EMILY SCHULTHEIS and FRANK JORDANS Fri, December 16, 2022 at 2:02 AM CST BERLIN (AP) — A huge aquarium in Berlin burst, spilling debris, water and more than a thousand 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.

Mayor Franziska Giffey said the incident 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 25 meter tall (82 foot tall) AquaDom was described as the biggest cylindrical tank in the world and held more than a thousand tropical fish before the incident. Among the 80 types of fish it housed were blue tang and clownfish, two colorful species known from the popular animated movie “Finding Nemo.”

“Unfortunately, none of the 1,500 fish could be saved,” Giffey said.

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 there was no evidence the incident resulted from a malicious act.

“Just yesterday we watched it and we were so amazed (by) its beauty," she said. "Suddenly it’s all gone. Everything is a mess, a total mess.”

Would you keep your moronic Daily Mail Ukraine garbage on your own garbage propaganda threads?

The only moron here is you, allowing me to rub in your Putin Stooge face that I was pinged to this thread by a Putin Stooge posting in regards to Putin's Terror Invasion of Ukraine.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Come to think of it, I been getting pinged to threads even more by Putin Stooges.
Another nutjob Putin Stooge having me live rent free in his head pinged me THREE times to the same thread.
LOL!

Let’s all take a moment to pity the sad existence of angry sore loser Putin Stooges.

I don't support Putin, moron. I'm just sick of you idiot Zelbots stinking up FR with your propaganda. Anyone who doesn't buy into your insipid Ukraine wet-dream is a Putinista. F.O.

[Berlin_Freeper]

I don't support Putin, moron.

You could possibly be moronic enough to think you do not support Putin, while being dumb enough to be a tool of Putin.

I'm just sick of you idiot Zelbots stinking up FR with your propaganda. Anyone who doesn't buy into your insipid Ukraine wet-dream is a Putinista. F.O.

Again the above shows what a Great Moron you are. I was pinged here in regards to Ukraine by a Putin Stooge and I simply replied. Therefore your problem, moron, is with that Putin Stooge not me. Moron.

LOL! I knew I came to this thread for a reason!

It does have a certain "revealed in the galil" vibe to it. Folks might miss out on the simple imagery at that link.

I just never know when this stuff will come in handy. Like electronic trading cards.. collect 'em all:

נוני ימא

...נוני ימא (בתרגום מארמית: דגי הים) הוא כינוי לנשמות של עלמא דאתכסיא

Moshe is the name he received when he was pulled from the waters of the Nile by Basya bas Pharoah: “I drew him from the water” (מן המים משיתיהו). As explained in Chassidus, this is referring to the lofty level of Moshe’s neshoma, that it derives from the highest, hidden worlds (עלמא דאתכסיא), the world of Tohu which is likened to water. According to this explanation, the level of “Moshe” is entirely above the world, G-dliness that has no relationship with the world.

I was pinged here in regards to Ukraine by a Putin Stooge...

I understand how you got here. My point was that if someone doesn't agree with you they are Putin fans.

Please try to keep up. You really are dense.

[Berlin_Freeper]

My point was that if someone doesn't agree with you they are Putin fans.

No moronic liar.
Your complaint was about me supposedly posting Ukraine propaganda...

Would you keep your moronic Daily Mail Ukraine garbage on your own garbage propaganda threads?

All your earned moron points in this thread are going to earn you a top prize!

[Albion Wilde]

Thanks.

OK, I think it will be easier to teach my cat algebra than to get you to understand anything. So I'm gonna go do that. You can have the last word after you wipe the spittle off your screen. At least, I hope that's spittle.

[Berlin_Freeper]

At least, I hope that's spittle.

It was too easy crushing such a moronic tool of Putin.
Everyone can see you took your cheap Putin Stooge attack on me and it went very badly for you.
Congratulations, you earned Bonus Moronic Weirdo Prize Points for the disgusting window you gave into your sick mind:

... wipe the spittle off your screen. At least, I hope that's spittle.

—”Lack of fossil fuels, and limitations on their use could have caused a reduction in heating of the building.”

Possible but not probable.

Water has a very high specific heat capacity close to that of gold, it is up there in its ability to carry heat.

With that volume of water, the change in the water temperature would be very slow, with not much thermal shock expansion/contraction in the system.

Now my new improved (cheap) Pyrex bowl did not like the transition from the refrigerator to the oven.
IT DONE BLOWED UP REAL GOOD!... A major manmade disaster.

Just stay with the old Pyrex and avoid the new stuff.

“New Ice Age imminent??”

Of course it is, they’re called glacial periods And we’re into about our fifth or 6th one as far as scientists can tell. That is a cycle and there’s always going to be climate change, either it’s going to be colder or warmer and then another cycle will begin.

I wish more taxpayers would realize that especially since they are the ones being fleeced.

[Reno89519]

Fish for dinner?

[NorthMountain]

(cheap) Pyrex is soda-lime glass, not particularly resistant to thermal shock.

old Pyrex is borosilicate glass, long time favorite of laboratory glassware manufacturers, and highly resistant to thermal shock.

Borosilicate glass kitchenware is tough to find now.

It’s Fish Friday. Too Catholic?

That looks pretty cool .. or did, anyway.

Rumors that this was seen a few hours before the collapse.…
