Yes, an actual tsunami of sticky syrup tore through a city neighbourhood.

Simon walks you through the day a two‑million‑gallon storage tank burst, sending a wave of molasses up to 40 feet high rushing through the streets at around 35 mph. Along the way, we explore how cutting corners, dodgy construction, and a bit of bad luck turned an everyday industrial product into a lethal force.

A Point in Time blends vivid storytelling with real history—covering what happened, why it happened, the people caught up in it, and how a sticky mess helped change safety regulations for good.
