than offshore gas? >> that's a goo question, karen. they're different. you know, the -- these shale gas plays are something that haven't been part of kind of the classic oil and gas development over the last few decades. i mean, people typically think of an exploration process panned a development process and then a production process when you bring oil and gas to the market. that's the sequence that you go through. and the exploration process offshore is a low probability of that, you know, 20% or 30% of the exploration wells might result in commercial finds. but that's jus-- that's jules the nature of the -- just the nature of the business. the onshore plays are difference. in many cases, the shale gas was known to be there for a long time. in some cases, producers drilled through it en route to something deeper but they couldn't figure out a way to produce it or the gas market just wasn't there at the time. so these are known presources in those cases. they don't have that exploration risk up fronts.

especially the ability for pg&e to automatically shut off gas in the case of emergency. and who makes that call? director day: right. they are looking into that with the utility companies due to the fact that they are responsible for the utilities and the public rite of way. and we can only be responsible for the utilities that are on the property. commissioner walker: right. director day: so our building inspectors are look as they go through the building to make sure there are proper gas shutoffs in the buildings that they do inspect. we don't have a mandatory program at this time to do that, but that's something that we can look into. commissioner walker: good. yeah, that's a big deal. and it's one that we actually -- the ability to have somebody make a call to shutoff gas to quadrants is a big deal. and this would be probably a good process to include that conversation in. president murphy: commissioner hechanova? commissioner hechanova: i would like to add besides just shutoff of gas but the possibility of also water that might not become available to fight the fire

above that, it turns into a potentially deadly gas. this diagram illustrates gas intensity levels throughout the subway car, as measured by first-responders. now, using that data, i was able to run a gaussian plume dispersion model... a manner in which to determine the pattern of the gas release. now, to the naked eye, a gas release can appear as one large cloud. the gas will spread from its release point driven by air currents to open doors and windows. obstacles in the path of the gas will affect it's dispersion. one large cloud is actually comprised of many separate plumes. using a generalized diffusion equation i was able to backtrack, to find the origin point of the gas release. your assailant released the gas here-- precisely in the center of the car. why right there? well, this placement allows for the greatest dispersion. see, this air ducts on the perimeter, there's no way for the gas to vent out. right. theoretically it was released in a way to maximize deaths. remember, you said the phosgene was diluted. and it was, by mixin
