What a sticky situation!

from What Didn't Kill Me · host Sylvia & Jade

In this episode we discuss the world's only molasses flood, and we're not talking about just a warehouse here! We take you back to 1919 and an oh so safe molasses "receptacle" and how nothing can possibly go wrong storing 2 million gallons of molasses! Follow along some of these sticky situations and those that survived a 40 foot wave of syrupy doom! Including one brave 12 year old boy Anthony di Stasio, who manages to cling to safety for as long as his little arms would hold out. Despite this cartoonish concept and the easy jokes (which of course we made due to the absurdity of the event) this is actually a horrific accident that cost a lot property damage and the lives of men, women, children and horses. We also want to point out, this takes place during the "Spanish Flu" and serves as an example of how a pandemic brings out the cartoon character in all of us! (We're looking at you 2020)
