The Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919
Wiley told me this story a while back. Basically, a vat of 2.3 million gallons of hot molasses burst and released 30 foot waves of sticky chaos through the heart of Boston. How is this not a major motion picture yet?
Anyway, I found some supporting evidence for the story and it looks to be legit. Going to have to order the book.
