Walking around Boston's North End, you find a little plaque commemorating an event that happened on January 15, 1919. What was it?
The Boston molasses flood
The plaque in Puopolo Park commemorates the day in 1919 when a tank of molasses 50 feet (15 m) tall and 90 feet (27m) in diameter at the Purity Distilling Company collapsed, spreading as much as 2,300,000 U.S. gallons (8,700 cubic meters) of the brown syrup over several blocks. Rapidly rising temperatures that day may have caused too-rapid expansion of the tank. Molasses was as much as three feet deep on some streets and filled basements. Twenty-one people were killed and 150 injured. Molasses was the principal sweetener of the day and was used in the making of rum and munitions. Some local residents will tell you that on a hot summer day you can still smell the molasses
