FoxNews breaking reports:

Fumes at the senate side of the Capitol. Hazmat crews called to the scene.

At the same time they also mentioned that there is a restoration project going on, and that could also be the origin of the fumes.

But the police is taking no chances and dispatched a hazmat crew. It wasn't clear from the report, whether the Hazmat team is already at the Capitol or not.

[FairOpinion]

FWIW -- it may or may not be terrorist related. But clearly, because of the orange alert, nobody is taking any chances and dismissing things without thorough investigation.

[Fumes at the senate side of the Capitol...]

Er. Ah. Should I? Nah, I'm not gonna... :O)

[sissyjane]

Probably because there are two threads about the exact same thing.

[bcoffey]

Duplicate, I think

Duplicate.

Duplicate, I believe.

Actually the reason was stated: Duplicate thread, with a link to this thread. We only need one thread per article/ event.

My spare bedroom with all my computer stuff has suffered from strange fumes over the holidays. Seems to have been a failed cooling fan in the computer, and an overheating transformer.

[jerseygirl]

I had that at work one time- a nasty, burning plastic smell, then the monitor actually started smoking! Be careful.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Oh dear, this is not good for your computer.

the smell you noticed was from the plastic resin matrix that makes up the heart of your mother board.

I think it's because this thread was up first.

When something happens, frequently multiple people post it within a short period of time and they ususally only leave up the first one posted.
