The Great Molasses Flood, also known as the Boston Molasses Disaster,[1][2][3] was a disaster that occurred on January 15, 1919, in the North Endneighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.

A large storage tank filled with 2.3 million US gal (8,700 m3)[4] of molasses, weighing approximately 13,000 short tons (12,000 t), burst, and the resultant wave of molasses rushed through the streets at an estimated 35 mph (56 km/h), killing 21 and injuring 150.[5] The event entered local folklore and residents claimed for decades afterwards that the area still smelled of molasses on hot summer days.[5][6]
