Welcome to Dark Dives, a new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of humanity.

The Great Molasses Flood sounds like something out of a cartoon, but it’s not. This very real, very deadly tidal wave of molasses raced through Boston in the early 1900s, killing and injuring any Bostonians in its path. Over a hundred years later, this incident can still teach us about poor regulatory measures and the sour situations we may find ourselves in as a result of them.
