Hasty History #9: The Great Molasses Flood

In this week's BONUS Hasty History episode, we will be discussing the Great Molasses Flood of 1919. The Great Molasses Flood was quite literally a flood of molasses that swept through Boston, Massachusetts in January of 1919. And while a flood of sticky molasses may sound amusing, this incident would turn tragic with 150 people injured and another 21 dead. Professor and Civil Engineer Mark Rossow put it perfectly when he said of the incident, “First you kind of laugh at it, then you read about it, and it was horrible.” So let's talk about it! Hasty History BONUS episodes are no-nonsense, crash course, cram session History lessons. No cocktail segment, no ads, no bloopers. Just a quick download of some heavy History content.
