I remember briefly covering this event in a History of New England class. If I recall, some jackass pumped a bunch of hot molassas into the tank before it was sufficiently cooled and the hot sauce caused the metal to expand thus compromising the structural integreity of the tank to where it ate shite and washed out a couple blocks' worth of people.
cause I'm nerd like that, and the source of all major fuckups in life is some Jackass not following directions.
