In 1919, a wicked big molasses tank in Boston's North End busted open, sending 2.3 million gallons of the sticky stuff racing through the streets at 35 mph. Twenty-one people got killed by what was basically a breakfast tsunami, proving that even in Beantown, you nevah know what's gonna get ya. The whole thing was caused by some company cutting cornahs on safety - typical! It took months to clean up all that gooey mess, and the neighborhood smelled like pancakes for decades. Talk about ya most embarrassing industrial disaster, kid.
