Boiler collaspes and kills one worker and injures two at PG&E closed power plant.

The negotiations at the Stake Holders meeting led to the shut down of the Hunters Point Power Plant - two years ago.

It has been some years now that after the total shut down of the toxic spewing old power plant - that Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has been involved with the deconstruction of this old power plant.

CityBuild a training program from the Mayor's Office has been involved in placing some youth at this job site. I hope the worker killed had nothing to do with CityBuild.

The report on site stated that one person was killed and two injured.

When I was there attempts were being made to remove a body - and so reporters and others NOT involved in the rescue mission - were not allowed near the site of the incident.

The PG&E incident site was surrounded by the San Francisco Fire Department - the front line agency involved in the rescue of those workers hurt and the one killed.

CityBuild should be fore-warned NOT to place any youth in such jobs. I know that very minimal training is given and I am waiting to hear detail reports - about this incident.

I went to the site because I know some youth that know me that work on this site. So far none of them has been hurt - but you never know - since I did not physically see them one at a time.

Here are some photographs:
