In Tampa
00:06
Actually a St. Petersburg woman
00:08
Arrested for battery
00:09
Ooh
00:11
Hot grits
00:14
That sounds painful
00:16
She bashed her boyfriend
00:18
Over the head
00:19
With a pan and then
00:22
Covered him in hot grits
00:24
That's
00:24
Gotta be like napalm
00:26
That's what I was gonna say
00:27
Hot grits is one of the worst hot foods
00:29
Cause it's gonna stick to you right
00:31
It's like cream of wheat
00:32
Yeah I'm not a fan of grits
00:35
In any way
00:36
Think of a worse hot food
00:39
To be thrown on you
00:40
What's worse
00:42
I don't think much
00:45
Because it's got that sticky
00:46
Hot caramel
00:47
Like really hot caramel
00:51
Yeah like scalding hot caramel
00:53
Being poured over your head
00:55
Someone said
00:57
Is this true?
00:58
Lots of people died in Boston
00:59
From a molasses flood
01:00
I remember that
01:02
There is a
01:03
There is a
01:03
There was like a big
01:04
A molasses
01:05
There's like a molasses factory there
01:07
That had a problem
01:08
That's a bad one
01:09
There it is
01:10
The great Boston molasses flood
01:12
Of 1919
01:13
What?
01:14
Oh my goodness
01:15
How horrible
01:17
You're
01:17
Sticky to death
01:18
Look at how much there was
01:20
Oh my god
01:21
It's like a river's worth
01:22
Of molasses
01:23
It occurred on January 15th
01:25
1919
01:26
In the north end of Boston
01:28
The great molasses flood
01:29
Also known as the
01:30
Boston molasses disaster
01:31
Oh my god
01:32
People ask
01:33
Can you still smell molasses
01:35
In Boston?
01:35
How many died?
01:36
A 40 foot wave of molasses
01:39
Buckled the railroad tracks
01:41
Crushed buildings
01:42
And inundated the neighborhood
01:44
Local legend has it
01:46
On particularly warm days
01:47
You can still smell the faint aroma
01:50
Of molasses
01:50
Seeping up from the streets
01:52
Of the old north end
01:53
All I can think of
01:54
It's a tragedy
01:55
So it's not funny
01:56
But it's all I can think of
01:57
Is move your ass
01:57
It's molasses
01:58
Can you imagine a 40
02:02
Move your ass
02:03
It's molasses
02:04
I don't know why
02:05
I feel like the slowest
02:07
40 foot wave
02:08
Is coming at me
02:09
Ah
02:10
Molasses wave
02:13
Ah
02:14
Run
02:15
Run
02:15
I think we got some time
02:17
Right
02:17
Is it coming?
02:18
It's huge
02:19
It's huge
02:19
It's 40 feet high
02:21
Oh my god
02:22
It's taken a long time
02:23
It's so slow
02:24
It's unstoppable though
02:25
We can't stop it
02:25
But it's huge
02:26
Oh wait
02:27
There go the train tracks
02:28
It's gonna knock the train over
02:29
Is it molasses
02:30
You think?
02:31
It has to be
02:32
It smells like it
02:33
Save your asses
02:34
He keeps yelling it
02:37
He's like
02:37
I'm going to be here
02:38
Yeah
02:39
He's like
02:40
Save your asses
02:42
Molasses
02:42
Thank you Paul
02:44
Thank you Paul
02:48
That man saved our life
02:50
That day
02:51
That's a crazy disaster
02:53
That is nice
02:53
21 people died
02:55
21 people
02:55
How did they die though
02:57
And a bunch of people
02:58
Are saying
02:58
Yes you can still smell it
03:00
I bet you can
03:01
You can't get rid of molasses
03:02
On hot days
03:02
Absolutely
03:03
You can't get rid of molasses
03:06
That smell
03:08
Wow
03:10
Cylinder stress failure caused it
03:15
So it was a gigantic
03:17
A 40 foot wave
03:18
No I know
03:19
But how big was this
03:21
Oil drum
03:21
Look at the pictures
03:22
Of it
03:22
It's devastating
03:23
It was
03:24
Of molasses
03:25
These people didn't stand a chance
03:28
Against this molasses
03:29
No they didn't
03:30
What a crazy disaster
03:31
Like honestly
03:33
One of the weirdest disasters
03:34
In American history right
03:35
Yes
03:35
The Boston molasses flood
03:36
Was it hot though
03:38
I wonder if it was hot
03:40
Or
03:41
Is molasses just like
03:42
Brown sugar
03:43
And butter
03:44
Or something
03:45
People said it was boiling hot
03:46
At the time
03:47
Oh my god
03:47
So it cooked some people
03:49
Jesus on earth
03:50
Move your asses
03:51
It's hot molasses
03:52
It's hot molasses
03:53
Well
03:55
Save your own asses
03:56
Yeah
03:56
Hopefully these people
03:59
Hopefully it was just over quick
04:00
Right
04:01
Because I don't want
04:02
A hot sticky bubbly death
04:03
Was there survivors
04:05
Of the molasses disaster
04:06
Oh sure
04:06
Absolutely
04:07
That like ever did an interview
04:08
There's books written about it
04:09
How do you clean that up
04:11
What a mess
04:12
I think you just
04:13
Turn the water on
04:14
150 injured
04:17
Oh my
04:18
So 150
04:18
Around lunchtime
04:19
A giant tank of molasses
04:21
Burst open in Boston's
04:22
North End
04:22
More than 2 million gallons
04:24
Of thick liquid
04:25
Poured out like a tsunami wave
04:27
Reaching speeds
04:29
Of up to 35 miles an hour
04:30
It flooded streets
04:31
Crushed buildings
04:32
Trapped horses
04:33
In an event
04:34
That ultimately killed
04:35
21 people
04:35
And injured 150
04:36
The smell of molasses
04:38
Lingered for decades
04:39
And some people saying
04:40
They can still smell it
04:42
You wouldn't think molasses
04:44
Would move that quickly
04:45
No you wouldn't
04:46
Yeah no
04:46
But just the
04:47
The amount of it
04:49
The sheer amount
04:50
Like a tsunami
04:52
Of sweet
04:53
Brown sticky
04:54
Molasses
04:55
It's crazy
04:56
I think we got that
04:57
Figured out
04:57
I know
04:58
To the bottom of it
04:59
Never let that happen again
05:01
Yeah there's probably
05:03
Like a limit
05:04
On how big
05:04
Your molasses tanks
05:05
Can be
05:06
Also
05:06
Is there anything
05:07
Used less now
05:08
Than molasses
05:09
Someone said
05:10
Walk for your lives
05:12
Walk for your lives
05:14
It's slowly coming
05:17
Yeah
05:17
Yeah
05:19
I love the idea
05:22
Of slow molasses
05:23
I mean we realize
05:24
It was not slow
05:25
Yes but
05:26
It seems like
05:26
It would be slow
05:27
Slow molasses
05:28
Seems like it should be
05:29
In the American history books
05:31
Absolutely
05:31
We know about the tea party
05:33
And that was barely anything
05:34
Yeah
05:35
Compared to this
05:36
Didn't I mean
05:36
The tea party
05:37
I believe it started it all
05:39
But
05:39
You talk about the
05:40
Boston Massacre Dave
05:41
Yes
05:42
Yes
05:42
That's what I meant
05:43
Sorry
05:43
Amber was so disappointed
05:47
They call it a massacre
05:48
And only
05:48
You know
05:49
Oh yeah yeah
05:50
This could have been
05:50
The molasses massacre
05:51
Yeah
05:52
To me that's a bigger deal
05:53
Oh sure
05:54
She'll love the carnage
05:55
That's true
05:57
Deserving
05:58
Yeah no it's not good
05:59
So there you go
