Did someone die? Did something explode? Is the smell caused by a gas? A liquid? A solid? Is there even a smell? Is this in the same style as your older "Disaster!" puzzles? | ||

Dead people: 1 person? 2? 3? More? [LTPF list of integers]? True story? Was the explosion due to a build-up of pressure? Ignition of something flammable? Was the exploding thing a tank of a sort? Did the person/people die in the explosion? Shot in the dark: did someone try to light a...*ahem*...flatus? And blew themself up doing so? | ||

Attempted recap: An explosion at a school, occurring while the school was in session, killed about 300 people. The explosion was caused by a natural gas leak, and there's a significant smell involved. What's needed to find? | ||

Good recap. There is much to discover about the smell. You need to find out what the puzzle statement means. | ||

Did this happen before natural gas companies started adding odorants to their product? but now as an attempt to avoid such disasters, we have smelly natural gas (I know that last parted sounded comical, but it was meant totally literally)? | ||
