Unidentifiable gas leak in Manhattan, reaching over to NJ, permeating the air- In midtown, the smell is very strong; but our beloved mayor says it's not dangerous- still no information on the source of the leak

ummm if it smells like gas, and the scent made to over 10 miles, it's hard to believe for it to not be dangerous in some way.

What makes me :roll: is the fact that the gov't says, we don't know what it is or what is causing it... but its not dangerous. How do they know?

exactly what I thought- Bloomberg says he's "confident" it's not dangerous, because gas detectors aren't showing "significant" levels, but cannot detect location of leak :shock:

It stank pretty good downtown this morning getting off the subway (and on the subway, but that's another story), was just out for lunch and didn't notice it so much. Hopefully it is/was harmless...

When something like this happens, you always need to ask the question, "where is carrot top?"

They probably know its not dangerous because they have taken air samples and had them analysed. Although I would have thought this would give them some idea as to what is causing it.

I had a pretty bad gas leak in my office this morning. I got things cleaned up though and there were no real dangers involved.
