when the MP came in off of Hemian,
00:03
I started to pick it up when I started to get up by the Raymore and Flanagan office along the throughway there, and now I'm out by the front gate and the traction, I don't smell it anymore.
00:17
Okay,

I'll backtrack the word too.

Yeah, Jim, Jim, on the foreside, I got a pretty good odor and a slight smoke condition, but it's the same thing as Manhattan.
01:26
It's the exact same smoke condition as well, so it has to be over in this area.
01:34
All right, I might actually end up taking the right enough railway to see if there's anything in that direction.
01:40
I'm going to check, let's go first.
01:49
The odor seems to be the strongest in Raymore and Flanagan by the main office area and where they park all the trucks, the loading docks.
02:01
I looked along the throughway as we drove here and don't see anything at all. The odor is more sort of the Manhattan beer area.
02:15
All right, MP, go towards Manhattan beer again and try to backtrack, see if maybe you or the tankers find something.
02:24
I think the tankers should be over there now.
02:27
Because of the command, we are in our executives.
02:32
Okay,
02:33
I'm checking behind the middle school.
02:37
No, well.
02:42
Sorry, Digibov.
02:46
Go ahead, nine.
02:50
Yeah, we're back in Manhattan beer.
02:52
I got pretty much no haze at this time and no odor over here. It's more at Ramore now, so I guess the wind's just taking it as it goes.
03:04
And B doesn't see anything in Manhattan at all. I'm around the back.
03:08
By a gate that doesn't open, I can't go any farther.
03:14
I'm racing.
03:16
No smell over here.
03:20
