AquaDom Investigation Closed: No one Responsible for Giant Aquarium Collapse
JEREMY GAY2 HOURS AGO
Prosecutors in Berlin have closed their investigation into the giant AquaDom cylinder aquarium collapse, concluding that the cause could not be pinpointed and that they had no lead to follow on who might be responsible.
According to the Associated Press, engineer Christen Bonten submitted a report after being commissioned by the building’s owners to find out exactly what went wrong, and who, if anyone was to blame. Bonten presented three theories on why the walls of the one million-liter aquarium suddenly gave way in the early hours of December last year.
He hypothesized that firstly, the aquarium’s adhesive seam may have failed. Secondly, the tank may have been damaged by a dent in its base when the aquarium was modernized in 2020. And thirdly, the tank may have been refilled too late after that modernization, drying out the acrylic glass walls too much. He concluded however that there was no clear evidence to prove any of them. The prosecutors added that there had never been any suspicion of a deliberate act.
