Mysterious Smell in Manhattan

Workers who were forced outside for fear of some sort of a gas leak...



Theories? I say it's whatever is living underneath the Donald's hair.

By the time I woke up this morning, Bloomberg had already had his press release saying nothing's wrong. I never smelled anything, but I haven't been outside yet. Will find out in a few minutes...

And the toxic fumes we breathe are mostly carbon monoxide -- no smell at all!

Bloomberg: No Danger From Natural Gas Odor

Bloomberg also said there was no indication the air was unsafe to breathe. "It may just be an unpleasant smell."

"We are waiting for the gas to pass," the mayor said.

Wowsers! I called THAT one!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070109/...s/nyc_gas_odor

NEW YORK - The gas-like odor that hung over Manhattan's streets was gone Tuesday, but city officials were still trying to pinpoint its source — and eyeing New Jersey.

Charles Sturcken, a spokesman for the city Department of Environmental Protection, said Tuesday that his agency was pretty sure the source of the smell was along New Jersey's industrialized waterfront, just across the Hudson River from New York.

"The way we tracked the dispersion of the smell and the prevailing winds indicates that it came from New Jersey, somewhere near Secaucus," Sturcken said.

What's strange is no one in New Jersey noticed...
