@mr.skip101: Skipped Class #2: When 2.3 Million Gallons of Molasses Drowned Boston In 1919, a steel tank in Boston's North End burst and sent a 35-mile-per-hour wave of molasses through the streets. 21 people were killed, 150 injured — and the owners painted the tank brown to hide the leaks. This is the Great Molasses Flood, and no, your textbook never mentioned it. What is the strangest disaster YOUR teacher never told you about? Comment it below — the best ones become future episodes. Class dismissed. — Mr. Skip #History #historytok #weirdhistory #learnontiktok
