Not getting any info from here (Michigan), why are there bomb squads and FBI if it's a transformer. Or could it be something else and that is just the story they are giving for now?
probably the only story they'll ever give.
They're just making sure. It would be an odd target to bomb, when the bomber could walk undetected right into the BART station a block away, ride an eastbound into the Transbay Tube, and wreak immense economic damage with a few pounds of C4.
they are showing some dude with his camcord....
telling everyone it was a bomb....
all is well says the MSM
Bomb squad on-scene is an insurance move in case there is evidence at the scene indicating something other than a transformer problem. You think your average PG&E guy could identify -- or would even think to look for -- powder burns or the shattered fragments of a timer or detonator?
So, why would you expect any different in this post-9/11 era? It's probably become SOP to roll the bomb squad for an explosion of any kind -- just in case. Their presence should not, however, be directly translated into "it really WAS a bomb and there's an active cover-up going on."
