The Boston Molasses Flood (2020x12)

:

At around 12:30pm on the 15th of January 1919, in the North End neighbourhood of Boston, Massachusetts, a huge storage tank filled with molasses burst. The sugary substance within flooded into nearby streets at great speed, destroying buildings, lifting cars and trucks on the crest of the wave, and smothering any unfortunate people in its path. In mere moments, the Boston Molasses Flood claimed 21 innocent lives.
