The great Molasses Disaster

That should be plural.

You would think a molasses disaster would be a unique event. However, another molasses disaster occurred in 1932 in Sucarnoochee, Mississippi. Coincidentally, that one killed the same number of people, 21.

At approximately 2 p.m. on the afternoon of December 11, 1932, a worker at the Macgillicuddy plant accidentally closed a steam escape valve that should have never been closed except during maintenance on the boilers. Tremendous pressure built up inside Boiler No. 2, and within seconds the powerful coal-fired boiler exploded, collapsing the scaffold above it that supported the main molasses refining tank. The tank, loosed of its moorings, tipped sideways and crashed into the east wall of the plant, shattering through the bricks and dumping its full contents--2,000,000 gallons of boiling molasses--onto Main Street.

Well, it wouldn't be drowning, more like boiling to death.

Your corpse would make one hell of a confection, though
