More fallout from the deadly explosion in San Bruno that killed eight people after a PG& natural gas pipeline ruptured back in 2010. The state Public Utilities Commission says PG&E now admits it never checked for gas leaks in a much broader swath of California than the company previously disclosed following the explosion.
PG&E officials told the PUC they misplaced more than a dozen maps of their pipeline system and, as a result, never did leak surveys in any of those locations.
The utility has been hit with a 16 million dollar fine in connection with those violations, a fine PG&E says it will appeal.
