A little note that's often missed about the Dublin whiskey fire: It wasn't the same stuff you'd buy off the shelves that they were drinking. It was *undiluted* whiskey. That's why it was so flammable and that's why so many died from alcohol poisoning. People only drank what was to them a safe amount, but since it was undiluted, the alcohol content was several times more than that.
Yes! Most of them only had one drink of it actually because it was on fire. Or it had recently been actively burning and was still extremely hot. And it burned them severely when they swallowed it, which aided in killing them, and prevented them from drinking any more. But the truth is always less entertaining than a manipulation of it.
And most recently (09/12/23) a town in Portugal was flooded by 600,000 gallons of red wine after 2 tanks of wine burst. No one was harmed but one person’s basement was damaged

When Sam measured the collapsed molasses jar, he staked 4 “Sams” as the unit of measurement. 1/4 of 25 is 6.25, and .25 of 12 is 3 Based on the calculations, Sam is 6’3
Eh, they're very predictable. "In short, (briefly summarizes the topic of the video and uses something to describe it). Hey! you know what else is (adjective used to describe said topic)!? *sponsor begins*''
The first story is one that I read during school.. the way the tank “fell over” is that a bolt that helped keep it together, popped off. The citizens said that it was so loud that it sounds like a gunshot. Moments after, many other bolts popped off and it basically exploded..
If anyone has come back to this and wants more stories like it, look up flour explosions. From flour mills to bakeries, fear the carbohydrates that are sick of non arson activities. Got to love it.
don't forget sugar explosions! the average marshmallow has 3x the energy compared to an equal mass of trinitrotoluene, but just burns more slowly because it can't reach much oxygen. powderize that bad boi and you've got a big boom just waiting to happen. now that i think about it, baking is kinda dangerous... surprised i have only gotten a burn on the wrist before.
if it's on fire with glass shards, chances are it's free. free is free. enjoy the falling of your civilization as you know it, so long as you're drunk doing it.
@Gacha is Controlling your kids you're telling people to stfu and making fun of people for liking different things than you so I wouldn't say you're the pinnacle of maturity
I just realized, the fact that Sam used 4 of himselfs as measurement for 25ft means that's he's 6'3, which is terrifying. I always imagined him as like, your average high school student that puts in a little extra work outside of class, not my stepdad. Goodness me.
"Slower than Molasses in January" - Molasses is a very thick liquid that moves slowly even in moderate temperatures, and "January" implies that it's freezing cold outside, where you would have Molasses. Making Molasses cold will make it move even slower.
looking initially at the title and thumbnail, i honestly thought this video was going to be sam talking for 7+ minutes about his experiences at taco bell but this is interesting too i suppose
I grew up in Boston, and I remember one time while at the local library they were telling us the molasses story. Suffice to say, I didn’t sleep for three weeks. Edit: And I nearly forgot to mention the girl who literally started crying when they mentioned all the horses that were put down after they got stuck. Moral of the Story: stay out of libraries
Another fun part of the molasses flood: it was from a factory that was making molasses, so it was still hot. Like, very hot. Melt your skin off kinda of hot. Fun times.
Nope the malaasses was from Caribbean sugar producers it was used as feedstock for making industrial alcohol. It was also to be the last time that tank was filled.
This comment section is always full of sarcastic and witty comments..so I don’t know if I believe you. But I sure hope it’s true because that’s hilarious

Especially in Massachusetts, where as you might expect, there's just so much molasses coming in due to the rum industry.
The reason the molasses went fast was becasue there was a lot of it. Normally molasses is slow, but when you have 2.3 million gallons of the stuff pushing down on itself, the sheer weight of it will cause the otherwise tank-shaped molass-mass to collapse under its own weight and send itself flying everywhere with enough force to knock over trains.

Dubliners will find a way to turn any situation into alcohol fuelled degeneracy. It snowed alot last year and about 20 people took the fact no police could get out in cars too knock down an entire supermarket with a digger.
Today, September 11, 2023, a new non-water flood has occurred. Portugal's streets have flooded with over 600,000 gallons of wine. Thought Sam may want to know.
I do believe that’s been featured as a “food heist” on the Intentionally Blank Podcast. Assuming this is the one that was thought to be sabotage. I unfortunately do not know which episode
@@datshotgun5795 it was just a joke, i live in phoenix arizona and 1 warning doesnt mean shit, a bad storm here can get like 12 warnings in a couple hours
Not so fun fact, the bolts that held the tank together shot out so quickly, that it was just as dangerous as a bullet. *I did a report on it a few days ago lol*
Nice list, but you completely forgot about young Jimmy Stavez of Jupiter Florida, who in 2015 subscribed to thirty two hundred UA-cam channel and was tragically killed by a flood of content when they all uploaded at once.
I am from Brazil. A few years ago the city of Niteroi, adjacent to the city of Rio de Janeiro, had an event we call "Tsumerda", translating it means "Tsushit". The walls of a sewage treatment plant broke and a huge wave of sewage came down the streets carrying cars and whatever was on its way. Incredibly, the same city had a similar catastrophe a few years back. There was a considerably large hill that was formed from an abandoned landfill, and people started to build houses on that land. During one day of heavy rain a piece of this hill came down in an avalanche of garbage. Quite a few people died on this day.
I live in Boston, so the Molasses really hits home. We have a memorial, and yesterday(Jan.15th) was the 100th anniversary(2019;100yrs). God bless those souls.
I live in Sacramento, and yes, our Chuck E. Cheese’s ball pit is the 4 stickiest place on Earth. It’s essentially the La Brea Tar Pit for 4 to 7 year olds.
@@FluffiestBunBuns No. You're more likely to drown in a ball pit than in water. I almost "drowned" in one because my foot got stuck on something. This was when I was 9. Anyways, you wouldn't believe the disgusting shit that was in the ball pit since no one has the balls to clean them.
The Soviet Doggo. Yeah, the lady only wanted McDonalds to pay for her medical bill but they only offered to pay $88 I think. When she won the court case, McDonalds started making all kinds of bad things about her. And you can still find the reference in some movies today I think
@@cameronducote7335 pretty much anyone i know who talks about it believes the lies. It amazes me how people never bother to look at what actually happened
Anna G Yeah it’s literally insane, she didn’t actually sue them a ridiculous amount of money to get that much - or because she was being petty - it was because it was genuinely too hot, and because in order to settle the case and get a decent amount of money for her medical bills she had to sue that much. I hate that everyone just started believing that she was overreacting.
I read about the molasses flood not long ago. It wasn't easy trying to be respectful for the victims when my evil brain wanted to make silly jokes like "now that was a sticky situation".

pin this
Could only be an improvement on our current situation
Better add Diddy's house to that list 2:54
Nah with all the baby oil nothing can stick
Who’s Diddy?
I'm pretty sure, from experience, the Chuck E. Cheese ball pit is *the* stickiest place on Earth.
that can be taken in wildly different ways
Soy Sauze your moms room
Tfw it's the one nearest me
Imagine how much sweat, saliva, boogers, earwax, and semen would be in there. Don't forget the cheese and soda.
Have you ever been to a Golden Corral?
I haven't. Got stuck in the parking lot.
Totally deserved #1 trending of the day.
The amount of ants that would arrive because of the molasses
The Derp Chaos you edited your comment yet you still missed “because of from”
rock hard memes. thanks for the info gonna remove my like from his comment
The Derp Chaos they all probably like drowned or something
The perfection of this bad grammar being from someone called "Derp Chaos" is biblical
The Derp Chaos wouldnt they get stuck in the molaaaes
Me rewatching all of Sam's videos so I'm caught up on the lore:
Dead guy: How did you die?
Person who died: I drowned In molasses
*pays respects in New Englandian*
If you think about it this could be the same dead guy talking to himself in the afterlife equivalent of an insane asylum.
Another person who died: bish please my town was full of burning whiskey so I drank it all
@@lilygrey854 jesus christ
Dead guy: oh cool I drowned in whiskey
Just minding your own business and *WHAM*
A giant wave of fire comes down
AND PEOPLE START DRINKING IT
Well free drinks are free drinks even if they are on fire
Dubliners will find a way to turn any situation into alcohol fuelled degeneracy. It snowed alot last year and about 20 people took the fact no police could get out in cars too knock down an entire supermarket with a digger.
Well it was Ireland
I’m Irish, I endorse this comment.
Crack open a hot one with the boys

Today, September 11, 2023, a new non-water flood has occurred. Portugal's streets have flooded with over 600,000 gallons of wine. Thought Sam may want to know.
I do believe that’s been featured as a “food heist” on the Intentionally Blank Podcast. Assuming this is the one that was thought to be sabotage.
I unfortunately do not know which episode
30 seconds into the video and I get a flash flood warning lmao
@@datshotgun5795 it was just a joke, i live in phoenix arizona and 1 warning doesnt mean shit, a bad storm here can get like 12 warnings in a couple hours
Were you playing Roblox, survive natural disasters?
@@Boomer8824 I live a couple hours north of Phoenix, and that damn true.
Boomer8824 bruh in New Mexico we get a tornado warning everyday

Thanks. See you in a month.
Unintelligent piece of Human good things need time to develop :)))
DJ Pink for a second I thought you were roasting the crap outta him 💀
*year
Not so fun fact, the bolts that held the tank together shot out so quickly, that it was just as dangerous as a bullet.
*I did a report on it a few days ago lol*
5:21 “Good Morning America” *Is in The U.K*
U.K. is just boneless U.S.
Blader God Fucking Dammit.
Hello fellow nazi. Hail Hydra
Maybe he's from America and is reporting in the UK for the US
Wait was that some smear frames at 0:31? What is this production value?
This is why I wait for the annual Samonella video.
Talking about frames... down throw side B
It's literally ms paint his production value isn't too high
what are you new to sam o nella
ANOTHER ONE AT 3:34 HOLY SHIT
So, apparently Sam is 6'3"
One step closer to finding you irl
Before that gets flamed, I used a dead meme, on a dead meme
@@vandread go back to... uh, something. I don't know. I don't care. Im contributing nothing.
@@PR0V1D3NCE_VA 4chan or any other of the channels
that was very helpful thank you

Honestly when I first heard about the molasses flood I pictured a single barrel of molasses falling over and somehow destroying a town
you should sell stickers with your drawings of animals
Capitan Kaktus this doesnt have enough upvotes i would buy so many of those
I want a sticker of the happy 4-legged fire.
Nice list, but you completely forgot about young Jimmy Stavez of Jupiter Florida, who in 2015 subscribed to thirty two hundred UA-cam channel and was tragically killed by a flood of content when they all uploaded at once.
Also he was shot, but I like to think it was the content that killed him.
good ole florida man
He forgot the flood of blood from my puss puss.
@@HardlegGaming interesting to see you here.
@@hernameisprinback1828 what the hell?
i haven't watched the vid yet but i sure hope there's not a poop flood
Mmm poop flood
@Nostalgia For Infinity I was just about to say... I mean, it would of just been based of what I saw on Horrible Histories a few years back
If it were, we'd be in some deep shit
@@neptune8082 underrated reply
Keira Garner wow same. and there was that game on the website where u had to catch the shit falling out the windows
Need to come back to this vid Sam, new flood of red wine happened
I am from Brazil. A few years ago the city of Niteroi, adjacent to the city of Rio de Janeiro, had an event we call "Tsumerda", translating it means "Tsushit". The walls of a sewage treatment plant broke and a huge wave of sewage came down the streets carrying cars and whatever was on its way. Incredibly, the same city had a similar catastrophe a few years back. There was a considerably large hill that was formed from an abandoned landfill, and people started to build houses on that land. During one day of heavy rain a piece of this hill came down in an avalanche of garbage. Quite a few people died on this day.
Funny.

Both sound like something out of Idocracy. Horrible mismanagement at the higher levels.
TSUMERDA
And the company responsible for it still hasn't been sued properly...
fuck
I literally cannot imagine that much molasses...how big was the tank?!
Roughly 2.8 Sam o nellas wide
Big
Zack Durrant Woah
Roughly 2.3 million gallons.
Around one bajilion cubed kilometers
I live in Boston, so the Molasses really hits home. We have a memorial, and yesterday(Jan.15th) was the 100th anniversary(2019;100yrs). God bless those souls.
Blue 3528 wait is molasses the thing you put in cookies?
@@chrishansen4698 yellow
Just eat your way out smh
Boston represent
Chris Hansen yeah it can be, it is also what is in brown sugar
Came back here after hearing about the wine flood in Portugal on Sunday. They continue today!
I live in Sacramento, and yes, our Chuck E. Cheese’s ball pit is the 4 stickiest place on Earth. It’s essentially the La Brea Tar Pit for 4 to 7 year olds.
I've never seen a ball pit in my life. Do they even get cleaned? Do the balls ever get replaced?
@@FluffiestBunBuns
No. You're more likely to drown in a ball pit than in water. I almost "drowned" in one because my foot got stuck on something. This was when I was 9. Anyways, you wouldn't believe the disgusting shit that was in the ball pit since no one has the balls to clean them.
I live in sacramento too. Every child play places are sticky. 10/10 sticky and yucky .
I live in Sacramento too ! Cali Capital !!! But I’ve never seen a ball pit In person
It be stikkkyyy
5:54 this court case showed that the coffee was about 185 degrees Fahrenheit and made the lady suffer 2nd degree burns. Yeahhhhhhhhhh
The Soviet Doggo. Yeah, the lady only wanted McDonalds to pay for her medical bill but they only offered to pay $88 I think. When she won the court case, McDonalds started making all kinds of bad things about her. And you can still find the reference in some movies today I think
@@cameronducote7335 pretty much anyone i know who talks about it believes the lies. It amazes me how people never bother to look at what actually happened
Anna G Yeah it’s literally insane, she didn’t actually sue them a ridiculous amount of money to get that much - or because she was being petty - it was because it was genuinely too hot, and because in order to settle the case and get a decent amount of money for her medical bills she had to sue that much. I hate that everyone just started believing that she was overreacting.
@@faun7179 plus her lawyer fees for having to sue them in the first place!
Anna G exactly!
Americans:*drowning in molasses*
Canadians:*drowing in maple syrup*
me an intellect: drowning in soda
JustFor TheLOLZ learn to spell btw not funny
your names fit with your comments
Scotland: *Gulps down flood of flaming alcohol and subsequently dies from alcohol poison*
Plot twist, the great Canadian maple syrup heist was actually an attempted mass murder plan
On yet another binge now he’s back
Sam o nella is just vsauce but instead it's replaced with shower thoughts. And then he puts research into those shower thoughts.
And VSauce isn't basically just shower thoughts?
What if there the same person...
Salmonella also brings up fucked up topics
Vsauce music start's playing
20 seconds in the video and I already learned something
Earth is wet and wild
Giggity
3:45 dang if only Michael Malloy was there he would drank it all and asked for more
His liver would probably give out on him
@@actung4044 perhaps
Or hey what about tarrare :^
@@Dias_With_Sun Terrare would’ve eaten the whole town and wash it down with the alcohol
@@brysonhieb2378 lol he would
Ohhh boy, one could say that this video aged like "wine".
HES BACK!!!

Did You *SEE* That Hand animation tho?!
*smear frames.*
Wow nice eye sight

That's where all the budget go to
Ever heard of skill share

Got a charmin: Ultra-soft ad before this video and I gotta tell you, it really set the mood.
I read about the molasses flood not long ago. It wasn't easy trying to be respectful for the victims when my evil brain wanted to make silly jokes like "now that was a sticky situation".
You can hear it in his voice his sanity is slipping
Wait that would imply that he ever had any?
This channel isn’t complete until he covers the 1904 Olympics Marathon
Man
what happened?
I’m intrigued
@@kittykittybangbang9367 there's a channel called Blue Jay who did a video on it. He also does videos like Sam O'nella.
@@iberianslivestreams9597 I don’t think that answers the question

Red wine flow in Portugal reminded me of this video
Same, returned here looking for this comment

When you realize every flood was related to alcohol.
lve noticed a pattern after the first 2
Yeah, video should have been called 'history's worst alcohol floods'.
@@mattevans4377 Molassis isnt alcohol
@@are3287 true, but they were storing the molasses for, you guessed it, alcohol
What about lava? It’s slow but I guess you could call it a non-water flood?
