One hundred years ago today, Boston was struck by a flood that was, well, unique.

The flood was of what SUBSTANCE, which escaped when a tank ruptured, sending out 2 million gallons of the stuff, with a wave that reportedly crested at 40 feet?
The flood killed 21 and caused widespread damage in what NEIGHBORHOOD, which is known now as the home of Boston's Italian community?
In the lawsuits that followed, a judge found that the failure of the tank was (at least in part) due to the brittle steel used in its construction, the same type of steel used to build what SHIP, also known for a very public failure.
What BOSTON AREA NOVELIST included a scene depicting the flood in his novel The Given Day?
Lucius Dillon narrated, Michael McKean played Purity Distilling treasurer Arthur Jell, and Jason Ritter played stonecutter John Barry on a segment about the flood for what COMEDY CENTRAL SHOW?
One theory about the tank is that the owner, Purity Distilling, was increasing production of alcohol in the face of what US CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT (number please!), which was ratified the day after the accident?
The failure of the storage tank seems to have occurred at the base of the tank near a manhole cover, which is where what type of CYLINDRICAL STRESS would be greatest in a filled tank?
Another theory of the failure suggests that a quick rise in temperatures would have boosted fermentation in the tank, increasing the production of what GAS, with a resulting pressure that could have caused the tank to fail?
It was well known that the tank wasn’t built well and leaked constantly. Rather than fix the leaking, the company had the tank painted what COLOR to camouflage the leaking?
The only memorial to the flood is a small green plaque installed by the Bostonian Society, whose main focus is the preservation of what BUILDING, outside of which the Boston Massacre occurred?
While nowhere on the scale of the flood, what US STATE CAPITAL had 1400 tons of molasses, a byproduct of sugar production, spill into its harbor in 2013?
London saw its own deadly flood in 1814 when vats of what BEVERAGE ruptured, spilling nearly 1.5 million liters, killing eight?
