MELBOURNE — More than 500 students and professors were evacuated from a Melbourne college over a suspected gas leak. <br /><br />The putrid panic was started when students and staff in a library building reported smelling gas. They were then evacuated by the local police force. <br /><br />After an extensive search of the building for the gas leak, firefighters discovered the stank was actually coming from a rotten durian left in a cupboard. <br />According to the BBC, firefighters said the fantastic aroma spread through the building via the A/C. <br />For those unfamiliar with the tropical fruit, the smell can be bit pungent. And it does smell a bit like gas —- but farty gas though. <br /><br />According to the Melbourne Metropolitan Fire Brigade the building has been all cleared. Although that rotten, dirty gym sock smell may linger for a bit while longer.
