A little known historical disaster happened in Boston, when a MOLASSES flood took the lives of 21 people and injured countless others. On January 15, 1919, a molasses tank at 529 Commercial Street exploded under pressure. A 40-FOOT WAVE OF MOLASSES crushed buildings and inundated the neighborhood! To this day, people living in the area claim that on a hot day you can smell the molasses!
