Description

You are on a street in Boston's North End. The storage tank starts to creak. Then a wall of brown syrup comes down the road. On 15 January 1919, a tank released about 2.3 million US gallons of molasses. The disaster killed 21 people and injured about 150. The initial wave is commonly estimated at about 35 mph. This is a stylised reconstruction. The street layout, people, distance counter and timing are illustrative. No gore is shown.
