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.
At around 5:45 a.m. local time (0445 GMT) there was a very loud noise and parts of the facade of the hotel where the aquarium was located flew onto the street, a police spokesman was reported as saying in local media outlet RBB.
Berlin's traffic agency VIZ said an extremely large volume of water had spilled over onto the street outside while Berlin police said "massive amounts of water" have flowed onto the street.
Littered with debris, the area has been largely cordoned off while the street on which the hotel is located — Karl-Liebknecht Strasse — has been closed off.

They called fire fighters to a flood? Any situation (aside from obvious criminal activity) where there could be a chance of injury or death, firefighters are always called first.

Surely there's gotta be security camera footage, right?
I'm sure it looked awesome when it collapsed!

Surely there's gotta be security camera footage, right? That should be showing up quickly.

Oh I know. I was just amused by the irony of sending fire fighters to a flood.
