Morbid did a full ep on the molasses flood, def not as funny obviously 😂 but the full details are CRAZY… it doesn’t sound even real… love this take on the hilarious parts of the sad tragedy

Apparently the tank was really poorly made, to the point that it would be common for people to send their kids with a jar to gather up some molasses for their baking, because it leaked THAT OFTEN 😳

I just visited Boston and on a history tour they discussed the molasses incident. They mentioned a local newspaper did a play on the Boston Massacre and used the headline “Boston Molassescre” 😂

I've worked in process plants most of my adult life. (chemicals etc.). i look at things through a different lens for the most part. bullet tanks are basically king sized propane tanks that are typically 50 foot long and have a circumference of 25 feet or so. that in its self isn't the problem. its the pressure relief valves that rarely get checked in shady places.

I loved this episode! I hope that you do more of industrial accidents.

This was a terrifying yet fascinating episode! Since I grew up like 45 mins from Boston, I always love hearing more about The Great Molasses Disaster. That shit was tragically wild.

They say that on hot, sticky days you can still smell molasses in the North End, although I’ve never experienced that, so it may just be folklore now.
