It was a great way to get through the line at the bank quickly. Might work at the airport as well if someone would care to try.
Certain smells you never forget.

Decomposing flesh and Burning flesh.

If you wanted to know what it smelt like at the WTC for months after just mixed them together and add a fine dust of who knows what.

Several people from the ME's office where I used to work actually did fly to New York to help catalogue and recover human remains from ground zero. I wanted to go as well but at that time I was helping take care of my father and my family needed me at home. With the normal caseload at our office I don't think they could have spared very many forensic techs anyway.
