I wonder if this is at all related to reports of a strong "maple syrup" smell from several months ago? Its almost as though a distribution system were being tested.

Yeah, aromatics are trucked in tankers, just as gasoline is. It is added before the gas goes into the distribution lines.
It is common to have a release, especially with all the temperature changes.
Natural gas has absolutely no smell, otherwise. A strong smell indicates that it is not likely gas, but the aromatics that have been released, and it is not dangerous. It just stinks.
Happens all the time in Louisiana where I worked in the oil patch for years.

Natural gas is lighter than air. Propane is heavier than air.

FOX is speculating now about terrorismThat's nothing new. A dog could fart in Wyoming and Faux News would speculate about terrorism and the dog may really be a terrorist in disguise trying to get to a large city..
It's more likely that it is some sort of natural gas leak

She who smelt it, dealt it.
She who denied it, supplied it.
He who refused it, diffused it.
BTW, no smell at Grand Central 1/2 hour ago, no smell on the 4 line south, and no smell down here at the tip of Manhattan on Broad St. south of Wall Street.

Yeah, but making multiple gas leaks and then dropping a lighted match would be quite a clever way to 'bomb' NYC.

Does every thread have to instantly degenerate into some sort of open mic night at the local dive bar? Not every story is an opportunity to crack open the lame joke book you got for Christmas, folks. Seems that way. I sometimes wish we had an "ignore user" on the board.
