Explosion in Downtown San Francisco
2005-08-19
This is not an article. I am currently working at the intersection of Market and Second streets in San Francisco. There has been a large explosion (or at least it sounded rather large) about one block from my current position in the Crocker Galleria Mall. There is a gunpowder type smell in the air and some small fires nearby. I will post more information when I have it. PLEASE post any information you may find.

#2  That should be underground, not sewer. Electrical is current prime suspect.

#1  SF Chron has explosion in sewer at Kearney & Post blowing man hole cover off and injuring one. Buildings in the financial district are evacuating. Hard to tell what it is as it could easily be a utility related explosion based on the article. Police have not ruled terrorism in or out.
