@amazeifystore: The steel itself may have helped turn a tank failure into disaster. 🏗️ In 1919, Boston’s molasses tank burst under the weight of millions of gallons. Later tests found the surviving steel unusually brittle, and the tank had little structural margin for its load. The exact crack sequence is still reconstructed, not witnessed. What do you think mattered most: brittle steel or under-design? #BostonMolassesFlood #Engineering #StructuralEngineering #FailureAnalysis #EngineeringDisasters #History #CivilEngineering #MaterialsScience
