Despite two underground explosions in San Francisco in less than three months, experts say that underground power distribution is safer than above ground wires. Here's why.
"A really loud bang. A series of them but the first one was really loud, really loud!" said William Laan of San Francisco."When I realized there were broken windows, and a car was on fire, and fire was coming from the ground it seemed like something more serious," said Ben Short who witnessed the damage.
"The challenge J.R., is that these systems are old, they've been in there 30, 40, 50 years and that equipment gets old. Sometimes they do reach end of life and sometimes they do fail catastrophically," said Beehler.In a statement sent to us Monday night PG Beehler says that underground power distribution is safer than above ground wires despite the two San Francisco incidents in less than three months. Professor Daniel Kirschen of University of Washington agrees.
