Learn about Boston's molasses disaster of 1919, when a storage tank
burst and flooded the streets, in this latest addition to the New
York Times Bestselling What Was? series. An unusually warm winter
day resulted in 2.3 million gallons of molasses flooding the North
End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The disaster killed
twenty-one people and injured 150 others. Rescue missions were
launched to save people from the sticky and deadly mess, led by the
Red Cross, the Army, the Navy, and the Massachusetts Nautical
School. With the help of hundreds of volunteers over the course of
several weeks, the streets were cleaned up. But the smell of
molasses and the horror of the preventable tragedy lingered for
decades to come.
