 1906年戈巴尔斯威士忌大水灾

Paul King

在研究我们关于1814年伦敦啤酒洪水的文章时,我们惊讶地发现,这并不是袭击英国伟大城市之一的唯一与酒精有关的灾难。

建于1826年的Loch Katrine (Adelphi)蒸馏厂位于格拉斯哥Gorbals区的Muirhead街。 1906年,正是在这个蒸馏厂,一场不幸的事故导致超过15万加仑的热威士忌被大水淹没。 洪水同时吞没了蒸馏厂的院子和邻近的街道。 一名男子被淹死,许多其他人幸运地逃过一劫。

1906年11月21日清晨,酒厂的一个巨大的洗桶倒塌了,释放出大量的红热威士忌。 这个大桶容纳了大约50,000加仑的液体,位于建筑的顶层。 随着洗桶的破裂,它又带走了另外两个巨大的洗桶,一种发酵的液体,酒精度约为7-10%。 现在,这些大量的威士忌流向了通过该建筑进入地下室,那里是麦芽垃圾房。

在外面的街道上,一些推着小车的农场仆人正等着取牛粪做饲料。 热酒的浪潮砸向他们,把人和马扔到街道对面,他们在酒精混合物中挣扎到腰部。 现在,牛粪已被加入混合物中,洪水变成了液体胶水的浓度。

警察迅速赶到现场。 首先被救出的两名受害者是大卫-辛普森和威廉-奥哈拉。 这两个人当时在地下室的吊脚楼里,激流把他们冲到了街上。 热烈的威士忌混合液的力量使一个人的一半衣服被冲走。

唯一的死亡者是来自巴斯比Hyndland农场的农场仆人詹姆斯-巴兰坦(James Ballantyne)。 他遭受了严重的内伤,在进入医务室后不久就死亡。

有许多人幸运地逃了出来。 流动的液体块击中了位于酒厂后面的烤房。 一个人被甩到了墙上,在由此产生的恐慌中,其他的人很难逃出来。 一些烤房的设备被扫到了烤房的地板上,楼梯倒塌了。 四个被困在楼上的人不得不从窗户跳出来逃生。

穆尔黑德街64号的老妇人玛丽-安-多兰(Mary Ann Doran)当时正坐在她的厨房里,一股巨大的威士忌、渣滓、砖块和碎片淹没了这个房间。 在试图从窗户爬出去后,她终于设法从门里逃了出来。

卡特林湖酒厂于次年的1907年关闭。
