It's an anniversary most do not remember. They should. It was a loss almost beyond words.
It started with 3,555 barrels of beer in one large vat. THREE THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY FIVE! Do you have any idea how many six-packs that is? How many olympic-sized swimming pools that represents?
And then several other vats go.
The horror!
http://www.3ammagazine.com/short_stories/non-fict/truetales/beerflood.html Yeah, a few people died. And most of them died from causes other than drowning.
But, beer in the streets deep enough to be scooped up in pots and pans?
(Be sure to check out the cause of the hospital riot.)
stay safe.
