A massive gas line pipeline explosion in the Crestmoor residential neighborhood of San Bruno, California quickly engulfs nearby houses. Eight people perished, 58 were reported injured and many homes were destroyed.
The utility giant PG&E was convicted of six felony charges connected to the 2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion. PG&E's sentence included a $3 million fine, a five-year probation period, independent safety monitoring and 10,000 hours of community service. In addition PG&E was mandated to take out full-page ads in the San Francisco Chronicle and Wall Street Journal, in addition to 60-second television ads, detailing the nature of PG&E's offenses and the steps the company was taking to prevent future offenses and disasters.
