far that were engaged, either damaged or destroyed. we ar aware of -- responded to this with an eight member investigative team. the investigator in charge -- we have -- put together a team of investigators to look at a variety of areas. we started with the operations. we look at pipeline, the installation of the pipeline, operation, maintenance, history, the peak values of pressure that the pipeline can with stand and hit the history of what it did with stand, the safe guards to prevent over pressure in the pipeline, all aspects of the pipeline. we are forming a group to look at human factors. the people -- all the people who operate the pipeline. we will be looking at their experience, training, history, looking at whether they have alcohol and tox tests to

determine their condition the time. we will look at what they were doing in the last few hours to see if they were fatigued. we will look at the survivable factors. the preparedness and what plans were in place by pacific gas and electric to respond to an issue like this and what response happened to the disaster. obviously we are here because of the huge impact of this disaster on many lives and on the property and that regard i would like to say on behalf of the ntsb that we extend our sympathies to the families and friends of the victims of this tragedy. we have specialists the ntsb's office -- they are on scene to provide help and important to

the family members of the victims of this incident. throughout the next few days investigators will be working on scene to document the accident site and gather factual information. the purpose of us being here and the reason we are gathering this information is not just to understand what happened but why it happened and we will end up with recommendations to try to prevent the same thing from happening in the future. we will not be determining probable cause while we are here on scene and we won't speculate about what may have caused the accident. we aren't here to determine blame or live. we are determining cause and a report that will come out in 14, 16, 18 months, that's hard to say just how long it'll taket. depends on what we find in the course of the investigation. in the course of the investigation if we find safety concern that need immediate attention we will put out immediate recommendations. we are very interested in what

any witnesses may have reports. anyone who is a witness to this, who has not yet been interviewed we would appreciate if you get in touch with the local authorities to tell them the information and they will give it to us. since we are just starting we don't have a great deal of information. we will update you from time to time as we gather that starting with our first press meet this evening and peter will give you the details of that. i would like to take a moment to thank all of the first responders to this accident. they have been working very hard and we appreciate all they have done in addition to all that the red cross has done as well. i will now take a few questions. >> given your experience of these types of disasters -- what is your gut reaction when you saw that scene? >> the question was what was my assessment. it was the amazing destruction, the charred trees, the area that was completely flattened. the melted, charred cars and

houses that disappeared. it was just an amazing scene of destruction. >> will you be wanting to talk to resident who are -- many of the reporters they are saying they had smelled gas fumes in the past few weeks. ? will we want to talk to resident who reported they smelled gas? we will definitely want to talk to anybody with any information pertinent to the event. >> that would be pertinent? >> it would. >> [inaudible] >> the question was do we know if pg and e has been cited regarding pipeline. that's one of the things we will look into. one more question. >> [inaudible] does that tell you anything about what may have happened? >> at this point it's to early to speculate as to what may have happened. my question was does may seeing the scene give me a include. there was a section of the pipe that was blown out of the hole

and onto the street that reflects the size of the explosion that took place, the fact this large piece of pipe was blown the distance it was. that tells me the size of the explosion. >> the question is that unusual, the answer is in explosions nothing is unusual. >> thank you very much. we will have another -- peter will give you the information about when the next press meeting will happen. >> christopher hart. > >> you have been listening to christopher hart, ntsb. spokesperson talking about the investigation into that huge pipeline explosion. couple of interesting things he was talking about. specifically what they are going to look into. looking in to the pipeline but also the maintenance, history, the pressure that pipeline can with stand. the safe guards, also the people operating the pipeline and they are investigate the

emergency preparedness, the response plan that pg and e has and how the company responded once the explosion happened. also something very interesting. he said that right at the top there that 170 houses had been damaged or destroyed. the number that we had use of this morning were much lower than that. >> ken pritchett was at that meeting. ken pritchett. we heard you asking a question there about the people's report that smelling gas before the explosion. >> reporter: obviously you heard the ntsb saying the answer to that question was that is something that obviously is part of their investigation, would be very interesting to the ntsb investigators. that was christopher hart we heard from. he said there are eight investigators. what you said i thought was the most interesting thing. we heard from 170 homes damaged

or destroyed, a different number than we have been hearing. what he said they will be looking for are the experience of the people who were working or had been working that pipeline, they will look at the pipeline in terms of its insulation and maintenance and history. the pressure tolerance of that large pipeline and how much pressure in terms of gas was in that pipeline and they will -- they will look at the -- whether or not there was a proper emergency response plan to an accident like this. they said they will look at what happened and why it happened but they won't be assessing live for what they called an accident and from the ntsb they said it'll take 14 to 16 months to complete the report. we have the video right now of the scene, of the neighborhood from news chopper 2. is this

what is looks like essentially now almost a day later from news chopper two of that neighborhood where you can see the devastation. in an earlier briefing we heard while the investigation of a cause is key officials say their top priority was the search for victims. they said that one quarter of the destroyed homes had not been searched. until that search is complete, the search of all of the homes by search and rescue teams and dogs, that the final number of deaths will not be known. with the daylight and the heavy smoke now gone the true damage can be seen. house after house leveled. this search dog was brought in this morning to work the piles of ash that once were homes and the search for deaths. two more teams joined the effort today. >> they have heavy equipment that can move large objects,

concrete blocks, we have chimneys that are -- could come down. we have trees that could fall. >> reporter: the fire ball that erupted leveled nearby homes and took account 90 minutes to shut off the gas from the pipeline allowing firefighters to get a handle on the fire. today investigators could be seen on scene taking their first steps to finding out what sparked the natural gas. >> right now what we go in and try to exexclude sources of ignition. that's what these guys do. >> reporter: homeowners were kept out of the area which is being treated as a crime scene while the investigation getted underway. the acting california governor offered help and said the search for victims is the top priority. >> right now i'm more anxious to find out what is in that last 25% that we are searching.
