A gas pipe ruptured yesterday afternoon shutting down several businesses and streets in South of Market in San Francisco.
The leak occurred as a private construction crew accidentally severed an underground high-pressure gas pipe with a backhoe said a Pacific Gas and Electric Co. worker
Samantha Feldman of Wa-Ha-Ka restaurant said that her employees and patrons were forced to leave, resulting in $500 of lost business.
Many people were standing at the edges of the barrier and Carlann Lauria, manager of Crockers Lockers, had her employees collect payment checks along the police perimeter.
"Ask my customers. They were pretty irate," she said.
PG&E was able to get the gas turned back yesterday evening.
