BOSTON’S GREAT MOLASSES FLOOD OF 1919

The Great Molasses Flood of 1919: Boston's Strangest Disaster - Sick History

At midday, a 40-foot wave of fiery hot molasses flooded the
streets of Boston
on January 15, 1919, killing 21 people and 
injuring scores of others. 

A 58-foot high tank filled with 2.5 million gallons of crude
molasses burst under pressure due unseasonably hot
weather at the U.S. Industrial Alcohol Company plant in
the north end of the city.

The flood crushed buildings, moved a firehouse, and
knocked an elevated train off its tracks.
