https://www.patreon.com/iilluminaughtii Welcome to Dark Dives, a
new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of
humanity. The Great Molasses Flood sounds like something out of a
cartoon, but it’s not. This very real, very deadly tidal wave of
molasses raced through Boston in the early 1900s, killing and
injuring any Bostonians in its path. Over a hundred years later,
this incident can still teach us about poor regulatory measures and
the sour situations we may find ourselves in as a result of them.
