The Great Molasses Flood, also known as the Boston Molasses Disaster,[1][2][a] was a disaster that occurred on Wednesday, January 15, 1919, in the North End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.
A large storage tank filled with 2.3 million U.S. gallons (8,700 cubic meters)[4] of molasses, weighing approximately[b] 13,000 short tons (12,000 metric tons) burst, and the resultant wave of molasses rushed through the streets at an estimated 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour), killing 21 and injuring 150 people.[5] The event entered local folklore and residents reported for decades afterwards that the area still smelled of molasses on hot summer days.[5][6]
the company claimed the tank was blown up by anarchists.
Real “the anarchists shit my pants!” energy from those corporate goons
Drowning in molasses is defenitly on my oh-hell-naw list of possible deaths
Talk about a sticky situation to find oneself in.
Hue hue hue.
Yeah, but it’s my birth day! Can we not party a bit?!
Cities don’t store large quantities of molasses like they used to.
sigh
Surely there could never be a Molassacre in Boston on the 15th of January 1919 that would ruin this little fella’s day…
By Talos, this can’t be happening!
