Godawful burning-rubber smell -- anyone else smell it? — Brooklynian

Godawful burning-rubber smell -- anyone else smell it?

Around 5th St/5th Av. I don't hear sirens, though, which makes me think it might not be local. Really a disturbing, headache-inducing smell that's penetrating through closed windows. Anyone know what/where it is?

  • im on 7th bt 5th-6th and i smell nothing...yet
  • Opps, sorry, last time I get take out there. :oops:
  • I was having dinner at Belleville at that time and didn't notice any burning odor.
  • Sorry it smells like one of my generic prophylactics.
  • Well, it's gone now... lasted for a little over an hour. It was definitely coming from outside, because the smell was much stronger when I went out. Even my 2-year-old noticed it. Maybe it was a warehouse fire in Jersey or somewhere, and when the wind shifted the smell went away. Who can say? :scratch:
  • Maybe another Access-A-Ride went up in smoke.
