As far as dying goes, this seems like a pretty decent way to go for most people. On October 17th 1814 there was an accident in England's capital which is now known as the London Beer Flood. A broken vat at the brewery in Tottenham flooded the local area with a tidal wave upto15 feet high with a density of over one million liters of beer. This disaster killed eight people and caused a lot of damage and destruction to local buildings, including people's houses. Some people drowned and others died from the impact of being hit by the tidal wave or pushed into debris and surrounding buildings. The town kept quiet in order to hear the cries of people who were hurt in the accident so that they could be saved.
