Explosion in SF - right outside my building!

Wow, I'm glad no one got hurt. Didn't a woman get burned a while back when a similar thing happened?

It really is incredible that no one was hurt - the area is crawling with tourists, and it was right after 4, so plenty of people were leaving work.

Coincidentally, at lunch we had all just been talking about how poorly maintained our infrastructure is, and how vulnerable that makes us to natural disasters and accidents, as well as to terrorist attacks. And then POW!

There are a couple of news pieces now, and this one has photos taken by someone on the 5th floor of my building.

Helicopters are flying all around, now that there's nothing to see!

And yeah, MP and Snap - there was a similar event a few years ago up near Kearney.
