Berlin AquaDom explosion - what went wrong?

<< < (3/22) > >>

coppercone2:
I drilled a hole on the edge of a acrylic and tightened it with a screw, 1 month later it cracked. I used a acrylic drill bit too and drilled with coolant. Very sensitive material

pcprogrammer:
And now you know why the other firm withdrew.   >:D

At some point in the video the American spokes person of the firm states that there are only two companies in the world capable of doing this and that they got the job, and a very impressive one, I must say. With the elevator in the middle. One can only wonder what caused this failure.

But like tom66 wrote, the poor fish indeed.

tooki:
Poor fish!!  :'(

I also wouldn’t want to be their insurer: a million liters of water is already horrible for a building, but a million liters of saltwater could mean much, much bigger problems.

tom66:
That's a good point. Also a lot of that water will have gone into sewers and underground.  It could easily corrode parts of the structure for the hotel and adjacent buildings if it is not cleaned up promptly.

SiliconWizard:
That's unfortunate.
