The Great Molasses Flood

The Great Molasses Flood: Boston, 1919The Great Molasses Flood: Boston, 1919 by Deborah Kops
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

WHO KNEW? I certainly had never heard of the Great Molasses Flood. A molasses tank exploded, flooding the Boston riverfront and trapping people in the brown sticky goo and debris. The author attempts to find who was ultimately responsible. Interesting!
