I lived in Western NYS in the 60s and for a few years in the 70s, often traveling to Buffalo, Lewiston, Niagara Falls, etc. The smell in that area was, indeed, awful, and I recall my father in the mid-60s saying, “I have no idea what’s happening here, but I bet anything it’s eventually going to cost someone BIGTIME!” I recall his shock (and ours) as we began learning what had happened.
