The car was completely engulfed when the fire department arrived. Watts says it is not yet known if Burgess fell asleep while the vehicle was running or had some other issue that kept him from getting out of the car. He died at the scene from smoke inhalation and thermal injuries associated with the car fire."Note: Minor crash, little damage, but the driver didn't get out, so he burned to death. He may have gotten a whiff of hydrogen sulfide, which knocked him unconscious AND ignited the car (it's both deadly and flammable), and didn't get out because he wasn't conscious. I call this type of crash 'the standard model', as it's becoming very common: veer off road, hit tree, burst into flame, often with fatalities...2013-03-27 - Car

landing gear collapses after landing at airport in College Station (Texas):
http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/Small-Plane-Crashes-at-Easterwood-During-Landing-200101661.htmlNote: He probably hit the brakes after he landed, then the front tires exploded from the brake-friction, and then the landing gear collapsed. This is mainly how the brake-friction and absorbency problem (tire rubber absorbing hydrogen sulfide) affects planes: blown tires or fried brakes or both, followed often by landing gear collapse on small planes (which don't have a lot of redundant tires like large passenger planes do). Often when it's the front landing gear (nose gear) that collapses on these small planes, the plane flips over. It didn't this time, but you can see how easy it is for that to happen from the images in this story. With ground vehicles, this problem results in brakes going out or outright igniting, tires igniting or exploding, fluid lines rupturing (like power steering or brake lines), the vehicle may burst into flame and burn up, or all of the above...2013-03-26 - Small plane makes emergency landing in field near Jamestown (North Dakota):

Two tractor trailers collide head-on, in North Adams (Vermont), 4 injured:
http://www.benningtonbanner.com/local/ci_22872778/update-tractor-trailer-trucks-collide-head-near-hairpinQuote: "North Adams Police Sgt. James Burdick said a tractor-trailer traveling west on Route 2 lost its brakes..."Quote: "The driver of the runaway truck attempted to slow down by riding an embankment alongside the eastbound lane across from Beaver Street, before colliding head-on with another tractor-trailer..."Note: Brake failure is one of the possible consequences as tire rubber absorbs hydrogen sulfide and brake-friction burns hotter than normal (since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot). This problem mainly affects larger massive vehicles like tankers, tractor trailers, dump trucks, etc. This is obviously an extremely serious problem. One wonders just how many people are dying each day just from this one problem alone. Hundreds? Thousands? More? Don't count on your brakes functioning; they could go out at any time now...2013-03-26 - Tractor trailer

coastal Perth (Australia):

Tire rubber is semi-absorbent and it is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane, probably the former since tires rest on the ground and hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas. Then when brakes are applied - like after a plane lands - the heat generated by the brake-friction is hotter than normal (since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot), and then bad things can happen: brakes burn out or ignite, tires ignite or explode, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up on flames, or all of the above. This affects all vehicles with tires, and the more massive the vehicle and the more tires it has, the more likely this problem will manifest. That means that this problem is mostly hitting ground vehicles like tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, cement trucks, buses, RVs, etc. So far as planes are concerned, the most extreme 'blown tire' event so far was when a jumbo jet blew FOURTEEN TIRES after landing in coastal Anchorage (Alaska), as mentioned in the 2013-09-11 update...2013-03-25 - Tanker truck slams into tanker truck after

In other words, fire may have caused the blowout, which then caused the accident, as with many of the tanker truck fires and tractor trailer fires. The problem is that tire rubber is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and that causes brake-friction to burn hotter than normal, which can cause tires to ignite or explode, fluid lines to rupture, brakes to go out or burn up, or the entire vehicle may go up in flames, or all of the above. The more massive the vehicle, the greater the chance that this problem will manifest...2013-03-18 -

chunks of tires found on runway:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VIV-20130318-38554-INDQuote: "The Srinagar airport authorities found the tyre pieces of the aircraft on the runway and immediately alerted the Delhi airport..."Note: Tire rubber is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane, probably the former because hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and tires rest on the ground. This causes the heat from brake-friction to be hotter than normal and brakes burn up, tires ignite or explode, fluid lines rupture and leak, and sometimes the entire vehicle goes up in flames. So far as planes are concerned, the most extreme example of this was a jumbo jet that blew FOURTEEN TIRES as it landed in coastal Anchorage (Alaska), as mentioned in the 2012-09-11 update. This is affecting all vehicles with tires, and it affects massive vehicles (tanker trucks, car-haulers, dump trucks, tractor trailers, buses, RVs, etc) the most because they tend to have more tires and it takes more brake-friction to slow such vehicles...2013-03-17 -

I bet he was braking when it happened too.

That would include tanker trucks, tractor trailers, car-haulers, log trucks, dump trucks, cement trucks, RVs, buses - anything that looks big and massive.2013-03-11 - Tractor trailer

Note: This is what I call 'the standard model' for recent vehicular accidents. Some of these accidents are likely caused by the driver getting a whiff of hydrogen sulfide and losing consciousness and crashing, then fire breaks out more easily than normal (since hydrogen sulfide is also a highly flammable gas). Some of these accidents are also surely caused by the tire absorbency and brake-friction problem, where tire rubber absorbs hydrogen sulfide over time, causing brake-friction to burn hotter than normal, resulting in fried brakes, ruptured brake lines or power steering lines, tires igniting or exploding, the entire vehicle going up in flames, or all of the above...2013-03-11 - Vehicle

veers off road,
goes airborne, near Signal Mountain (Tennessee),
brake failure:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VI-20130311-38477-USAQuote: "Officials say faulty breaks [sic] caused the vehicle carrying 40 people, including the driver, to veer off the side of Signal Mountain Boulevard as an attempt to slow it down."Note: An incident very much like this happened recently in California, where a tour bus's brakes went out near coastal Los Angeles (California) and the bus ended up crashing and killing 8 people and injuring more, as mentioned in the 2013-02-03 update. Hydrogen sulfide and/or methane are being absorbed into tire rubber, probably mostly hydrogen sulfide since it's a heavier-than-air gas and tires rest on the ground. Then when brakes are applied, the brake-friction generates more heat than normal (since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot) and then bad things can happen: brakes burn up or ignite, tires ignite or explode, fluid lines rupture, sometimes the entire vehicle goes up in flame (as just happened to two tractor trailers and a truck in one day, as mentioned in the 2013-03-07 update). This problem is hitting larger vehicles the worst, because A) they have more rubber; and B) they have lots of mass, which means more brake-friction required to slow, which means more chance this problem will manifest. It affects planes too; they are blowing tires and sometimes having their landing gear collapse, mostly after landing (when they tend to hit their brakes the hardest)...2013-03-10 -

Truck slams head-on into minivan in
coastal West Java (Indonesia),
brake failure, 8 killed, 4 injured:
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2013/03/07/8-dead-head-collision-west-java.htmlNote: As mentioned, hydrogen sulfide and/or methane are being absorbed into tire rubber, which is a semi-absorbent material. It's probably mostly hydrogen sulfide because it's a heavier-than-air gas and tires rest on the ground. Then when brakes are applied the brake-friction generates more heat than it would normally (because hydrogen sulfide burns very hot) and the bad things happen: brakes get fried or ignite, tires ignite or explode, power steering lines or hydraulic lines or brake lines rupture from the heat, the vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This tends to happen more to heavy vehicles like buses and tractor trailers and tanker trucks because more mass requires more brake-friction to slow. Massive vehicles often have more tires too, e.g. more rubber that can be contaminated. An incident very much like this happened recently in California, where a tour bus's brakes went out near coastal Los Angeles (California) and the bus ended up crashing and killing 8 people and injuring dozens more, as mentioned in the 2013-02-03 update. There are a growing number of incidents just like this...2013-03-06 - SUV

The truck struck a sign and two trees, then crossed the intersection, striking another sign and a third tree. The final impact stopped the truck, which then caught fire."Note: Sounds like the driver may have gotten a whiff of hydrogen sulfide and lost consciousness shortly before that intersection, then kept on going until something stopped the truck, which then caught fire and incinerated the driver, who may still have been alive at that point. This area is on Florida's Gulf Coast, downwind of the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico, which are surely pluming hydrogen sulfide now...2013-03-06 -

Two passenger planes make emergency landings in

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VIV-20130304-38411-NLDQuote: "The second emergency landing involved a Delta Air Lines plane. It was not immediately clear what prompted that plane to land. Initially, the airport said a fire caused the landing. But a military police official described the issue as one of 'technical difficulties.'"2013-03-04 - Passenger plane makes emergency landing in
coastal Sydney (Australia),
'undercarriage overheated':
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VIV-20130304-38407-AUSQuote: "The plane landed at 1.47pm (AEDT) and ambulance crews assessed about 50 passengers for dehydration. Some passengers reported that the temperature had reached 40 degrees in the cabin. Passengers and crew were treated for heat exposure at the airport and two passengers were taken to hospital, the Qantas spokeswoman said."2013-03-04 - Passenger plane makes emergency landing in Shannon (Ireland), hydraulic problem:
http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/cwcweyeyidmh/Quote: "The system uses pressurised fluid to operate critical mechanical parts, including flaps, speed brakes, and landing gear."Quote: "The crew also advised controllers that because of the hydraulic failure, they would have to manually deploy the landing gear into position. This meant a crank had to be used to release the landing gear which then dropped down with gravity and locked into place."Note: So the hydraulic lines go to the wheels. The wheels are made of rubber and they are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane, probably hydrogen sulfide because tires rest on the ground and hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas. Then when brakes are applied, the brake-friction heat is hotter than normal (because hydrogen sulfide burns very hot) and that extra heat burns or explodes tires, burns up fluid lines, catches the vehicle on fire, or all of the above. There've been a lot of planes this last year with blown tires or 'landing gear problems', but there have also been many with 'hydraulic problems'. I think it's the same underlying cause: the extra heat is blowing tires sometimes, rupturing hydraulic lines sometimes (in which case they can still lower the wheels manually, as in this case)...2013-03-04 - Small passenger jet carrying

http://www.wesh.com/news/central-florida/orange-county/Runaway-fire-truck-rolls-across-busy-street/-/12978032/19161554/-/m2kxdaz/-/index.htmlQuote: "Officials said there was an issue with the brakes."Note: As mentioned, tire rubber is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane, likely the former because it's a heavier-than-air gas and tires sit on the ground. Then when brakes are applied, the brake-friction generates more heat than it normally would (since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot), and then bad stuff can happen: tires ignite and/or explode, brakes burn up, brake lines or hydraulic lines or power steering lines rupture and leak, the vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. The brakes were probably either fried or the brake lines had ruptured from being exposed to more heat than normal...2013-03-03 -

Bus driver loses consciousness, bus careens out of control, in Gdansk (Poland), 2 injured:
http://ktla.com/2013/03/02/caught-on-video-terrifying-moments-after-bus-driver-passes-out/Note: There have been quite a number of events just like this involving bus drivers losing consciousness. As mentioned in the full hypothesis, hydrogen sulfide will be affecting drivers of all kinds of vehicles, knocking them unconscious or dead and causing unusual vehicular accidents. The bus-related events tend to get the most news coverage simply because they're big vehicles and there are often other people involved who witness the event. The events where one person is driving a vehicle and loses consciousness, crashes into a tree and dies - that kind of story often just gets some local news, if even that.2013-03-02 -
