ANNALS OF STRANGE DISASTER
Remembering the Great Molasses Flood
BY CAMILLE DODERO

The tale of the Great Boston Molasses Flood sounds like an urban legend. In 1919, a squat steel tank of molasses sitting low on the Boston Harbor waterfront exploded. Filled with more than 2.3 million gallons of the sticky substance, the seaside container burst, unleashing a 15-foot-high tidal wave of gooey destruction, killing 21 people, and devastating substantial parts of the North End.

I can just see the people in line at the pearly gates:

First guy: "I had a heart attack"
Angel: "Go on in."
Second guy: "I got robbed and shot"
Angel: "Right this way sir."
Third guy: "15ft tidalwave of gooey death"
Angel: "WTFROFFLEBAN!"

Damnit, why does everyone hate kangaroos? But this is not the place to discuss it, feel free to start a new thread on that.

Except that never actually managed to kill anyone. But let's all be friends and start a new thread about, "When did this world end and why aren't we burning and rotting right now?"

1922? I thought it was 1944. Lot of bad stuff going on during that. D-day, Market Garden.
