drewkittyA curious thing happened in San Bruno this evening. One of the two major gas supply pipelines to San Francisco decided to cough a bit. Explosively. Fireball over sixty feet in the air.
At least one confirmed fatality, over 28 injured many with critical burns, at least 53 homes destroyed, and a sudden urban-wildland interface fire combined with the need to shuttle water due to broken water mains. Don't plan on using Interstate 280 for your commute tomorrow, either.
The usual suspects are running around trying to develop leads. If it's an accident, PG&E is going to be writing some mighty hefty checks. If not so much, some guilty suspect(s) will be deposited with no hope of early withdrawal.
