News of the Times Short #115 | 1814
Dead bodies in a sea of beer 15 feet high and 1 million litres
This famous case of an exploding 22 foot beer vat, and the subsequent impact of neighbouring beer vats, caused the death of 9 people in total and collapsed a roof.
The image of dead bodies floating in a sea of beer is hard to imagine. Them trying to save the ber for use later is possibly even worse!

Who are News of the Times?
Combining a background in Theatre, Psychology, History and English Literature, The News of the Times Team comb through archives to find stories that reflect the everyday person of the time. We look for stories that were trending, or reflect what was consuming people of the day.
We also sometimes go back to specifically look for articles which take on greater meaning from a historical standpoint. Jack the Ripper Stories, at the time known as The Whitechapel Murders, is one example.
