line explosion. federal investigators or on the scene right now governors schwarzenegger along with senator leland yee will tour the site. three people are still listed as missing at least four people were killed 37 homes destroyed. 19 homes were substantially damaged and remain unoccupied this morning. the 320 other homes have been cleared for families to return. authorities are searching for clues as to what caused the gas line to expose and what could be done to prevent such another disaster. >> will is live at san bruno. >> i'm in front of the command center. it feels like the day after the explosion with a lot of police officers here. they're making sure that unauthorized people do not go down the hill

which is about half a mile from where i am located to the gas line exploded. it is allowed investigators who will be here for the next couple of days to gather evidence but more importantly at this point to go round and tried to talk to people who reportedly smelled gas before the explosion took place. they don't all of this point if it was a panel that caused the leak to-probably moments before the gas line ruptured or if it was something catastrophic that caused it to snap like a pretzel. nonetheless if you have no gas leak you have no explosion so they do know that. so far they have received 90 e-mail's from the public but only one came from a person who said they smelled gas in that area. they hope more people will come forward to tell them about vegetation possibly dying in their front lawn. at this point

it is all charred so hopefully they saw that in the days before the explosion. that could be key clue for them to find out what happened. this is all over the neighborhood this came up over night this they came by here and is warning people are now back in their homes to be careful about unlicensed contractors because we spoke to a man yesterday he was livid. 81 year- old mom lives in the area down the hill he says some of the key man rode up the damage report on her home that was frivolous that that damage might have already been there already or was not bad enough for them to write up this big report. he told them i want you to rip up the report because if pg&e is paying damage i would rather have that money going to homes that were more severely damaged. obviously he got the attention. if you're

back here on this morning be careful definitely do investigating. here is a spokesman right now christopher he is coming over. can you tell us any new developments in this case i know you took the key parts of the pipe back to washington dc. those phone calls and e-mail is critical. >> we will follow up on all of that. one of the reason e-mail's are critical it is important to find out if there was gas escaping before this occurred. this could help us determine how this occurred. if there was gas escaping it could've been a pinhole. versus the catastrophic rupture which would not have a gas well in advance. >> are you concerned we are six days out from the explosion and only 1 e-mail that you can say definitively from a person the

reportedly smelled gas in that area are you concerned six, seven, eight days out that those phone calls may not comment. >> that is a possibility we will not know. that is still not what we're looking for we want reports of order before the event. >> somebody who said yes i smelled the odor and pg&e was called. >> or call 911 or whoever. we were looking for immediate sale before the explosion. >> are you worried about a fan of small people sasasasasasasasn they did not. are you doing anything to confirm that the stories check out. >> if we hear a story that we had a gas smell we will go to the conclusion. then will find out of its possible. if we have

dead vegetation it could be dead for many reasons but one of those reasons could be a gas leak. >> is your chance that a year from now when this report is drawn up they may never know what caused this explosion >> that is a possibility there are rare events where we can't find the cause but mostly all the times we can find it to close of cause. >> did you find any estimating going on in that area any seismic activity that may have caused this pipe to rupture. >> we are looking into seismic activity. we are looking to see if there was any excavation that could happen in a pass that could cause damage to the >> >> and simply it had to be a gas leak is the gas was not leaking there would not been that explosion is that correct? >> the pipe could filled for

damage fatigue or corrosion that would not have a previous now.s. >> coming up at 6:30 a.m. we will see if we did talk to some residents and see what they can say about the latest period and if they smelled gas are notice any dead vegetation. >> we will check back with you shortly stay with kron 4 for the very latest on december no explosion we have coverage on our web site. we will be right back as kron 4 continues. b-a-c-c-a-l-a-u-r-e-a-t-e. baccalaureate. correct.
