In 1919, a giant tank burst in Boston, releasing 2 million gallons of molasses. A 25-foot wave rushed through the streets at 35 mph. 21 people died, 150 were injured, and 25 horses were lost in the sticky flood. The disaster was so powerful it ripped buildings off their foundations — and for decades, locals swore the streets still smelled like molasses on hot days. #HistoryReel #ViralHistory #MolassesFlood #BostonHistory #WeirdHistory #DarkHistory #StoryTime #DidYouKnow #HistoryTok #USHistory |
