As a result, 1 million liters of water leaked from the aquarium and glass and other debris were thrown out of the building, which also houses a hotel and café.
The exact cause of the crash is still unclear. It is assumed that due to the low temperature of -10 ° C a crack appeared in the acrylic glass tank, which then burst under the pressure of the water.
Nearly all of the 1,500 tropical fish that were inside the tank at the time of the breach died. In total, there were about 80 species of fish in the aquarium, including blue surgeonfish and clownfish.
