The result was a flash flood consisting of are in order of the stops millions of gallons of sweet, sticky, deadly goo. A tidal wave rushed through the streets at 35 mph demolishing entire buildings. It upended vehicles and buried horses. People tried to outrun the torrent, but were overtaken and either hurled against solid objects or drowned where they fell. More than 150 people were injured. 21 were killed. The clean up took 2 weeks. Then lawsuits began.
