... it's SO easy to start thinking you're feeling the effects of bad air, when what you're really feeling is the physiological effects of the adrenaline, caused by the thought of bad air.

My neighbors ran out of their home yelling "Help! Call 9-1-1! Help!".
When the firefighters arrived, the neighbors explained how they had just installed a gas leak detector and it had immediatly sounded. They both complained of feeling dizzy, light headed and disoriented.
Paramedics checked them while other firefighters checked the house.
In a few minutes, one of the firefighters came out holding the detector. He said "Do you see here where the 'test' button is jammed in the depressed position? We found no leaks; your detector is defective".
My neighbors were embarrased, but their symptoms were real. Both had elevated heart rate and blood pressure induced by the panic. It didn't help that a month prior to this a home in our city had exploded due to a gas leak and had been covered extensively in the news. That incident had prompted them to purchase the detector.
Thanks for the post OP, there are two good points in your story.
You were wise to get out as soon as you found stagnant water and air in the drain, both are health risks and avoiding them is the better option.
"Don't Panic!" is easier said that done, but panic is certainly a hazard which can result in real danger.

| | | | Panic is bad. But if you're wrong about bad air, it's better to imagine it than to ignore it.

Which is why you should always carry a few soothing, relaxing beers with you.

| | | | Just the other day i was watching a tv show, it was people in jail and different stuff. they where talking about the inmates would shit into a can or other structure and would then cover it with shrink wrap or other object. but by them doing this the shit would let off a methane and it would get built up in the can then they would later open it and huff the fumes and get a high from it. which this might have been what happen to you, altho the drain is open it might have had human waste traped in there and the air flow wasnt good enough and you ran into a pocket of the fumes from the shit? But maybe not just something i seen and reminded me of this.
I may not always be right, but I am never wrong. |

mmmmm beer
indeed panic solves nothing. even if you are right, bolting out can lead to more trouble in a drain environment.
you are right to leave if you feel in danger, even if you are wrong better to be safe than sorry. as said, with experience you'll get a better idea of the various smells of the underground.
i also suggest taking someone with you, aside from being a sensible idea, until you get your wits about you underground its not something i would advise anyone do.
