Gas leak in Maruyamacho

This morning a Tokyo Gas Emergency crew and a handful of police showed up downstairs, cordoned off our section of the street and investigated a gas leak in the building next door. No-one was evacuated and it was over relatively quickly but it did bring back scary memories of the Shiespa gas explosion that killed three people just down the road at pretty much this time last year.

When the yellow police tape comes out and your apartment is sectioned off, you know it's not gonna be good..
