The Deadly Molasses Disaster: Boston’s Sweetest Tragedy!

In 1919, Boston was struck by one of the most bizarre and deadly disasters in history—the Great Molasses Flood. A massive storage tank burst, releasing 2.3 million gallons of thick molasses into the streets at a terrifying speed of 35 miles per hour. Buildings were destroyed, cars were tossed like toys, and tragically, 21 lives were lost. This sweet substance turned into a deadly force, leaving a sticky mess that haunted the city for decades.
