Today marks the one-year anniversary of the natural gas pipeline explosion in San Bruno that killed eight people and destroyed a neighborhood. A recent National Transportation Safety Board report detailed PG&E's culpability in the explosion, citing ineffective inspections and poor record keeping.

Meanwhile, local legislators are proposing numerous bills at the state and federal level aimed at making the pipeline system safer.

Host Tara Siler talks with Paul Rogers of the Mercury News, who has closely covered this story over the past year.
