1. yep

guess pg and e had workers out there and they told people who smelled gas
to just keep their house closed up.. ack!

2. They say they're checking the logs but I'm hearing it was

at least 3 weeks and there may have been a crew out checking on it one.

3. PG&E..... To know them is to hate them. nt

4. What's this about setting about a $100 million fund for those

affected by the blast?

5. Two of my uncles worked for them, one as an engineer,

and they BOTH hated them.

6. My brother smelled gas when he went to pick up his kids in San Mateo

but the house checked out okay. I wonder if this stuff was wafted down the penninsula. :grr:

7. That's pretty far down from San Bruno

hope it isn't another leak. :scared:

[EFerrari]

8. If my bro noticed it, it must be pretty bad

because he's not very focused on environmental stuff. :(

9. So this was preventable?

They are going to get their butts sued from
here to high heaven for their negligence!


:( :nuke:
