Following the burst of a huge aquarium, the atrium of a hotel is devastated in Berlin, Dec. 16, 2022.Officials said on Friday evening that the hotel building itself was assessed to be safe. The local government said that nearly all of the 1,500 fish that were inside at the time of the rupture died but “a few fish at the bottom of the tank” were saved.
