| From SFGATE: (03-28) 12:15 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Shoppers in San Francisco's Union Square got a shock this morning when a manhole cover on Grant Avenue blew off and sailed into the air. No one was injured by the blast, which was caused by the failure of an underground power cable at about 9:45 a.m., said Brian Swanson, spokesman for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. The cover landed a few feet from the hole, he said. Grant Avenue between Post Street and Campton Place is still closed. No power was lost, but repairs to the cable are expected to continue until tonight. - Will Kane |
And it's not the first one either. PG&E is not having a good time of it recently. I'm surprised there is not a google app of exploding manholes, a free walking tour of exploding manholes, or the ever popular hipster treasure hunt of exploding manholes.
