The explosion occurred Thursday shortly after 9 a.m. A construction crew, unrelated to PG&E, reportedly damaged a gas line around 7:30 that morning, according to PG&E spokesperson Jason King. PG&E said the gas was released in multiple locations, and the flow of gas was not stopped until 9:25 a.m. — about 10 minutes before the explosion.
