Manhole cover blown off in San Francisco Financial District

Caution

I've been trying out my photojournalistic skills recently with the two incidents I've covered. On Sunday it was the San Bruno Mountain fire and today it was a blast that happened a hop, skip and a jump from where I work.

This afternoon a loud blast or what sounded like a crash or explosion broke the afternoon lull in the office. We all rushed to the windows to be rubberneckers. There was black smoke coming from the ground. Sirens were howling. Pretty soon police secured the area with yellow tape and rerouted traffic.

No one really knew what happened. It made everyone jittery and brought thoughts of terrorism to mind. Apparently it was just a blast underground. Here's the Chronicle's story.


Whenever you drive your car, be careful not to leave any valuables on the seat. Thieves can break into your car really quickly. See this video.
