On the TV this morning the lady said he was killed by a second explosion after they responded. It sounded like the typical MO of a terrorist bombing.

| #5 when I was working on the San Diego Airport expansion bridges and Harbor Dr Widening, I chewed the ass off the contractor for leaving lids off the sewer manholes leading to Pump Station #2. Turned out the gases building and increased flowline during everyone's "morning dump" blew the manhole lids 12' in teh air - witnessed by yours truly *ugh*. We put locking lids in after that |

| #4 Make us as fearless in practicing the laws of God as we are brave in protecting the lives and property of our fellowmen, and when we answer our final alarm, enroll us in your Heavenly force, where we will be as proud to protect the throne of God as we have been to protect the city. |

| #2 Manhole covers, underground electrical vaults - it could be something more than an electrical fire run amok, but I suspect it's not. |

| #1 "Typical MO of a terrorist bombing"? No, that would be going off in a crowd of civilians, not underneath the ground where most of it is muffled. |
