据路透社报道，当地时间12月16日，柏林一大型水族馆发生爆裂，约100万升的水和大约 1500只热带鱼夹杂着玻璃碎片倾泻到柏林米特区的主干道上。当地消防队人员称，目前水族馆爆裂原因尚不明确。
A huge aquarium in Berlin burst early on Friday, spilling 1 million litres of water, around 1,500 exotic fish and debris onto a major road in the busy Mitte district, emergency services said. A spokesperson for the fire brigade told Reuters it was still unclear what had caused the AquaDom aquarium to burst.

据路透社，事发现场位于一处综合休闲设施内，该设施囊括酒店、博物馆、以及多家商店和餐馆。
包括一名酒店员工在内的两人被玻璃碎片击伤。为避免造成大量人员伤亡，应当地紧急服务部门要求，大约350名客人收拾行李离开了酒店。
Two people, including a hotel employee, were injured by splinters of glass, and emergency services asked around 350 hotel guests to pack their belongings and leave amid concerns that there could be structural damage.

柏林市长弗兰齐斯卡·吉菲表示，幸运的是事故发生在清晨。
"It was fortunate that the accident happened so early in the morning, when there was hardly anybody in the immediate vicinity", Berlin mayor Franziska Giffey was quoted as saying. “If this hadn’t happened at 5:45 am but even just one hour later, then we would probably have had terrible human loss to report.” “幸运的是，事故发生在清晨，当时附近几乎没有人”，柏林市长弗兰齐斯卡·吉菲表示。“如果这不是发生在清晨5点45分，而是在一个小时之后，那么我们可能将面临更可怕的人员伤亡。”

据路透社，因为大量水从水族馆所在建筑中涌出，应急救援部门还封锁了附近一条由亚历山大广场通向勃兰登堡门的主干道。
Emergency services shut a major road next to the complex that leads from Alexanderplatz toward the Brandenburg Gate due to the large volume of water that had flooded out of the building.
