For even better views of the blast site at the intersection of Earl Ave. and Glenview Dr., I suggest folks go to: Google Maps: Earl Avenue, San Bruno, Calif.

Follow Earl Avenue east until it dead ends into Glenview Drive.

Glenview Drive runs approximately north/south.

You can clearly see a series of asphalt patches that follows the probable location of the pipe that exploded. The patches run along Earl Drive from west to east and end at the blast site.

Note especially the large box shaped patch of asphalt directly where the blast occurred.

Be sure to use 'satellite view', with labels until you get to Earl Drive, then 'remove labels' to clearly see the series of asphalt patches.

The patches show up as slightly darker, rectangular to square, marks on the street.

Looks like a potential crime site to me.
