Boston Molasses Disaster of 1919.

Not to be confused with the London Beer Flood.

The molasses disaster, I knew about; the beer flood was news to me. *g*

I think I knew about the Molasses Flood, courtesy of Connie Willis' "Passage". Not the other one though.

A friend of mine went to a Halloween party as the molasses disaster several years ago. She wore a brown pancho with little doll people stuck on it.

"The wave left nine people dead: eight due to drowning and one from alcohol poisoning."

Several people tried to rescue him, but he fought them off bravely :)
