I am a terrible human being, because I find that description very funny.
«The collapse unleashed an immense wave of molasses between 8 and 15
ft (2.5 to 4.5 m) high, moving at 35 mph (56 km/h) and exerting a
pressure of 2 ton/ft² (200 kPa).»
Did Wikipedia exist in 1919? I can just imagine a bunch of Wikipedia
editors running from the wave while arguing about the best way to
measure its velocity.
