Aquarium ceiling collapses — no injuries
Published Aug 20, 2014 at 9:49 am (Updated Aug 20, 2014 at 1:11 pm)
A ceiling at the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo fell in yesterday due to recent heavy rain.
The area of internal ceiling — around the cylindrical tank at the popular Flatts attraction — partially collapsed after rainfall seeped through the roof.
No one was injured and the exhibit and fish were also unharmed.
Staff removed the rest of the false ceiling and a small area in the Aquarium Hall will remain cordoned off while repairs are made, although the exhibit will continue to be open.
