      Also, according to that wiki, the molasses moved at 35 miles an hour. I think we can call that saying myth busted

        iirc the molasses had been warmed for pumping into the tank

        But when it came out it cooled pretty quickly, trapping whoever was unfortunate enough to be caught in it.
