The Great // Boston Molasses Flood of 1919 //

// On January 15th 1919, the largest molasses storage tank in Boston exploded. A wall of molasses 15 feet high ripped through the streets of Boston at 35 MPH. The “dark wave” latterly buried people alive and ripped structures out of the ground. More then 150 people were injured and 21 died. The clean up took weeks and urban legend has it, that on warm days you can still smell the molasses. //
