Negligence and lack of inspections led to the San Bruno explosion

The podcast explores the tragic explosion that occurred in San Bruno, California in 2010, caused by a natural gas pipeline owned by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). The disaster resulted in the destruction of homes, the loss of lives, and injuries to many. Investigations revealed that the explosion was the result of negligence on the part of PG&E, as the company had not adequately inspected or maintained the pipeline, despite known risks. The faulty pipeline and lack of inspections contributed to the severity of the explosion and subsequent fire. PG&E was later found guilty of multiple criminal violations and fined $1.6 billion.
