Eight people were once killed in 'beer flood' in London
A three-storey-high tank of beer exploded inside a London brewery 202 years ago on October 17, 1814, resulting in a flood of beer which killed eight people. The explosion of the tank had resulted in leakage of ten lakh litres of beer and a 15 feet high tidal wave. A court later declared the incident as an 'Act of God'.
