Several friends lovingly showed their concern for my well being, asking if I was responsible for the noxious gas smell seeping through Manhattan this morning. Hardy-har folks but in all seriousness, I don’t believe they ever located the source. Mysterious!
Ironically, several birds (63) dropped dead on Congress Ave in Austin and shut down downtown for a few hours.
Meanwhile, a Houston-area chemical plant accidentally poots ethylenediamine and puts Sugar Land on notice. Having grown-up in the same petrochemical belt, I can say that the locals were probably the least concerned versus the New Yorkers and Austinites.
Note that the wikipedia entry for ethylenediamine already contains an section labeled “The Sugar Land, Texas Incident”.
