Federal investigators issued a host of urgent safety recommendations Monday, pressing for major changes at the California utility responsible for the gas pipeline that exploded in a San Francisco suburb last year, killing eight people.

Six of the seven recommendations released by the National Transportation Safety Board were classified as urgent.

The board has been investigating what caused the Sept. 9 explosion that destroyed dozens of homes in San Bruno. Officials have not determined an exact cause but suspect the pipeline may have ruptured under high gas pressure.
