Interesting fact about the molasses flood: the agency in charge of the molasses container knew that the molasses was leaking, but instead of telling anyone, they *painted it brown so that no one would notice*
Well. That worked out amazingly for everyone didn't it.
i just learned about this in history
bruhhh
If only they put in some extra money to keep those people alive longer, such heartless people just being responsible for all of those injuries and deaths

A little note that's often missed about the Dublin whiskey fire: It wasn't the same stuff you'd buy off the shelves that they were drinking. It was *undiluted* whiskey. That's why it was so flammable and that's why so many died from alcohol poisoning. People only drank what was to them a safe amount, but since it was undiluted, the alcohol content was several times more than that.
Honestly I'm surprised there's enough alcohol to put an Irishman into the grave.
goddamn , that’s cool to kno tho thank u lmao
Yes! Most of them only had one drink of it actually because it was on fire. Or it had recently been actively burning and was still extremely hot. And it burned them severely when they swallowed it, which aided in killing them, and prevented them from drinking any more. But the truth is always less entertaining than a manipulation of it.
I’ve never met an Irish person who stopped drinking at ‘safe amount’ if free drinks were available.
@@XeaRae then you’ve never met an irish person
I actually had to do a calculus lab integrating surface pressure for the molasses flood. The tank was only capable of withstanding like a quarter of the pressure built up in it
That's an interesting project
That's really cool
Imagine getting to Heaven and St. Peter is like "How did you die?"
"Drowned in molasses."
"Sweet."
ha
yea thats how it happened
😂
I see what ya did there...
Ye i died by drinking street piss beer
I am thoroughly impressed that all of these are alcohol related.
Im not
Well technically the Molasses one wasn't for making drinking alcohol it was industrial alcohol used for making bombs
@@HeatherthefurryIrishRedSoxfan Well, its still alcohol, and also thats really funny that the one exception to them being about drinking alcohol is for bombs.
@@HeatherthefurryIrishRedSoxfan No longer needed since WWI ended, so just got piled up. A similar situation happened with the rocket fuel for the space shuttle after Challenger blew up.
@@HeatherthefurryIrishRedSoxfan Why where they using alcohol for bombs?
And most recently (09/12/23) a town in Portugal was flooded by 600,000 gallons of red wine after 2 tanks of wine burst. No one was harmed but one person’s basement was damaged

The Boston Molasses Flood was even crazier than that.
There was an ominous creaking noise coming from the molasses barrel... and no one did anything about it. It was leaking a lot since the barrel wasn't made to hold that much molasses, so random people came up to collect the molasses for themselves. Rather than fix the obvious problem with the leaking, they hired guards to prevent people from "stealing" the molasses.
Sure, you could chalk it up to alcohol, but it had more to do with corporate greed than anything.
@@gregoryford2532 1:00 "As with most things, the answer is alcohol."
...The demand for molasses- sweetened alcohol in the market
And no, I don't think the demand of alcohol is at fault. It's 100% corporate cost-cutting
they also painted the tank brown to hide the leak
When Sam measured the collapsed molasses jar, he staked 4 “Sams” as the unit of measurement.
1/4 of 25 is 6.25, and .25 of 12 is 3
Based on the calculations, Sam is 6’3
Exactly my thoughts

I grew up in Boston, and I remember one time while at the local library they were telling us the molasses story. Suffice to say, I didn’t sleep for three weeks.
Edit: And I nearly forgot to mention the girl who literally started crying when they mentioned all the horses that were put down after they got stuck.

If anyone has come back to this and wants more stories like it, look up flour explosions. From flour mills to bakeries, fear the carbohydrates that are sick of non arson activities. Got to love it.
Absolutely *love* it.
Those are terrifying
don't forget sugar explosions! the average marshmallow has 3x the energy compared to an equal mass of trinitrotoluene, but just burns more slowly because it can't reach much oxygen. powderize that bad boi and you've got a big boom just waiting to happen. now that i think about it, baking is kinda dangerous... surprised i have only gotten a burn on the wrist before.

Same thing that happened to Boston happened in Bundaberg, Australia, except it was an explosion and after the river filled with rum and molasses, it caught fire! The river caught fire!

Red wine flow in Portugal reminded me of this video
Same, returned here looking for this comment
Same
Today, September 11, 2023, a new non-water flood has occurred. Portugal's streets have flooded with over 600,000 gallons of wine. Thought Sam may want to know.
I do believe that’s been featured as a “food heist” on the Intentionally Blank Podcast. Assuming this is the one that was thought to be sabotage.
I unfortunately do not know which episode
"And stained the water of the Boston Harbour brown for months"
That's not the only time it happened.
Well, that time it was an expensive commodity and enjoyed by the upper-class. This one is the things used in making rum, which while pricey it is also somewhat common...
And that time was a product of a political crisis, while this one is just bad luck.
Still, I see your point.
There was a third time. When Boston got its first Taco Bell

1:07 I'd just like to add that, while making rum is definitely the primary use of molasses and certainly the reason they kept such a large tank of the stuff there, it has way more uses than that since it's basically just liquid sugar. Especially in Massachusetts, where as you might expect, there's just so much molasses coming in due to the rum industry.
A town in Portugal yesterday on 9/11/2023 had a winery explosion and red wine flood the streets.

I had originally learned about this event from the last English class I ever learned from (6 years ago) and I've thought about it nearly every day. It's nice to come back to this video and know that there will still be some people who will know what this is when I mention it in passing

@@jeltehoekstra2952 I will tell you that it's also not tasty, unlike what Sam O'Nella implied. It has been a long time since I tried tasting it, but I can tell you that my impression was that it was extremely intense.
I think it should basically be viewed as a concentrate.
Anything tasty made with molasses has the molasses severely diluted.
@@Mythraen I don't even know what molasses is lol

The molasses thing is right near me they said they could smell molasses when they pulled up that road to be repaved about 2-3 years ago and it was like a few years b4 the 100th anniversary also i remember when we were learning about it I'm school (it was one of my science teachers fav cool things to talk about) i looked it up and realized the 100th anniversary was in about a week 7th grade me and a lot of other kids lobbied so hard for a day off and while we didn't succeed in that we got to spend about half the day watching a documentary about it
Edit: Also remember it was a monumental case as it was one of the first times that a company was held accountable and actually sued by citizens for damages (at least if i remember right)

Prussian Eagle no, dont
The reason the molasses went fast was becasue there was a lot of it. Normally molasses is slow, but when you have 2.3 million gallons of the stuff pushing down on itself, the sheer weight of it will cause the otherwise tank-shaped molass-mass to collapse under its own weight and send itself flying everywhere with enough force to knock over trains.
And it was warm. You are, however, still slower than the molasses, *n e r d*
