The Great Molasses Flood of Boston in 1919 was no laughing matter because the flood killed 20 people and seriously injured 15. This tragic event was caused by the collapse of a large molasses storage tank, which released a wave of molasses that swept through the streets at a high speed, causing significant destruction and loss of life. The aftermath of the disaster highlighted issues of industrial safety and regulation.
