In all, 21 people died and 150 were injured. The incident is variously known as the Boston Molasses Disaster, the Great Molasses Flood and the Great Boston Molasses Tragedy.

Federal Workers Declare Five-Alarm Fire at Agencies
Posted On: Sep 24, 2025
Sept. 24, 2025 | FEDERAL WORKERS | Braving retaliation, thousands of federal workers across six agencies have signed open letters charging that their workplaces are being hamstrung or dismantled by the Trump administration. They join federal unionists at dozens more workplaces who have been sounding the alarm to Congress and the public. … The unprecedented public letters from workers at FEMA, NASA, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control express outrage and dismay that their work protecting the public is being wrecked by know-nothing administrators and trashed by political lackeys.
