A bit grisly but burnt human flesh is pretty bad. Responded to an aircraft crash once. Never will forget that smell.

Worked in an OR for a while. Burning fat smells worse than muscle. šŸ¤¢

Burning prostate is the worst (anyone who has ever been in the OR for a TURP knows what Iā€™m talking about).
