San Francisco Gas Explosion Kills at Least Six People [Video]

[Nathanael]

A gas line explosion in the San Fransico suburb San Bruno has killed at least six people and destroyed over 50 homes.

San Bruno Fire Chief Dennis Haag said he believes the explosion and fire were triggered when a high-pressure gas line blew around 6 p.m. Thursday evening. The blast was so immense it created a crater the size of an intersection and destroyed the watermains, meaning firefighters responding to the call had no local fire hydrants to hook into.

---------------------------------------

San Francisco TV station KPIX reported on their news hour 7 confirmed deaths.
They also reported that cadaver dogs have found 9 additional bodies that have
yet to be identified.

Additionally, all houses have not been searched - some closest to the blast are
still too hot to search.
