The Great Molasses Flood – The Day Boston Drowned in Syrup

In January 1919, a massive storage tank burst in Boston’s North End—releasing over 2 million gallons of molasses into the streets.

The wave was 25 feet high.
It moved at 35 miles per hour.
It crushed buildings, overturned trains, and killed 21 people.

This wasn’t a joke.
This was one of the strangest and deadliest disasters in American history.

This is the story of The Great Molasses Flood—told in under 3 minutes.
