January 15, 1919, was an unseasonably warm day in Boston, Massachusetts, and a day that would go down in history. One minute it was business as usual on the waterfront and the next--KABOOM! A large tank of molasses exploded, sending shards of metal hundreds of feet away, collapsing buildings, and coating the harborfront community with a thick layer of stick-sweet sludge.
