I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the very warm weather there a a couple of days ago causing some reaction in the mud flats or something similar. Could even be a malfunction of a sewer treatment plant.
I have learned to discount a lot of the early "reporting" on these breaking stories...

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the very warm weather there a a couple of days ago FOX just panned the city with their roof cam. It looks suspiciously like a thermal inversion, which would explain this entire thing. The smells from refining in New Jersey are trapped, and cannot get out as is usual. This has happened a dozen times in the past 30 years or so if my memory serves me correctly.

could be, but it smells like natural gas - not methane etc.

I posted earlier in the thread that I thought it was a weather inversion. The area experiencing the odor is far too widespread for this to be a simple gas leak.
Perhaps there was some airline fuel dumping this morning.

Good point on the warm weather, I wonder if it is lowtide right now?
