New York City stinks

Posted by Moonage on 08 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: People

Been following this today:

New York officials evacuated a number of buildings and shut down some trains after a mysterious gaslike odor was reported Monday.

A New York Police Department spokesman said an air quality test determined that the air is not hazardous, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said there is no indication terrorism was involved.

The city’s Office of Emergency Management reported no injuries, and spokesman Jared Bernstein said early Monday afternoon that the number of calls into the office had dwindled since the smell was first reported Monday morning.

Two people were hospitalized for shortness of breath related to the odor, said Bill Douster from the Jersey City Medical Center.

I was kind of concerned about it until I read what Mayor Bloomberg had to say:

The mayor said that "these things are normal, happen all the time."

I think I’ll stick with the country life for a little while longer.
