this is weird cause it smell here too. anyone else notice?

NEW YORK (AP) – Authorities were investigating the source of a mysterious gas-like odor Monday that stretched across a large part of Manhattan, including Rockefeller Center.

The Fire Department began getting calls about the odor around 9 a.m. Monday, said spokesman Tim Hinchey. No source had been identified.

Across the Hudson River, Jersey City, New Jersey, mayor’s spokeswoman Maria Pignataro said officials there were told the odor was due to a gas leak in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, just north of Greenwich Village.

Utility officials with Consolidated Edison had no immediate comment.

In August, seven people were treated at hospitals after a gaseous smell in the boroughs of Queens and Staten Island.

CNN reports at 11:30 that the smell is being investigated, but is not terrorist related.

Mayor reports, Small gas leak in the West village does not account for the smell.

the terrorists are testing the use of the subways system to spread nerve gas. The places you can smell it are the dead zones.

Totally! I was watching them yesterday with that tractor trailer incident. They made it perfectly clear that they were the only ones covering this scene! It was such a joke.
