Question - 664

What happened here?

Answer: The Boston Molasses disaster - In 1919, a gigantic molasses tank burst open creating a molasses wave over 10 ft tall that was strong enough to hurl trains off their tracks. There is an urban legend that the area still smells of molasses in hot summer days. Ameya, Divya Shankar and apoorv got it. Well done.
