On Tuesday, the city marks the 100th anniversary of its most peculiar disaster — the Great Molasses Flood.
It struck without warning at midday on Jan. 15, 1919, when a giant storage tank containing more than 2.3 million gallons (8.7 million liters) of molasses suddenly ruptured, sending a giant wave of goop crashing through the cobblestone streets of the bustling North End.

Almost as bad as that time the giant water and vinegar tank busted at the same time. The sound was amazing

Purity Distilling’s parent company, U.S. Industrial Alcohol, argued that anarchists active at the time must have planted a bomb that shredded the tank. But investigators concluded the tank’s construction was faulty. A judge found the company guilty of negligence and ordered it to pay $300,000 — the equivalent of about $4.5 million today — in damages to victims and their families.
