What does the air smell like after a bomb goes off?

[Rubycon]

On CNN they're showing these pix of Hezbollah with the ominous clouds from multiple explosions. I know what pyrodex propellant smells like. What does it generally smell like when an area is bombed like that?

Taco Bell

Burnt Plasticky, with overtones of Sweet Gunpowdery, Charring Fleshery, and Concrete Dustery.

[Pabster]

Oust won't take care of it, that's for sure

 

[Sentinel]

Sulfur?

Smelly?

Like a mixture of dead people, concrete and sulfur?

 

[Tylanner]

denatured cement, general dustiness

I'd imagine it as an intense Home Depot smell along with various smells from the local hazardous chemical dump.

Burnt hotdogs

Depends on the bomb. Probibly cordite (spelling ??) smells like amonia to me.

KFC

Depends on the type, of course.

The couple I've "found the hard way" just smelled like gunpowder and dirt

 

[Baked]

Like medium rare baby steak.

 

[chambersc]

Unfortunately, death.

I don't know what it is, but I sure love the smell of it in the morning.
