NYC "gas odour"

Jan 08, 2007 09:48

Um, has anyone else been watching HLN/CNN? There's apparently a terribly strong smell of gas running from about 34th/6th all the way up to Rockefeller Centre. Macy's has been evacuated, and it looks like they're going to evacuate RC as well ( Read more... )

Yuk, can you smell it? Hope you got some sleep last night :-)

Hey you!
Um, I'm about 260 miles away-in Massachusetts.
So, no smell here. (er, except for kitty litter that needs to be changed. Yick.)

Oh, and nope, not much sleep again.
I've decided to stop whining about it. So boring-the endless whining.

Oops, I told Anderson to set up a huge fan and blow the smell your way :-) GO get some Melatonin. I swear it works. My sister uses benedryl, if it works on her kid - she says it works on her!!LOL

melatonin works sometimes for me! sometimes not. ambien works sometimes.. sometimes not. (now *that* is creepy. i thought all those ambien eating zombies featured on cnn last year were crazy until i experienced the same thing! very very trippy)

heh, I just posted something on the open thread - forgot to check 'friends'.

They're saying the air quality sensors aren't detecting anything dangerous. I have to wonder - since natural gas is naturally odorless and they insert the scent in the process so you'll notice a gas leak, what if someone just set off canisters of the odor?

I'm in Brooklyn. You're always safe in Brooklyn.

Hey you! I knew you were based in Bklyn, but I wasn't sure if you might be in the city for daily life stuff or something like that.

Manhattan smells of gas. Mmmmmmmm,gas.

I remember "life stuff"... sigh. No, I'm chained to the computer today.

There was this thing a few months ago where a huge part of Manhattan was smelling like maple syrup, like everyone in the city was having pancakes at the same time.

merry_fitzmas January 8 2007, 18:38:25 UTC

did they ever figure out what the maple syrup smell was? I was following that story obsessively on Gawker, but I never heard the ending, if any.

drukwerk January 8 2007, 18:41:16 UTC

i don't think they did. it remains a mystery. a delicious mystery.

I don't smell anything but I wish I would so that work would be evacuated. It's a shitty, rainy day and I wanna go home!
