Someone mentioned molasses and I had to look it up.
At the bottom of the page it offered other links, and one was to the Boston Molasses Disaster, so I had to go and see what that was about.
At the bottom of that page it offered other links, and one was to the London Beer Flood, so I had to go and see what that was about too.
It seems that 8 people drowned when 323,000 gallons of beer was lost. Interestingly, another died the following day from alcohol poisoning, so he/she must have captured a fair volume and then had a private party.
