.
