An incredible aerial shot taken from the London Eye shows the area affected by the power cut almost completely blacked out after the blaze in Holborn."Note: Last I looked, this fire was still burning 24 hours after it began. The pic of the blacked out area is in the last link. Also see the car that burst into flame on the A118 in the Stratford area in London on this day. A van just exploded and burned at 5:30 AM in the Rotherhithe area in London the other day too, mentioned in the 2015-03-27 update...2015-04-01 -

Car bursts into flame while
parked at Tame
Valley Industrial Estate in Wilnecote (Britain):
http://www.tamworthherald.co.uk/Car-Tame-Valley-Industrial-Estate/story-26273418-detail/story.htmlQuote:"The car, parked near Unite 3 Claymore, was 'well alight' and one crew from Tamworth are currently at the scene."Note: More cars are bursting into flame generally. Since most cars spend most of their time parked, that means that more parked cars are spontaneously igniting. Many people have lost their homes, businesses and lives this way and many more certainly will because people are ignoring the problem. Unfortunately, ignoring problems doesn't make them magically disappear, and people who ignore this problem are going to get burned, definitely metaphorically and possibly literally too. Park a vehicle near anything you don't want to see burning at your own risk...Category: Variety Pack2015-04-03 -
New study shows that hydrogen sulfide was important factor in Permian-Triassic extinction:

Now they're just one step away: it's happening NOW too. It might take 'em a while to reach that conclusion themselves, but since it's the truth then they don't have any choice, unless they prefer to die instead of facing reality. And once they DO reach the same conclusion, then they'll need to understand the effects, the fire vulnerabilities, the neurological problems in animals and humans, the effects on our transportation infrastructure, etc. I've already done a great deal of that work for them, so hopefully that'll give the scientists of the world a leg up once they accept reality, if they should do so before we're all dead...2015-04-03 -

She said the building engulfed in flames was used for offices and storage, and is also used by a private supplier distribution center."Note: I saw some semi trailers in some of the pics and videos, and there was a distribution center here, so I imagine there were some tractor trailers around here somewhere...2015-04-03 -

Also sounds similar to the 'flash of light' that knocked a helicopter out of the sky and killed both occupants in Oklahoma City (Oklahoma), mentioned in the 2013-03-13 update. Smoke in the cabin just sent a passenger plane to an emergency landing the day prior too, in Charleston (West Virginia), mentioned in the 2015-04-03 update.

(Clever way to make this story go away though, blaming a child, but without any charges.) This could be a case where there are multiple factors at play. Like the people burning to death when their CLOTHES ignite while cooking or at firepits and whatnot - what if the upholstery in that car had adsorbed some methane and/or hydrogen sulfide? Then once ignited, it would burn fast and fierce and such fires are not apt to be survivable...2015-04-04 -

Right next to the Gulf of Mexico, North America's sewer, so one would expect people to be dropping dead and cars to be spontaneously igniting here. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and animals and people sickening and/or dying more common during those hours.

Today, there are only 10 percent as many sardines in the water as there were in 2007. Council designee Michele Culver of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife proposed the closure, calling it an 'urgent action.'"Note: The die-off situation is getting dire on the West Coast. It's not just the sardines, but sea lions and birds and starfish dying off hard, whales washing ashore dead, and probably a lot of other living things are dying too, from Mexico to Canada. The West Coast is downwind/downstream of the mammoth dead zone known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which has surely been pluming hydrogen sulfide for some time now, possibly since 2007, when the sardine collapse began, or even earlier, albeit at a lower level back then. There've been plenty of people mysteriously dying along the West Coast too...2015-04-17 -

Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel, found on virtually all vehicles, and copper, especially electrified copper, also found in virtually all vehicles. So vehicles are burning up regularly, and it doesn't matter much if they're parked or driven. This same problem is causing a lot of underground electrical explosions and fires as well, along with many general home and business fires and explosions, animals dying (especially oceanic species), people mysteriously dropping dead, sometimes while foaming at the mouth or bleeding out from nose/mouth/ears, people stripping naked and going insane, etc.You might want to keep something handy in your vehicle to knock out windows and cut seatbelts because some of these vehicular fires disable the electrical functions of vehicles, which can result in people being trapped inside their vehicle as it burns. That's usually fatal and numerous people have died that way, unable to escape before fire consumed them...Category: Unusual Vehicular Accidents2015-04-22 -
Three passengers lose consciousness, 14 sicken, passenger plane makes emergency landing in Buffalo (New York):

A child and another person sickened on a passenger plane flying into Chicago (Illinois), mentioned in the 2014-10-22 update. Five passengers sickened with flu-like symptoms on a passenger plane landing in coastal Boston (Massachusetts), mentioned in the 2014-10-13 update. As many as 60 children sickened on a passenger plane flying from coastal Cape Town (South Africa) to coastal London (Britain), mentioned in the 2014-05-05 update. And so on.Obviously, as the atmospheric contamination has intensified, passenger planes are more often flying through clouds of hydrogen sulfide and people will get poisoned that way. The seats themselves may also become contaminated - possibly before anyone even boards - and in that case nobody will smell anything, but people will still get poisoned by skin contact. The same thing is happening with ground vehicles - people are driving through invisible clouds of gas or touching their seats after the seats have been contaminated, resulting in people losing consciousness, having seizures or 'medical events', or flat-out dying while driving.Hydrogen sulfide and methane are also both highly flammable gases, so more planes and helicopters have been coming down smoking or burning or crashing (though some of the crashes are caused by the pilot falling unconscious or dying at the controls too). And again, the same applies to ground vehicles and boats.Things are getting extremely obvious now...Category: Fires And Explosions2015-04-23 -

Volcanic eruptions and large earthquakes escalating across the planet:

Looking at global magnitude six (M6) or greater from 1980 to 1989 there was an average of 108.5 earthquakes per year, from 2000 to 2009 the planet averaged 160.9 earthquakes per year: that is a 38.9% increase of M6+ earthquakes in recent years."Quote:"Unrest also seems to be growing among the world’s super-volcanoes. Iceland (which is home to some of the most dangerous volcanoes on the planet), Santorini in Greece, Uturuncu in Bolivia, the Yellowstone and Long Valley calderas in the U.S., Laguna del Maule in Chile, Italy’s Campi Flegrei – almost all of the world’s active super-volcanic systems are now exhibiting some signs of inflation, an early indication that pressure is building in these volcanic systems."2015-04-27 -

HazMat event, rotten-egg odor hits business in
Springdale (Arkansas), nothing found:
http://www.4029tv.com/news/fire-ems-responds-to-hazmat-situation-at-independent-labs/32659712Quote:"Firefighters said a portion of the building was evacuated after a 'rotten egg smell' was reported, but there was no hazardous gas or odor found."Note: What kind of detectors did they use? Probably just natural gas detectors. They add methyl mercaptan to natural gas so that it has any smell at all and methyl mercaptan smells like rotten eggs. But so does hydrogen sulfide, and hydrogen sulfide won't show up on natural gas detectors. Hydrogen sulfide will also sink to the ground, flow to basements, and adsorb onto matter, and once it's adsorbed onto matter - like wood, concrete, etc - then it won't show up on gas detectors even if you DO have a hydrogen sulfide gas detector. But it can still poison you via skin contact with the contaminated matter...2015-04-30 -
