What a shame that the cheese and red wine flood didn't happen at the same time. It would've been a feast!

Book your time travellers grand tour feast of flood beer, butter, cheese, whiskey, wine and chocolate.

For the cheaper package, there's the toxic runoff, coal and radioactive material tour.

For a time in middle school, my brother's personality could be summed up by "Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919"... He learned it in a book somewhere and thought it was the funniest thing and just brought it up all the time, drew pictures and comics of it, and just generally was a molasses-themed menace.

Molten chocolate and butter probably smelled delicious

50% of the list is "The great chocolate and beer flood, where everyone got drunk and full." And the other half is "The terrible toxic fossils fuel slip or ecological disaster and death", except both have equal deaths.
