| On May 19, 2008, an explosion occurred in the fifth floor mechanical room of a 31-story Hilton Hotel under construction. Pipe unions had been left open following the purging of gas lines, allowing natural gas to escape and fuel the explosion. Employees #1 and #2, with Sherwood Mechanical, Inc., were preparing to start up Raypac water heaters (Model Number WH7-0753, Serial Numbers 0703264044/45/46/47/48/49). Both were hospitalized at the UCSD Burn Center for unspecified burns. | ||||||
