San Bruno blast: 6 months later, scars slow to heal
Wednesday, March 9, 2011
At 6:11 p.m. today, six months to the minute after a Pacific Gas and Electric Co. natural gas pipeline blew up in a San Bruno neighborhood, survivors will gather to remember the eight people who died and to compare notes on a rebuilding effort that is only now gaining momentum.
The meeting spot - the intersection of Claremont and Glenview drives - sits in an altered landscape, with chain-link fences guarding 35 lots where homes once stood. Only wild grass grows there now.
A block away, the crater that opened when a piece of the underground pipe launched skyward remains exposed like a wound.
