1814: London beer flood kills eight women and children

Quote Of The Day
"All at once, I found myself borne onward with great velocity by a torrent which burst upon me so suddenly as almost to deprive me of breath. A roar as of falling buildings at a distance, and suffocating fumes, were in my ears and nostrils."
(American tourist taking a short-cut behind the Meux brewery)

These giant tanks are filled with sake and belong to the Ozeki sake brewery which is just a two minutes walk from where I live. Should these tanks ever explode, we will be drowned in sake.
