This was definitely a gas smell and covered a large area. How it could go on undetected by authorities is mystifying and unbelieveable?

What was the wind direction today and the velocity to determine how much and where it's coming from, or the rate of disbursement? Is this a test-run for someone?

Although I too am critical of the response to this episode, we must keep in mind that the "authorities" are really not nearly as good at dealing with real problems as they are with the ones they make up and address.I'm not sure what the original topic was this morning Mayor Snippy wanted to get to, but, I'm sure it was something vitally important to him.

Only one problem though: most poison gases are far heavier than air and don't disperse very well. That means even if you dispersed several barrels of Tabun nerve gas it won't disperse very far unless you have extremely favorable wind conditions.

Could be.

Wouldn't surprise me, although the disruption it's already causing is enough of a problem. They don't even have to DO anything other than this every once in a while.
