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...

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.

Amen. There just aren't enough details to make it worth speculating. It could be just about anything.

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?
