The anniversary of...

[cleverendeavouR]

a giant molasses tank exploding in 1919 all over the streets of Boston.

The tank had a diameter of 90 feet and was 50 feet tall. It could hold 2 1/2 million gallons molasses.

There was a huge explosion that sent metal fragments over 200 feet away. The molasses came flowing from the tank at 35 mph.

150 people injured and 21 people died from being sucked into the molasses.

What an awful way to die.

 

[TheCake Is A Lie]

That would be awful.

 

[Raziaar]

That's how I want to die.

 

[Dan]

Sounds like these men got caught...

*sunglasses*

...in a sticky situation

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

 

[Krynn72]

Remember when Darkside and Vegeta had a massive chair battle that was waged throughout a huge thread and Vegeta used Raziaar as a mount and the clash was so powerful and so evenly matched that nobody could do anything but sit back and eat ice cream?


Now that was a sticky situation.

 

[Raziaar]

And I have images documenting every second of it! MUAHAHAHA!

I'm that vain.

 

[Dog--]

Dan, if you're going to do it.


*sunglasses*


Do it right.

Ok but seriously, that is one of the weirder ways to die. Drowning in molasses? They must've not been fast runners.

 

[cleverendeavouR]

I doubt you can run at 35 mph.

 

[Dog--]

It's a joke, ever hear the saying 'slower than molasses'? Calm down.

Saw what you did there.

 

[Krynn72]

I always think of that episode when I hear the phrase "sticky situation."

 

[highlander]

aw no bro.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Hahaha, Boston.

 

[Sam]

You're like molasses going uphill in winter.

 

[Seppo]

Dan, if you're going to do it.

*sunglasses*

Do it right.

Dan's was soooo much better.

 

[CyberPitz]

Dan's was soooo much better.

Infinitely.

I watched a documentary on the whole incident...was actually very interesting. They built the tank way too fast with too cheap of materials and didn't do any sort of safety checks on it....and let it rip.

That's what they get for trying to profit off BOOZE!
