In the late 19th century, a huge tank of this stuff exploded in Boston, killing as I remember, over 100 people. They say that when the weather is right, you can still smell molassas in certain parts of old Boston.
It was 90 deg. out, the stuff flowed really easy, it flooded inside the building too. I don’t ever think they will get it all cleaned up, what a mess!
Killed 21 people in Boston in 1919.
Injured perhaps 150.
Which reminds me. One time this whole mole family was running at top speed down the mole hole, with the father mole in the lead. Suddenly, the father mole stopped very fast. What did the rest of the mole family smell?
