Boston's Great Molasses Flood of 1/15/1919

Today is the 88th. anniversary of the Great Molasses Flood of Boston.
21 people killed, 150 injured. The dead were suffocated or cooked in the tidal wave of hot molasses. Think about that for minute.

That was an interesting read. I had never heard of it before.

Thanks TB for your usual critique of postings. I was so caught up in the content that I inadvertly gave molasses its 'southern spellin' alternative.
