Brooklyn Smells Bad Today

Brooklyn Based

We’ve been hearing all sorts of reports on Twitter about a terrible smell in Brooklyn today. Here are some highlights. starting with our own inquiry tweet:

@BrooklynBased
We’re hearing about a sulphuric, gates of hell, low tide stink all over Brooklyn today? Who smells it?

@emilyspurr @BrooklynBased
the stench woke my boyfriend and i up this morning (park slope based), we thought a sewer pipe had burst. what IS it?!

@jbberk @BrooklynBased
I caught a whiff in Ditmas Park, just north of
#Cortelyou In fact, I first smelled it in my apartment.

...

You know what? We have it figured out. It’s the gates of hell (or a hellmouth, if you want to get all Joss Whedon nerdcore on it) opening under the Atlantic Yards construction site.

Any other theories?
