Thanks for the info - it was mewzilla's question.
I am thinking if it is natural gas, surely something would have set off an explosion before now ....with the volume required to cover the area described, that would be one helluva gas leak.

I would think the news channels should at least mention that possibility.

Paper-mill stink smell much the same. I'll bet a dollar it's a paper mill up river, and there is a thermal keeping the stink low to the ground.
This entire thing is totally ridiculous...LOL....The shallowness of people just amazes me....

Why haven't the dems done anything about this yet? Why do they hate New Yorkers?
To: Cold Heat
To be fair, the infrastructure in NY has been known to be spotty, and NY is the #1 target for terrorists. Knowing these two things, you might be concerned if your building is filled with what smells like natural gas.

>>If someone spilled a quart of methyl or ethyl mercaptan it'd smell up a large area.
>Where's/when's that added to the nat gas? Does the additive get trucked around?I worked near the natural gas storage field at Leidy, PA. They would pump the gas into a depleted gas field for storage without the odorant and add the odorant at the compressor station as they pumped it out for consumption.
At high concentrations methyl or ethyl mercaptan don't smell anything like the unburned gas from a stove. The odor is, well -- a really, really--twist your stomach and make you want to puke type of a reek.
If this is some sort of prank or terrorist scare somebody must've thought out how to disperse it.

A stink is a compound, and not easily identifiable. What they do is check for a variety of known dangerous molecules. If they are not present in quantities that exceed norms, the stink is safe.

I wouldn't be surprised it isn't our govt, doing a test to see how far a gas could go and how quick

In response to myself it looks like lowtide occurred on the Hudson at 8:30am, this and the warm temperatures could explain it.

Could be a mercaptan spill..intentional or accidental...mental visions of laughing terrorists driving around the NYC and NJ area dribbling a trail of mercaptan behind them....

That picture I'm seeing on my TV right now, is that the cloud, or is that today's weather?

All I know is that the situation is critical enough that they stopped production of ESPN2's Cold Pizza program this morning. (Cold Pizza is produced at a studio right across the street from Madison Square Garden.)
