Six students hospitalized: Houston school closed due to unknown smell

Houston authorities decided to temporarily close the Caney Creek High School due to an unbearable smell that no one knows where it comes from and has persisted for at least two days.

The smell started on Wednesday and classes were interrupted, but on Thursday it happened again and they had to evacuate the campus. During this Friday the educational center will remain closed while the origin of the mysterious and unpleasant smell is investigated.

Firefighters and hazardous materials teams were mobilized to the scene. Specialists have searched the area but still do not know what it is. They ruled out a gas leak, and there are no drainage problems either.
