Not surprising...no warning...sounds like people had no chance

@ouou21 Dumbo...this was going to happen whether they burn the book or not...Keep those idiotic 3rd world comments out of here lol...we can explain these things rationally over here...we don't blame God for everything / payback / retribution/etc like you nuts do..we actually take some responsibility here

@toastt21a actually people around that street were complaining about smelling gas for the whole week.

I'm probably the only person, or one of a few, who believe that this may have been a meteor explosion. People did report hearing a roar overhead. If it was a plane crash, then where are the remnants of the plane? And why is there so much smoke, if that's what we're seeing here? I'm just not convinced about the gas line explanation.

@KrK007 there is always speculation on what happened prior to the explosion. it is all about blaming PG&E while an investigation is in process. the section of the gas pipeline that blew several feet away is going to be investigated but there is speculation of possible pipe weld failure. PG&E said it will be responsible if it was found to be the owner of the affected pipeline. it might be from a different provider. until then, we wait and see.

[KrK007]

@aurora990 Yeah, obviously the investigation is underway and the cause of the failure will be found. My comment refers to the widely reported accounts on TV and elsewhere that gas had been leaking a long time, residents had complained, and PG&E had ignored it. I think when the investigation is performed they are going to conclude that this was all just speculation and that there were no reports of leaking gas prior to the explosion.

[aurora990]

@KrK007 it is unusual for anybody to notice the smell of natural gas for weeks. right now, PG&E says there are no calls for natural gas leak in the affected area. besides, if there was a natural gas leak, the natural gas explosion would had happened earlier.

@KrK007 look i'm moroccan, i love morocco, thats it !!! so suck it!!! america where everybody is divorced !!!!!!!!! hhhhhhhhhhhhhh you know you're a bitch for real !!!

[MarkARecio]

Oh look, a big camp fire made by PG&E

[KrK007]

@aurora990 PG&E has already stated on the record that they received no reports of any leak, so if residents were smelling gas according to PG&E they didn't tell them.

[KrK007]

@MrD3vilboy I know you're there, so Morocco is worse off, obviously.

[MrD3vilboy]
