Apparently it isn't toxic, but it stinks.

Looger · 01-08-2007, 12:01 PM

sorry, i didn't think anyone would notice!

Red Mile Style · 01-08-2007, 12:01 PM

It can't be much worse than the usual smell of urine, frying meat, gas exhaust and sewer...

Flames in 07 · 01-08-2007, 12:03 PM

sounds like a nat gas leak, but they haven't located it yet

Jayems · 01-08-2007, 12:22 PM

Can you imagine if everyone started dying on an epic scale there...

yeesh, that would be terrible.

But, they're pretty confident its nothing to worry about, so thats good.

Mysterious stank in NYC
Chemical 'leak' in Texas
C4 found at the Port of Miami

If I were planning something big, this is how I would do it. A bunch a small things happening all over the place a the same time to get the chickens running around headless. Then while everyone is distracted comes the Earth shattering KaBoom.

There have been days (when the winds are just right) when downtown Calgary smells like a brewery. I'm going to guess it has something to do with the Fleishman's plant just outside of downtown. Could be something like that.

Hopefully it's just that, and not say, a trial run for something more henious.

Maybe Bush is in town.

Michael Moore flatulance convention - John Goodman / Rosie Odonell (?spelling) guest speaker.

Its NYC - everything there is blown out of proportions. What else would happen when you have upteen amount of news networks in one place. Its like Toronto and snow.

Is it a test by <insert random terror group here> to see the reaction of city officials as well as the capabilities of gas detection by the city?

Hey, I said 'if I were planning...' you know, like if OJ was planning to kill his wife. Last thing I need is to be sent to an FBI website and have them log my IP and have THAT heat brought down on my head.

a better question would be why these stories are in the media when huge terror blasts that aren't believed to be linked to al-CIA-da aren't for example, talked aboot on this site.

i don't watch the news on tv too much, has there been coverage of the madrid airport bombing?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6233431.stm

Both men had been sleeping in their cars, and so did not manage to escape the car park even though at least one telephone warning was received before the bomb exploded.
The powerful blast flattened the five-storey building. Rescuers and firefighters are still engaged in clearing some 40,000 tons of rubble, and about 400 wrecked cars.

a terrorist bomb killing at least two and turning 40,000 tons of concrete into rubble isn't news with all the terror hype?

i'm sure it's been reported here somewhere... but i listen to US radio and the hourly news has not mentioned this bombing but the stench in NY and the dead pigeons in austin are top shelf.

To be quite honest, thats the 1st ive heard of that story.

Table 5 · 01-08-2007, 05:48 PM

meh, new york always smells like ass. i didn't even notice it.

this does remind me of the time a few months ago, when there was a waft of maple syrup in the upper west side that the city couldnt account for either. Comically enough, that night i was meeting with a bunch of Canadian friends who had come down to NY. We were all joking around that the smell was the result of getting so many of us hosers together in one place.

I'm not sure I follow. Who gains anything by ignoring this story? The media gets bashed for overdoing it in regards to terrorism, and then when they don't cover something thyat is questionable the other way. Does ignoring/not paying much attention to this one fit some agenda?

Sucks for those two fellows, but it really isn't that big a deal. It's just a parkade.

considering the wall-to-wall coverage for terror plots that don't even result in one charge against a suspect, i'd think a real bombing might be a news item.

it's not linked to al-CIA-da, it's not terrorism.

CrusaderPi · 01-08-2007, 08:59 PM

FWIW I thought the coverage of the Madrid parkade bomb was pretty good. Considering it happened in Spain, and the Basque seperatists took responsibility and unlike the more notable muslim terrorist, the basque guys (basquians?) don't have a beef with the US or Canada.
