At around 6pm today there was a simulated tanker truck explosion on the Interstate 280 offramp at King Street in San Francisco that was part of an accident scene that was being shot for the pilot episode of the new NBC television series “Trauma”. Here’s more coverage from the San Francisco Chronicle, including a great video of the explosion.

Here are photos of the scene from WHAT IM SEEING, Mr_Andre and Ian. Additional photos can be found in The Filming of NBC’s Trauma Flickr group.
