The great Molasses Flood

In 1919, Boston was hit by a bizarre disaster when a massive molasses tank burst, releasing over 2 million gallons into the streets.

The sticky wave moved with surprising force, destroying buildings and trapping people in its path.

Poor construction and lack of safety checks were blamed for the tragedy, which killed 21 people.

The Great Molasses Flood remains one of the strangest industrial accidents ever recorded.
