The NTSB report states that PG&E "detected gas at the ground level near the accident home" after the original leak was supposedly capped, but despite that, crews began digging operations and less than an hour later the explosion occurred. The report also revealed that PG&E crews knocked on the doors of the accident home and neighboring homes to make contact with the residents, but no one responded.
