RE: What's your favorite "History is Stranger than Fiction" moment from world history?

It's not really stranger than fiction specifically, but the black death was crazy. It really was like something from a horror story.
As for something really stranger than fiction; that molasses truck that went up somewhere in America (Boston, was it?) and suffocated so many people. Apparently, you can still faintly smell the aroma in the streets.
One other; the ghostly shadows of Hiroshima. Marks on the ground that remain of the people who happened to be unfortunate enough to be caught in the blast. I heard that they actually detected human DNA within some of the marks. Creepy, huh?
