2:10 you mention Dublin but the picture is very far from Dublin
Those poor pigs. But because of them, so many were saved.
Oh, but what a way to go 😉
My sister favored our Irish heritage and liked whiskey while I favored our Ukrainian heritage and liked vodka. Now we both favor tea.
I cannot believe this actually happened!
Only in Dublin it would flood the streets in Whiskey
"Hey there's burning Whiskey flowing through the streets, let's drink it!" isn't something I thought I'd ever hear about.
And today I learned that this happened. And now wonder how I've never heard of it before!
What a story! Basically a flaming flood as bad as a flood of flaming gasoline? I hope whisky storage is much more carefully safe guarded!
Who would've thought that drinking whiskey you scoop into a hat from off the streets could be a bad idea
Only in Ireland.
well, as I always contend, nothing good comes from alcohol……….
This dude really doing a shoe-y with dirty poo whiskey 6:57
Wasn’t there also a wake occurring for a deceased person when the beer flood occurred too? 😅
Tramps. Absolute tramps.
I’m drowning in a whiskey river.
Did you ever do a documentary on the Molasses Flood of 1919?
Saved by horseshit: the one thing that you'd think would CAUSE problems, instead of solving them!
If I had a nickel for every time a flood of alcohol occurred… I’d have two nickels!
I hope I don’t have more nickels I don’t know about.
Cant imagine being so pathetic as to drink gutter booze
