San Francisco International airport is there in San Bruno, Skyline Blvd is not by the airport, it is west of the airport by a few miles.

It looks like a fuel line broke to me, doesnt look like jet fuel.  The fire looks over 100 feet in air, gotta be gas/fuel line.

FAA confirmed no missing aircraft.. Looks like either a huge natural gas or gas station explosion.

I am listening to the live news site and a retired PG&E guy called, hes saying hes 99% sure its gas.  It seems to be burning off once gets to certain distance away and its a constant flame.

The Gas line looks like running out, fire is atleast half the size.  Was 100ft+ and now around 50-60ft

One fatality confirmed in San Bruno at 9:45pm.....was confirmed a gas line....lots of people with 3rd degree burns.  They are still looking for more fatalities.....They also confirmed that a water main was taken out when the original explosion happened, took 30 min to get water back.

Looks like the repairbill will be a little bit higher now. I have to wonder if any criminal charges will be placed.
