Molasses and Sharks


Imagine a jar of molasses...24 ounces of sticky goodness.  Now multiply that by 1.19 million and you will have how much molasses was spilled into the waters off of Hawaii: 223,000 gallons.  The spill has killed thousands of fish and the massive die-off could attract sharks, which is not the sweet treat anyone was expecting. 

This week, as look at molasses and sharks.
