We know that the natural gas explosion that rocked Inner Richmond the other day was not something anyone expected to go through. The explosion was caused by a private construction company when they hit the gas utility line and it took nearly three hours to extinguish.
Overall, five buildings were severely damaged in the incident. Miraculously, nobody was injured. Initially, five workers on the construction crew were listed as missing, but they were all found safe. The incident certainly did scare those who work and live nearby.
“We went into crisis mode,” said a nearby resident. “We grabbed our shoes, grabbed our laptops and grabbed our passports and just left.”
