I highly doubt the thing was made of glass. Almost certainly some sort of acrylic
To: BenLurkin
Damn. I’ve stayed there. The aquarium is definitely the highlight.
To: BenLurkin
I only have a 75 gallon tank but this story is making me nervous. Of course, I currently have no fish in the tank; my goldfish died in April but I’m planning on getting 3 fantails after the holidays.

Some things are just too big not to fail.

I highly doubt the thing was made of glass. Almost certainly some sort of acrylic Almost certainly. But it may have also had some glass components and I'd wager some of the surrounding building glass windows and balconies got blown out as a result of the sudden release.

Acrylic ages much more quickly than glass.
Exposure to sunlight accelerates aging.
How long had this been in place?

I would think so, too. I can’t imagine the furnace to heat a +50 foot high tank made of glass. Acrylic is a two part polymer that is simply poured.

One of the fish probably strapped an explosive vest onto itself and went out in a blaze of Piscine glory.

It certainly looked like acrylic to me. Glass usually does not have big pieces intact after giving way and falling to the ground.
I wonder if the tank was new or had been there for awhile? Article didn't say, or I missed it.

Was Tom cruise in the area?

You could just put in a few dead fish and get ahead of the curve…

Still no doubt some of that renouned Cherman engineering? If you lose a war bad enough you ought to be kind of humble for awhile?
