At a London Brewery, Oct 16 1814, a vat of beer burst open and sent a 25-foot tidal wave of beer into the streets drowning 8 people. Many more rushed the streets to scoop up the free beer
 
That was during the massive porter revolution I believe. They had tanks so large they would christen them with dinner and a dance inside!

heart attack is no good, too painful.

in Boston a bunch of people drowned in a wave of molasses in 1919, known as the Great Molasses Flood.

I read that, and wondered just how desperate the people in 1814 were... those were the days of horses in city streets, so there's no telling how much manure got stirred up into the beer flowing in the streets!
