This website focuses on the Great Molasses Flood of 1919, a bizarre yet devastating event in Boston, Massachusetts, where a massive wave of molasses destroyed buildings and claimed lives. Often overlooked in mainstream history, the incident reveals how industrial negligence and lack of regulation can lead to disaster. The aim of this project is to shed light on this lesser-known tragedy through an engaging, interactive format that is both educational and visually compelling.
I chose this topic because it’s a rare example of history that combines industrial, social, and environmental lessons, all from a single catastrophic moment. Most people have never heard of it, and this project serves as a digital memorial and learning tool to ensure the story isn't forgotten. The use of animations, visuals, and concise narrative makes it accessible and informative for all audiences.
