Boston Molasses Disaster of 1919

Name: Anonymous 2010-05-19 4:03

Before the explosion, the tank's owner, U.S. Industrial Alcohol, responded to warnings about structural problems with the tank by painting it brown, making it harder to see the molasses leaking out of the tank.

Hours after the explosion, a company lawyer was on the scene falsely blaming others for the disaster.

The mess was eventually cleaned by dumping hundreds of thousands of ants onto Boston.

Very interesting. Why such strange things like this happen in Boston, I'll never know.

Sounds like a sticky situation.

Don't change these.
