If you're curious about the design considerations and construction techniques for large aquaria, the standard reference is Stachiw's Handbook of Acrylics for Submersibles, Hyperbaric Chambers, and Aquaria: https://www.bestpub.com/books/product/cid-151.html

Plastics are weird, and examining the wreckage will give a lot of information about the failure mode.

Those fish must have taken a battering

Any fish that got flushed out will be lost, they need things to be 'just so'. I once helped clean up at a friends place who had 30 aquariums with thousands of fish after the power went out longer than his UPS could provide it. The mess was sickening. He never had another tank after that and it was his life's passion.

Weird. Earlier today I awoke from a nap after strange dreams and attempted to produce images in midjourney of a giant aquarium breaking. I must psychic or something.

Shit happens with my wife All. The. Time.

We're rational enough to mostly chalk it up to coincidence or selection bias, but not calculating enough to take advantage of gullible people

(Edited to mention selection bias)
