JERSEY CITY (CBS) ― On the Jersey City side, the mysterious chemical smell had residents feeling unsettled. PATH service from New Jersey to 33rd Street in Manhattan has been restored following a suspension because of the smell.

"I didn't know what it was, so I worried," said Jersey City resident Robert Domond. "The type of life we live in, anything is possible."

Matt Pierpont, who works for a Japanese bank in Jersey City, said, "What did it smell like? I'd say when you put on the stove before gas ignites, it's that kind of smell."

As a precaution, Pierpont an a few other coworkers headed from Jersey City to Wappingers Falls.

"We send a skeleton crew up to our disaster recovery site, just in case something happens," Pierpont said.

Also as a precaution, some PATH service was shut down, but later in the morning was restored.

While on a PATH train, Jersey City resident Walter Thompson overheard the news of the gas odor.

"A conductor there had his walkie-talkie on, and they said there was a smell coming from Jersey. It didn't make me feel too good," Thompson said.
