![]() Said workers have been rumored to be sexually frustrated thanks to the clean-up operations, since the perfume they bore literally stuck to their body, effectively repelling their female counterparts. Workers shoveled molasses ad nauseam for weeks, dipping their muffins in it during their pauses. Something you just don't hear everyday: "Heads up! Molasses wave incoming!" ~ Some survivor who took the plunge Aftermath “Myf throaf if cloffgned! Fuffing foflasses!” I miraculously managed to survive because I was riding the wave's top *munch-munch* *slurp* therefore staying afloat the whole time! I then rescued a lady who was stuck in it *scrountch-scrountch* *burp* Sorry, could I have some more milk to go with this?” “Well, when the molasses came gushing by two hours ago *munch-munch* I was on my way to the restaurant. ~ Author Stephen Puelo on how that damn mixture is out to get you Human beings - men and women - suffered likewise.” The more they struggled, the deeper in the mess they were ensnared. Horses died like so many flies on sticky fly-paper. Only an upheaval, a thrashing about in the sticky mass, showed where any life was. Here and there struggled a form - whether it was animal or human being was impossible to tell. ![]() “Molasses, waist deep, covered the street and swirled and bubbled about the wreckage. Some witnesses came forward with shocking descriptions of the event: Witnesses' accountĪ Bostonian gets out of his house and sees the wave coming. The fishing industry in the area collapsed due to the fish' unpalatable taste and the boats attempting vainly to navigate in the thick oily garbage. The more moderate part of the muck deliberately missed its intended human targets by making a beeline for the nearby ocean, refusing to kill mere mortals to make a revolutionary statement. Some profiteering bastards living on the implicated buildings' second floor could be seen frantically trying to butter their sliced bread with the molasses that was gushing by their street. The avenging charge flowed forth exerting a pressure of 2 ton/ft 2, mercilessly engulfing humans, pets, and even a lawyer, therefore proving that it had a softer side. The mere mortals on the scene just stood there paralyzed with fear, trembling before the mighty wave that consumed everything in its path. Onlookers who didn't take a dive reported that the muck's rage was so intense that it made the ground tremble and the racket the tank rivets produced when giving way sounded like the Thunder God himself was liberating His children in a stupendous move of Fury. The substance broke free in a victorious howl that could be heard for miles: the storage tank literally exploded and the rebellious liquid rushed out, forming a vengeful tsunami that managed to lift a nearby train off its tracks. ![]() The infamous tank that was no match against the molasses' revolt. This has to be one of the strangest and most peculiar disaster in American History, along with the 2007 MTV Awards Britney Spears fiasco. The sudden outburst killed 21 people and injured 150 others. The Molasses Liberation Army had finally seen the day, and was turning the tides of years of confinement as a symbolic gesture for all the exploited and illegally held liquids all across the world. The newly liberated substance gushed in the streets at lightning speed with a roar that struck the surviving witnesses as a war chant of utmost joy and euphoria. On 15 January 1919, an enormous storage tank containing more than 2 million gallons of the treacherous syrup burst in Boston's Harbor. The Boston Molasses Disaster officially marked the day when Bostonians became sick and tired with the toast's seasoning: they just had seen (and smelled) more than enough for a lifetime. “ Everything is about moderation: a little molasses on your bread is healthy for you a 15 foot high wave of it rushing at you at 35 mph isn't.” People coming from all over Massachusetts replenish their stock. The Disaster's aftermath: the syrupy substance shamelessly sticks to witness the devastation it caused.
