Maldonado calls for quicker investigation into San Bruno explosion

California's acting governor, Lt. Governor Abel Maldonado, called the timeline for an investigation into the rupture of a natural gas pipeline in San Bruno "unacceptable."

The explosion and fire killed seven people, injured dozens more and destroyed nearly 40 homes.

National Transportation Safety Board members investigating the disaster said it will take at least a year to complete their investigation.

Lt. Governor Abel Maldonado said California can't wait that long. He called on the Public Utilities Commission to immediately ensure the safety of California's natural gas transmission lines.
