Massive aquarium that exploded in German hotel lobby was a ‘ticking time bomb’ that was only designed to last 25 years, says expert

A German expert has said the aquarium that exploded in Berlin’s Radisson Blu hotel was a ‘ticking time bomb’ and the accident should have been predicted.

Hermann Schuranm, former owner of Schuran Seawater Equipment, said it does not surprise him that the tank shattered on December 16.

The rupture created a tsunami in the hotel lobby at 5.50am and killed 1,500 fish but miraculously it did not seriously hurt any guests.
