The Great Molasses Flood was a disaster that occurred on January 15, 1919, in the North End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. A large storage tank filled with 2.3 million U.S. gallons of molasses, weighing approximately 13,000 short tons, burst, and the resultant wave of molasses rushed through the streets at an estimated 35 miles per hour, killing 21 people and injuring 150. The molasses wave traveled for about two blocks, destroying buildings, cars, and other objects in its path. The molasses also caused extensive damage to the infrastructure of the North End, including roads, bridges, and sewers. The 21 people who were killed in the flood were mostly pedestrians and workers who were caught in the path of the molasses wave. Many of the victims were suffocated by the molasses or crushed by debris. The disaster also led to a number of changes in safety regulations for the storage of hazardous materials. (3000x2000px)
