UCLA History: Westwood Explosion

Although you may find this photo of the aftermath of a gas explosion in Westwood dated Feb. 9, 1971, it in fact was taken the next day. On Feb. 9, there was a major earthquake. The day after, the explosion occurred, attributed to leaking gas. Probably, the leak was due to the earthquake or aftershocks. If your truly's memory is correct, the explosion occurred in a building at the corner of Glendon and Kinross.
