Gas valves are being shut off now and gas is not fueling the fire. Fire was at Sneath Lane at Skyline. Westerly winds are pushing it toward the more populated part of San Bruno. Luckily it’s been a cool and rather damp summer. Fire is consuming the houses which are only 20 ft. apart.

Hey speaking of Birds (the movie) the gal who was the star is coming up here to the Oregon Coast to a veiwing at one of the old theatres up here.

I would go but no WC access.
That movie gave me nightmares for decades.

Would be fun to meet the actress.

I called the newsroom for Sky7 Bay Area. "Can you please get the graphics off the screen so we can actually see the pictures of what your cameras are shooting?"

The person I talked to said they feel the same way. Seems like a compaint in the news room also.

That means there is some dip news director that thinks he knows best. Should be fired for such stupidity or take a job at FOX where they take up half the screen with graphics instead of just a third of the screen like SKY7.

CA Emerg Management saying they are still perplexed as to the cause of the explosion?

Telling people to evacuate even if they haven’t been officially told to.

Figuring out the root cause of disasters is a difficult engineering problem. Lots of the evidence is often completely destroyed. It will take a long time and involve a lot of failure analysis experts. There will obviously be lots of law suits that will take years to resolve. Both sides will hire their own experts to dispute the other side’s experts.

Geez, just what we need. A new conspiracy theory has now been born. Some nutcases will now forever be convinced a plane went down and it has been covered up.

In real aircraft crashes, people will report the aircraft was on fire before it crashed, even when it wasn't.

Has to do with the brain fabricating a cause for an unusual event.

Example #eleventy-billion of the unreliabilty of eyewitnesses.

We live in an era where many people have no trust in anything, and assume everything is a lie.

There are valid reasons at times to think this way; but people need to retain their critical thinking skills.
