Found some more info: the original tank was cylinder-shaped, 50ft tall, 90ft in diameter, and contained 2.3M gallons of product. Some pics of what it looked like before the explosion…
That was a sticky situation.
Protest The Hero - All Hands great song about the tragedy.
This is the kind of thing I want to watch recreated with a liquid of the same viscocity. Well not the people dying part but it falling apart
Did they change the way they store it now, since this happen?
Well, one of the causes of the flood was that, even by 1919 standards, the storage tank wasn’t up to code, and the corporation involved deliberately ignored and hid signs of imminent failure.
That one person in the bottom middle in all white made terrible wardrobe choices that day.
1919 ,hum ,Where’s black/ white picture
