This paper examines two relatively unknown cases involving molasses storage tank collapses: the Boston Molasses Flood of 1919 and the 1998 Ingenio Melchor Ocampo Sugar Mill spill, in Jalisco, Mexico. Together, these two events unleashed millions of gallons of molasses on unsuspecting communities, resulting in loss of life and environmental degradation. This paper includes background regarding small cases, an explanation of the cases, consequences, and ethical issues involved.
