that tree. >> reporter: these are the images he captured from his front lawn but instead of evacuating like everyone else, once the gas was turned off. >> i didn't think there would be any more bang bang explosions going on. so i went to bed. i didn't sleep that good but i went to bed. and then i get up in the morning and i find out i am sitting in a crime scene. >> reporter: at that point he was forced to evacuate but not before capturing a few more pictures. >> have you seen your car? >> reporter: pictures that came in handy when he reunited with neighbors as they waited for the go ahead to return home. >> we are going to be sending people back in waves according to time. >> reporter: for many it was the first confirmation their friends survived the blast. >> this is my neighbor across the street. >> thank god you are okay. >> reporter: but for every happy reunion there was the memory of those who won't be returning home. >> i knew the two corner houses down there, i knew those two

ladies. i used to walk my dog down there, past her house all the time. the lady on the right, she had a wonderful garden, she took a lot of pride in her yard. >> reporter: that yard is now gone along with 26 others. the owners of these homes will find out tomorrow when they get to return to see the destruction first hand. in the meantime, pg&e trucks line the streets of this san bruno neighbourhood, the company is providing dumpsters and promises to have utilities returned tonight and stationed on every corner to answer questions but there is one question they can't yet answer. how could this have happened. >> keep going. >> reporter: pg&e said today contrary to what neighbors told us they have no records indicating anyone ever called in to report the smell of gas in the days leading up to the explosion that angered residents we talked to today who said not only did they call in they saw pg&e crews testing

for gas early last week. they are asking anyone with specific information about those phone calls to contact them as soon as possible. julie, the man you talked with seems so relaxed the night this is going on he wasn't afraid? >> reporter: you know, he said the fire seemed to be burning away from him, he was up wind and once they turned the gas off he thought well, i am tired i am just going to go back to bed. >> stunning. all right julie watts, thank you. >> of this six people reported missing this morning the city said two of them have been found alive, and that leaves four people still unaccounted for the coroner confirmed four fatalities, jaclyn greg and her 13-year-old daughter janessa and 20-year-old jessica morales the coroner is working to identify the fourth victim. >> as far as remains located we are in the process of doing forensic tests. >> the coroner says while more remains were found it is not

clear if they are from victims already accounted for. they do not specify where the remains were found or how long it might take to identify them. >> three parishioners of a san bruno church are among the missing, 50-year-old greg, his 16-year-old son william and his elderly mother. a family member who wasn't at home at the time says she does believe they were inside the house when it went up in flames. just a few minutes ago authorities released new details about the investigation. dawn what did they have to say? >> reporter: yeah, they just wrapped up this second full day of investigation they had a news conference talking about it. one thing they addressed was this whole issue of not having a report for 12, 18 months. they said as soon as they find facts they will get them along as soon as possible. they will pass them out right away if it means changing things, issuing orders they will do that but will have a detailed study in 16 to 18

months. christopher hart addressed a couple year yous the investigation and then whether or not folks did report smelling gas before the blast. here is christopher hart. >> i mentioned previously a 28- foot section of pipe that was blown out of the ground, blown 100 feet and sitting on the street. that piece of pipe, that 28- foot section of 30-inch pipe we are as we speak crating it up, putting it in a crate because investigators decided that needs to go back to our metalargy labs in washing to on the. we have heard -- washington we have heard people reported smelling gas but have no response to those reports. from the various sources we are looking to for that we are not able to find instances of people who reported an odour and we would ask anybody who

says they reported smelling gas, to contact us through whatever means including that e- mail address. >> that e-mail address they gave earlier was san bruno. one word, at ntsb.gov. anyone with information is asked to say what they think they know in an e-mail and send it to them. we are learning more about that gas line the ruptured segment was considereds to be high consequence area it should get more rigid inspections than other gas lines according to puc documents dug up by associated press. a company spokesman said the proactive policy is make repairs and keep lines well maintained we've also learned today from the puc that they have issued an order. getting help from the camera man, issued an order to inspect its natural gas line system including an integrity assessment of the national gas -- natural gas line system giving priority to high

pressure transmission lines in areas of highest population density the order was prompted yesterday by the lieutenant governor's request to do just that. looks like a lot of focus now coming down on these lines the age of the lines, inspection, transmissions, controls and how closely they were monitored in this line and lines elsewhere. >> all right seems like they talk a lot. john will they bereave reporters again to -- brief reporters again tomorrow or are they finished? >> i think they will continue giving reports we are still not giving hard facts just learning about the investigation. >> done nap thank you. as for the size of that crater that was left behind it measures 167 feet by 26 feet and they don't know how deep it is yet because it is still too unstable to put anyone inside. investigators say the 28- foot long segment of the 30- inch pipe on the street blew 100 feet away from its original position.
