BERLIN — A U.S. company that helped build a huge aquarium in Berlin says it is sending a team to investigate the, which sent a wave of debris, water and tropical fish crashing through the hotel lobby it was located in and onto the street outside. Reynolds Polymer Technology, which says it manufactured and installed the cylinder component of the AquaDom tank 20 years ago, said in an emailed statement that “at this point, it is too early to determine the factor or factors that would produce such a failure.”

Police have said they found no evidence of a malicious act but the cause of the spectacular collapse shortly before 6 a.m. on Friday, in which two people were slightly injured, remains unclear. Berlin's top security official, Iris Spranger, told German news agency dpa on Friday that “first indications point to material fatigue.”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.

Poor fish 💔

So, who breaks things in Germany?

BB Gun did it...

They were keeping the lobby too cold because of energy prices caused by their own sanctions. It’s an own goal. I am keeping my home at 24C this winter in solidarity with Germany.

The glass broke. Thanks for the money.
