I heard that on Channel 5 KPIX as well.

So it still sounds like a mess, at some point someone said something about 4 carriers (Im assuming 4 aircraft carriers) that were in port near the time of this. I just dont understand why a huge natural gas line would just explode.....

where did you get that?

and are we up to 6 DOA's now?

Seems that fatalities are at 2 for now. 30 mins ago they stated they had to prepare a status check for casualties, structures lost, damaged etc, and the report was already submitted.

So they have a pretty good estimate now.

---------
PGE is asking to energize power lines outside an established box of SBFD at the scene. The established box is quite big, but they still want the PGE person to come down and check with the person in charge of the area, just to make sure.

That was from Belton, not sure if he is CAl FIRE PIO, but more likely a news reporter....

SF Fire arranging Priority 4 transports to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, STAT Transfers, either its critical patients or burn victims......CRMC is a Level 1 burn center...

A motorist called KGO about 6:30 PM. He was about 100 yards from the scene and watched the explosion from his car. That rules out the airplane crash and the rumors of a gas station blowing up.

Gene Burns show cancelled for extended news coverage. They are still going strong at midnight...
