Gas Line Explosion Near SF
http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/09/09/cal...ex.html?hpt=T1
Shit's crazy right now! A 16-24" natural gas line broke and exploded tonight in San Bruno, which is pretty close to SF and very close to the SF airport. It's about 8 miles from my work. There are TONS of houses that either exploded where the break was or caught on fire from the 150-200ft flames that were shooting into the air. No word yet on how many injuries or if there are any deaths. Original reports said 10 houses burned, but it looks like 30+ from the news coverage. They showed a live camera from across the bay near Oakland, and the flames were visible from there.

Apparently 3 dead (1 confirmed)....22+ injured. 30+ homes down. A few residents said that PG&E had been out a few weeks ago investigating a gas smell and telling people to stay inside while they investigated....then just left. Residents reported smelling the gas leak for 3 weeks leading up to the explosion.

The blast occurred at 6:15pm... I expect dozens more will be found dead inside those homes.
