Hair, bedding, both adsorbent flammable materials. The woman's hair probably ignited from static electricity after adsorbing odorless methane during the day. The bed could have ignited for the same reason, or maybe there was some rust (bed springs) or electrified copper nearby. You just can't count on your hair or bed not bursting into flame while you sleep anymore...!2015-06-01 -

Person found dead in burning car at 2:20 AM in Fort Worth (Texas):
http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/fort-worth/article23012304.htmlNote: And sometimes when the vehicles being driven ignite, it kills the occupant(s). And the parked vehicles igniting have been burning down homes here and there too, sometimes killing people indirectly that way. Some of the people killed in the car fires have been trapped inside when the power locks and windows stop working, so if you drive then you might want to keep something handy with which to cut seatbelts and break windows, in case that happens to you. You may only have seconds to act, assuming your vehicle doesn't just explode and kill you instantly, which is apparently what happened to that man in Prestwich...Category: Fires And Explosions2015-06-04 -

In separate incidents, sharks attack and injure two teens, each one loses an arm, at Oak Island (North Carolina):

The second shark attack was reported at 5:30 p.m."Quote:"A 12-year-old girl and 16-year-old boy each lost an arm Sunday in separate shark attacks at the same North Carolina beach."Quote:"'He looked like he was waving at his friends,' Randy Milligan said of the unidentified 16-year-old boy who was attacked. 'Then the shark just came out of the water and like you snap your fingers -- bit his whole arm off.' Milligan told ABC News that the shark was large and was able to fit the majority of the boy's left arm in one bite."Note: That's some serious Jaws action there! I wonder if their normal prey is dying off. There have been many fish kills reported in North Carolina. There was also a mysterious huge explosion off the coast of North Carolina in March, followed by a massive number of dead fish washing ashore, mentioned in the 2015-03-18 update. That was likely a methane and/or hydrogen sulfide bubble breaching the surface and exploding, and either the explosion or suffocation killed those fish, or both. Last August scientists reported discovering at least 570 new seeps venting methane along the East Coast from North Carolina to Massachusetts, mentioned in the 2014-08-24 update. So if sharks lose their normal prey, they might just start snacking on whatever is handy and easy to kill, like people. From the full hypothesis: "Predators will attempt to adapt to the changes in the biosphere and may turn to our pets or to us as an alternate source of nutrition."Category: Fires And Explosions2015-06-15 -

Gas erupts from pond at golf course in
Lambton Shores (Canada), on
Lake Huron:

The team joins police, fire and Union Gas crews. They were called out at approximately 7:52 a.m. Wednesday by a report of an odour and arrived to find natural gas bubbling up out of a small pond, police said. It was determined to be a gas pocket, police said. Lambton OPP are asking the public to avoid the area, and said Indian Hills Trail West was restricted to local traffic. Police said it was unknown how long the gas leak, described as a natural event, would continue."Note: Natural gas is odorless, so this wasn't JUST natural gas leaking. That people described it as 'an odor of gas' means that they smelled 'rotten egg' odor. The bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide eat natural gas (e.g. methane), so this had to be hydrogen sulfide AND natural gas exploding out of that pond. This is the same thing they said in California when gas erupted out of Santa Monica Bay and hit Santa Monica with a foul odor, mentioned in the 2013-03-03 update - they said that was a 'naturally-occurring methane release'. I'm sure there WAS some methane that exploded out of the ocean in the bay there, but there was ALSO hydrogen sulfide, which is what the 'foul odor' was.The 'naturally-occurring' part doesn't mean there's nothing to worry about. The Permian-Triassic extinction - the 'Great Dying' - was a 'naturally-occurring' event too, but it still killed most life on this planet, and the current extinction event will do the same. Maybe your corpse will end up with a toe tag on it that says 'died from naturally-occurring event', but dead is still dead...2015-06-17 -

Lots of dead people are being found in the water near their boats too, sometimes with their empty 'ghost boat' still running in circles. Also see the man who went missing at Lake Winnipesaukee (New Hampshire) on this day with his empty 'ghost boat' found circling, just one of many many similar events. Even if your boat doesn't burst into flame and/or explode then you might just slump over unconscious or dead and fall off of it, and if you fall into water while unconscious then you're highly likely to breathe water until dead...Category: Fires And Explosions2015-06-21 -

Dunno, could be, but that may not have been the ONLY factor at play here. Powder and dust is a problem because it has a lot of surface area, and both methane and hydrogen sulfide will cling to the surface of dust, any kind of dust. That means that even inflammable dust, like granite dust or iron dust, can BECOME flammable if it's contaminated. Was the dust here contaminated? There's no way to know - nobody checked. If it was stored outside, open to the air, then however flammable it may have been normally, it could easily have become extraordinarily flammable, way worse than anyone would expect.This area is also a coastal community and this event was outdoors. Did any flammable and odorless methane blow in off the ocean during this event? No way to know - nobody is checking. Nobody would see methane, or smell it, that's certain. An outdoor venue, on the coast, with a huge fire and hundreds injured - it's suspicious. Maybe this was a bad mistake with the dust or powder, or maybe that wasn't the entirety of the problem, or maybe that wasn't the problem at all. We'll never know for sure why these people burned. Regardless, when 500+ people go up in flames at an outdoor venue near a coast, it's worth noting, so note it I do.The biggest underground explosion/fire event to occur anywhere on the planet so far also happened in Taiwan, in late July in 2014. A series of massive underground explosions and fires blew up several streets at midnight in the port city of Kaohsiung (Taiwan), killing dozens of people and injuring hundreds, mentioned in the 2014-07-31 update. So this devastating fire in Taipei isn't even the first huge and anomalous fire event on the island in the last year. One might be a fluke. Two? Coincidence? Seems doubtful, but three will certainly be a pattern, so let's see what happens next...Category: Fires And Explosions2015-06-28 -
