Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas

http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html

The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.

A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.

2013-05-29 - Enbridge Energy Partners fights for right to reject crude oil with high levels of hydrogen sulfide:

http://in.reuters.com/article/2013/05/29/column-kemp-bakken-pipelines-idINL5N0EA3SU20130529

Quote: "The pipeline operator made the application just three days after the vapours in one crude tank at Berthold terminal in North Dakota were sampled and found to contain H2S at an extremely high concentration of 1200 parts per million, more than enough to be fatal."

Quote: "Hydrogen sulphide is explosive when mixed with air, and can cause severe corrosion to oil field equipment including pipelines."

Note: It can cause corrosion to all steel and concrete, not just oil field equipment...

Quote: "The characteristic rotten egg smell is detectable at concentrations well under 1 ppm, and becomes sickly sweet over 30 ppm, but is dangerously odourless when the concentration rises over 100 ppm because the olfactory nerves in the nose are paralysed. Concentrations of as little as 50-200 ppm can cause shock, convulsions and coma. Inhaling H2S in excess of 1,000 ppm will cause immediate respiratory paralysis followed by death according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ('Report to Congress on Hydrogen Sulfide Air Emissions Associated with the Extraction of Oil and Gas' 1993)."

Quote: "In the next shipping cycle after the April 1 restrictions on competitor pipelines went into effect, there was a dramatic increase to the proportion of crude tendered to Enbridge North Dakota with high levels of hydrogen sulfide."

Quote: "Most oil and gas fields produce some hydrogen sulphide but the proportion varies widely. Oil fields tend to produce relatively little, while in a gas field the proportion can rise to 40 percent or even 90 percent. Twenty 'vulnerability zones' have been identified in the United States which are especially prone to hydrogen sulphide in underground formations linked with oil and gas."

Note: Lots of interesting information here. Maybe what's most interesting is that hydrogen sulfide levels are apparently rising. The ancient anaerobic bacteria that biogenically generate hydrogen sulfide like warm temps, water and low oxygen levels. With the obvious rise in volcanism around the world, it seems reasonable to think that heat is rising from the core of the Earth to the surface. This will expand the territory of those bacteria, not just in the oceans, seas and lakes, but possibly in underground areas near or below the water table too. Those bacteria also eat methane, which is the primary 'ingredient' in natural gas. So they may be below ground now, growing their numbers as the environment increasingly suits them, resulting in higher H2S concentrations in gas and oil deposits. This may explain all the fracking too - to get that natural gas out of the ground before those ancient anaerobic bacteria use it as food and convert it into deadly and explosively flammable hydrogen sulfide.

Quote: "As per information the fire broke out around 11 am in a air condition unit."

Note: What do air conditioner units do? They move the atmosphere around. They also contain electrified copper wiring, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. Also, air conditioning units are usually located outside, fully exposed to whatever hydrogen sulfide and/or methane may blow through in the atmosphere...

Quote: "The driver said he tried to stop the transporter but the fire had burnt through its air brakes which caused them to fail."

Quote: "Two Lamborghinis, a BMW, a Bentley and two other vehicles were damaged in the fire."

Note: Actually, they say it was one of the cars being hauled that burst into flame, then the fire spread to other cars. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually his brakes that caught fire first and that caught the cars on fire. Either way, same result: several luxury cars burned up. Also...CHA-CHING!

Note: The boy got into trouble, dad went to help, then they both disappeared and were later found dead. This sounds suspiciously like a classic hydrogen sulfide poisoning scenario here, where 1 person succumbs then someone else comes to help and they succumb too, and sometimes this repeats for a while and bodies pile up...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-22706237

Quote: "Our engineers carried out checks and have found no problem on our gas network."

Note: Natural gas actually HAS no odor. They add stinky mercaptan to it so that it can be smelled, and mercaptan smells like 'rotten eggs', just as hydrogen sulfide does at low concentrations. So I think many times when people say they smell 'gas', they are confusing the smell of hydrogen sulfide with that of mercaptan. No sign of a gas leak here either, so whatever the smell was, it came through the air, not through gas lines. The fact that a fatality resulted is also a clue that this may have been hydrogen sulfide and not any 'gas leak'. Also see the event below where 'gas' was smelled at the airport in Sacramento and 2 workers sickened - possibly the same scenario there.

2013-05-30 - Missing boater, 40, washes ashore dead tethered to his boat, in Cuba:

http://www.abc-7.com/story/22469427/missing-boater-rydberg-fort-myers-key-west-dead-cuba

Quote: "The Coast Guard received a distress radio beacon from Rydberg's boat around 4 a.m. on May 14th, 30 miles north of Key West. They launched a crew but weren't able to find Rydberg or his boat. They called off the search four days later."

Note: The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane floating in the atmosphere above closer to the ground, making explosions, fires and hydrogen sulfide poisoning events more common during those hours. I mentioned this man when he went missing, in the 2013-05-22 update. Lots of fishermen have gone missing similarly, though usually they find their empty 'ghost boat' first then the corpse(s) later. This story here sorta reminds me of 'Dracula', where the ship washed ashore with the captain tied to the wheel...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2333717/Paralegal-26-dead-boyfriends-bathtub-drowned-suffering-seizure.html

Quote: "Sources close to the investigation say Julia Papazian Law had been foaming at the mouth and likely suffered an episode that caused her drowning. No drugs or alcohol were found at the scene."

Note: Mentioned this story in the 2013-05-25 update, when they first found this young woman dead in the bathtub. Hydrogen sulfide poisoning can cause seizures and foaming at the mouth. It's also water-soluble and I'm pretty sure it's contaminating municipal water supplies here and there now (as well as the water in lakes, creeks, ponds, rivers, etc). But she may also have had a window open and simply gotten a whiff the old-fashioned way too...

2013-05-31 - Huge inferno devours thousands of pallets at pallet yard at 3:30 AM, lights up the night sky, in Doncaster (Britain):

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-22739822
http://www.brightonwired.co.uk/news.php/1487420-Doncaster-pallet-yard-fire-spreads

Quote: "All the pallets, many thousands of them, have been destroyed in the fire."

There have been numerous pallet fires over the past year or so, some of them simply gigantic. Pallets have a number of vulnerabilities to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem. First, they're made of wood, and all flammable absorbent materials are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting, including wood, paper, cardboard, sawdust, dried brush, mulch, hay, straw, clothing, cotton, wool, etc. Secondly, they're held together with steel nails or screws, which rust, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel; sparking and fire can result from contact between rusty iron/steel and gaseous hydrogen sulfide, no flame or heat source necessary. Finally, pallets are often kept outside, where they are fully exposed to any hydrogen sulfide or methane blowing by in the atmosphere. Consequently, there've been lots of pallet-related fires. Wood porches and decks and fences all have these same vulnerabilities, although they are usually better-protected with sealants or paint or both...

Quote: "Police listed the case as a possible drug overdose, but no drugs or paraphernalia were found in a search of Brittnee’s room and purse."

Note: I mentioned the authorities will likely try to use 'drug overdose' as an excuse to disguise some of the deaths caused by hydrogen sulfide poisoning. So they found zero evidence of any drug involvement here - none at all - and what do they do? They list possible drug overdose as cause of death. Sure, that's possible, but so is hydrogen sulfide poisoning...

Quote: "A Texas City man was found dead in his partially submerged car after he suffered an apparent heart attack..."

Note: Say, that's exactly what hydrogen sulfide is going to look like in many cases: an apparent heart attack. And this city is right on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, near its dead zones, which are surely pluming hydrogen sulfide now. Also, as mentioned in the full hypothesis: "More people will be found dead in submerged vehicles."

Note: Can you really ever have enough electrodeposited dicyano-ferriprotoporphyrin?! I think not! Actually, I have no idea what any of that means other than it sounds like it'd possibly lead to the ability to mitigate hydrogen sulfide within the human body, and that sounds useful.

Quote: "Copeland Furniture makes products for companies such as Crate and Barrel. On Tuesday, firefighters responded to a sawdust fire at the Ethan Allen furniture plant in Orleans."

Note: I had to do a double-take on this story, thought maybe they'd confused something with the Ethan Allen fire. But nope, different company here, different day, but otherwise, same exact scenario. Silos at a wood pellet plant also burst into flame recently in North Clarendon (Vermont), as mentioned in the 2013-04-27 update. So that's three sets of silos containing flammable absorbent materials (sawdust, sawdust, wood pellets) bursting into flame in a span of about 4 days. Well, I did mention in the full hypothesis that wood-related businesses were going to burn hard...

Quote: "Firefighters on the scene radioed that Naval Base Ventura County, which is backed up to the Pacific Ocean, should be advised that flames had leapt the iconic coastal highway that was the only barrier beween the fire and the facility."

Quote: "Hazmat teams are trying to contain a massive California wildfire that is threatening 2,000 homes. Locals are being warned not to inhale the smoke - especially since highly toxic pesticides have caught fire and are releasing dangerous chemical fumes. And while smoke inhalation is never healthy, the fumes of this wildfire are particularly dangerous: fire officials on Thursday warned that a store of highly toxic pesticides caught fire at an agricultural property in Laguna Farms, near the university campus."

Note: I did mention there'd be more coastal fires. This fire burned right to the ocean, and it's huge, devastating, fierce. Is this fire as destructive as the inferno that destroyed an entire community near coastal Myrtle Beach in March? (Mentioned in the 2013-03-16 update.) Not yet, but this fire's still got legs...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like battery cables and wiring on vehicles of all kinds. This is now the 5th event that I know of involving a motor or vehicle starting itself. This may be because a fire involving hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with copper might melt away insulation on wiring and the vehicle then basically 'hot-wires' itself and starts its own engine. And then you end up with a 'ghost vehicle' starting itself and moving around on its own, quite possibly while it's burning, as in this case...

2013-05-05 - Atlantic Ocean temps off the US Northeast now the highest in recorded history (150 years):
http://www.sportfishingmag.com/news/atlantic-ocean-northeast-warmest-150-years

Quote: "A deviation in average temperature by more than a degree is uncommon; this increase, from the average of 54.3 degrees F. over past 30 years to 57.2 degrees F. in the second half of last year is the highest jump measured. It is also an amount of warming not seen in any other ocean."

Note: That large temperature increase is surely why the methane clathrate deposits off the US East Coast are now dissociating. There are around 2,500 megatons of methane in those deposits alone, which if distributed efficiently and detonated would be enough to completely destroy the largest thousand cities on Earth. And that's just the proverbial tip of the iceberg; other methane deposits are now dissociating too. It is strange that scientists are all so willing to talk about the global warming aspects of these methane releases, but few speak about how flammable methane is, and the devastating fires and explosions that will result from a methane-infused atmosphere. And that's without factoring in oceanic hydrogen sulfide releases. I guess they'll wake up once the fires and explosions get devastating enough, and that's just a matter of time now...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas which will seek out low-lying areas like underground facilities. It is also an explosively flammable gas and it is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in underground electrical facilities. As a consequence, as the atmosphere becomes increasingly contaminated by hydrogen sulfide, not only are more people and animals dropping dead, and not only are more vehicles of all kinds - and homes and businesses - bursting into flame and/or exploding, but there is also a rising number of underground electrical fires and explosions occurring in towns and cities all over. Dubuque lies along the western shore of the Mississippi River...

Note: Two similar events happened the day prior, one in Albany (New York) and one in Dubuque (Iowa), as mentioned in the 2013-05-06 update. The underground electrical fire in Albany was the fourth in that city since September, 2012. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas which will seek out low-lying areas like basements, underground parking garages, sewers, underground electrical facilities, etc. It is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that used in underground electrical infrastructure. So as the atmosphere becomes increasingly contaminated, more undergound electrical fires and explosions are obviously one consequence...

And the day before that, two similar events happened, in Albany (New York) and in Dubuque (Iowa), as mentioned in the 2013-05-06 update. Many more underground explosions and fires have occurred in the last year or so, and these events are clearly escalating as our atmosphere continues to be contaminated by hydrogen sulfide coming from the oceans. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly flammable heavier-than-air gas which will seek out low-lying areas like basements, underground parking garages, underground electrical facilities, etc. It is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper like that found in vehicles and homes and businesses and in underground electrical facilities. This problem may ultimately be what permanently turns off the lights for human civilization...

2013-05-09 - Persistent 'rotten egg' smell coming off the ocean in coastal Quincy (Massachusetts):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=HZ-20130509-39181-USA

Note: Hydrogen sulfide smells like 'rotten eggs' in very low concentrations. At higher concentrations you either don't smell it at all, or the smell fades rapidly, and it may then have a different odor, which people describe differently depending on the individual: chemically, 'sickly sweet', 'flowery', etc. And the ability to smell it still fades rapidly, since hydrogen sulfide causes olfactory paralysis. So they're probably getting hit with hydrogen sulfide in low concentration. But it's a heavier-than-air gas, so it will accumulate in low-lying areas and concentrate over time, possibly to dangerous or lethal levels...

2013-05-10 - Mystery plane flying low over coastal Quincy (Massachusetts), from dusk to dawn:
http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/05/09/mystery-aircraft-frightens-quincy-residents/
http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2013/05/10/mysterious-low-flying-planes-bother-quincy-residents/Qcsw4qP2hFJQEspghZ2aIL/story.html

Note: In the 2013-05-09 update, I mentioned that a persistent 'rotten egg' odor has been coming off the ocean at Quincy (Massachusetts). That's what hydrogen sulfide smells like in low concentrations. This plane is flying at night. As mentioned, once the Sun sets, the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the atmosphere above closer to the ground. So it's possible this plane is flying over Quincy for one or more of the following reasons: 1) to monitor hydrogen sulfide and methane concentrations in the atmosphere there; 2) to try some sort of mitigation tactic to alleviate the problem as best they can; 3) to act as a spotter so that the corpses of people who die from hydrogen sulfide poisoning can be cleared off the streets before large numbers of people get moving in the morning and see them.

The residents have been unable to find out who is operating the plane or for what purpose. Some of the answers they've gotten are less than reassuring:

Quote: "It’s not the state or local police doing the flying, and the FAA is giving out little information, even to city officials. 'It’s frustrating, it really is,' says City Councillor Brian Palmucci. 'I specifically asked, "Is it a law enforcement flight? Can we tell people that?" He said, "No, we can’t tell you that." Then I asked that when folks call me can I at least tell them that it is something that they shouldn’t worry about, it’s something they shouldn’t be concerned with?He said, "I can’t tell you that."’”

Note: So, 'rotten egg' odor coming off the ocean, mystery plane buzzing the city at night, and secrecy abounds. Hmmmm...

2013-05-12 - Massive inferno destroys 37 buses at depot near Newquay (Britain), a third of company's fleet wiped out:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-22506806
http://www.middevonstar.co.uk/news/10415107.Huge_fire_near_Newquay_destroys_37_buses/
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2323714/Third-transport-firm-Western-Greyhounds-fleet-goes-huge-Cornwall-destroys-35-buses.html

Quote: "The blaze in Summercourt, near Newquay, Cornwall, broke out at about 1am today and caused significant disruption to services in the middle of the county, including some school buses."

Quote: "I was terrified to be honest. It was quite windy so the fire was spreading really quickly - thank God in the opposite direction to us. Once it had caught all the buses that were down there, the flames were enormous, 50 or 60ft easily with billowing black smoke. It was really intense."

Quote: "Once the fire was confirmed out it was established that a total of 37 buses had been involved."

Quote: "The scale of the blaze means that bus services across Mid Cornwall will be affected, with no park and ride service from Truro operating today. Disruption to school and general bus services is also expected."

Note: This is the new record for most buses burning up in one fire. The previous record was 30 buses, when a huge fire broke out at a bus depot in Seoul (South Korea), as mentioned in the 2013-01-15 update. The record for most semis burning up in one fire is 11, when a blaze hit a truck repair shop in New Windsor (New York), mentioned in the 2013-03-21 update. The record for most boats burning up in one fire is 58, which were consumed in a devastating fire on Norris Lake in Lafollette (Tennessee), mentioned in the 2012-09-10 update. And the record for most vehicles of any type burning up in one fire is 200, when a vehicle storage facility filled with RVs, boats and collector cars went up in flames in Mishawaka (Indiana), mentioned in the 2013-02-11 update.

There is a town in Illinois that is now renting garbage trucks because they lost all of theirs in a fire. As this problem escalates, eventually there will be no garbage trucks left TO rent and garbage pickup will end, first in one town or city then another and so on. The same goes for delivery of food to grocery stores and delivery of fuel to gas stations as semis and tanker trucks are wiped out. We could at least postpone these hardships by confronting reality and taking some simple steps, like parking vehicles well away from each other. They might only have lost ONE bus in this fire if they'd taken just that one precautionary step. Now mass transit and kids getting to school has been disrupted in that area, probably significantly.

By ignoring the atmospheric problem that is upon us, we hasten and exacerbate hardship and accelerate our demise. Is that really what people want to do? Will people still think that was wise when they're starving, they can't get fuel, and garbage is piling up everywhere? We will see...

2013-05-13 - Underground explosions and fire ignite cars, cut power, in coastal Brooklyn (New York):
http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/05/13/exploding-manholes-set-cars-on-fire-cut-power-in-brooklyn/

Quote: "Several manholes exploded in Brooklyn on Monday, setting cars on fire and sending people running for their safety."

Quote: "And when the manholes did blow, at least two had cars sitting on top of them. Hernan Gonzalez came home to find his car burned to a crisp on the bottom with the bumper off, with the manhole still smoking underneath."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will seek out low-lying areas like underground electrical facilities, sewers, basements, underground parking garages, etc. It's also highly flammable and reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in underground electrical facilities. If you have a vehicle, you might not want to park right on top of - or even near - any manholes. Might wanna be cautious about WALKING over them too, for that matter...

Quote: "At about 8 p.m. Tuesday, the Skye Marie, an 85-foot shrimp boat moored at the fueling station on the Anclote River's south bank, caught fire."

Quote: "Longtime residents said that it was one of the worst fires ever seen in the area."

Quote: "A witness, 53-year-old Bill Gresko, saw 5-foot-high flames sprint across the river and ignite a dock on the opposite shore. 'It was almost in an instant,' said Gresko, who has worked as a sponge diver for 30 years and said he had had never seen anything like it. 'For almost half an hour the river was on fire.'"

Quote: "Boat owner Billy Harris of Port Richey told the Times he had just put $18,000 worth of fuel into the boat. He says he has no idea what started the fire. 'There was no power to it,' he said. 'An act of God, I guess.' Harris said he has no insurance for the boat, which is named after his granddaughter."

2013-05-15 - Passenger plane skids off runway into the Kaligandaki River (Nepal), 21 injured (4 critically):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VI-20130516-39262-NPL
http://news.sky.com/story/1091732/nepal-plane-crash-four-critical-in-runway-smash

Quote: "One of the wheels of the plane had problem while landing. The plane skidded off the runway and fell into the Kaligandaki River flowing alongside..."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "As planes land, they will more frequently blow tires, or their landing gear will collapse, or they will run off runways." A plane just ran off the runway in McMinnville (Oregon) too, as mentioned in the 2013-05-13 update.

Hydrogen sulfide is being absorbed by tire rubber. Then when brakes are applied, the brake-friction generates more heat than normal, since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. Then bad things can happen: tires explode or ignite, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. With planes what usually happens is one or more tires blow or the brakes burn out. When the tires blow, if it's a small plane, then the strut digs into the ground and the landing gear collapses. When the brakes burn out then you get planes running off the runway. This usually happens after landing - as in this case - because that's when planes generally hit their brakes hardest...

http://www.abc6onyourside.com/shared/news/features/top-stories/stories/wsyx_explosion-felt-at-buckeye-lake-23904.shtml

Note: These mysterious explosions - of which there have been many - are likely caused by atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and/or methane plumes finding an ignition source and detonating. As time goes on and the atmosphere becomes increasingly contaminated with both gases, these explosions are highly likely to destroy entire neighborhoods and quite possibly entire towns and large sections of cities...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is being absorbed into tire rubber and probably brake pads. Then when brakes are applied, the brake-friction generates more heat than normal (because hydrogen sulfide burns very hot), and then bad things can happen: tires ignite or explode, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. Many planes have experienced landing gear issues in the last year or so as a consequence. Mostly they blow tires or run off the runway and on small planes often the landing gear collapses, but obviously sometimes their landing gear is going to ignite, just as tires and brakes are igniting on ground vehicles...

2013-05-19 - Major fire guts part of electrical substation near coastal Accra (Ghana), power cuts ensue:
http://www.ghanabusinessnews.com/2013/05/20/power-cuts-to-hit-accra-as-fire-outbreak-destroys-ecg-substation/

Quote: "Residents of some parts of Accra are to experience power outages following a fire outbreak that gutted portions of the Electricity Company of Ghana’s (ECG’s) main substation at Achimota yesterday."

Note: This event is not all that different from the many underground electrical fires occurring in towns and cities all over; it was just above ground this time. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like wiring in vehicles, and wiring in electrical facilities of all kinds, like this one. Eventually this copper reactivity problem may turn off the lights permanently, everywhere. Accra is no little village; it's a major metropolitan center. This is a portent of things to come in all cities...

http://www.whiotv.com/news/news/traffic/vehicle-fire-on-i-70-west-slows-traffic/nXxm4/

Quote: "Mangas said the owners reported they had bought the RV and truck new less than a month ago and recently got warranty work done. No one was injured but damages were estimated at $325,000 for the RV and $50,000 for the truck."

Note: They were towing the truck, and this was probably a heavy RV too, so that's a lot of mass. The fire broke out in the rear of the RV. That was likely the brakes or tires igniting from an abnormal amount of heat being generated from the brake-friction, caused by hot-burning hydrogen sulfide having been absorbed into the tire rubber and brake pads. This problem is hitting massive vehicles the worst, though no vehicle is immune...

2013-05-21 - Mammoth blaze erupts at landfill in Tiruchirapalli (India), choking smoke envelops neighborhoods:
http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Tiruchirapalli/blaze-at-garbage-dump-suffocates-neighbourhood/article4738703.ece

Quote: "S.P. Saravanan, former councillor who has been campaigning for shifting the dump, termed the fire unprecedented and said residents in Jaganathapuram and Venkateswara Nagar were being forced to move out of the area."

Quote: "The thick smoke is causing suffocation. I have closed my unit and moved out. Some other residents in Jaganathapuram are moving out of their houses..."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

2013-05-22 - Passenger bus slams into nine vehicles, in Thakkarbapanagar (India), several injured:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Bus-smashes-into-nine-vehicles/articleshow/20218758.cms

Quote: "Early on Wednesday morning, a team of forensic science laboratory evaluated the bus and found that the brakes had failed and that the driver must have lost control after that."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is being absorbed into tires and brake pads. Then when brakes are applied, the heat generated is abnormally hot, because hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. Then bad things can happen: tires ignite or explode, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This affects massive vehicles the most because they require the most brake-friction to slow and they also tend to have the most tires. That means the vehicles most vulnerable to this problem are large RVs, buses, car-hauler trucks, tractor trailers, tanker trucks, dump trucks, log trucks, garbage trucks, that sort of thing. This problem does affect smaller vehicles too - no vehicle is immune - but less so, simply because they have much less mass...

Quote: "I'm absolutely certain that as it came through the clouds, and I looked up ... the right engine was on fire. It wasn't smoking, it was actually on fire."

Quote: "We could just see the right engine on fire. It was absolutely horrendous to see."

Quote: "A loud popping sound after take-off..."

Note: First, planes started coming down with 'smoke in the cabin' or 'smoke in the cockpit'. It was just a matter of time until planes began coming down on fire. With an atmosphere filling up with flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide, how could it be otherwise? We'll be seeing more of this, eventually culminating in planes being obliterated by explosions while in flight, and then our days of flying will pretty much be over. From all the ground vehicles bursring into flame, it doesn't look like our driving days will last all that much longer either...

2013-05-24 - RV towing Jeep veers off road at 5:45 AM, plows through stuff, in St. George (Utah), 2 killed, 8 lightly injured:
http://www.kutv.com/news/top-stories/stories/vid_5107.shtml
http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-and-west/provo-couple-dies-st-george-motorhome-crash

Quote: "The 40-foot RV, with a 4-door Jeep in tow, was traveling southbound around 5:45 a.m. between the exits of St. George Boulevard and Bluff Street when it careened off the freeway. 'Looks like a mechanical issue with the tire that might have blown,' Trooper Pastor said, adding that investigators found shreds of the front right tire on the roadway."

Quote: "The RV then traveled hundreds of feet down an embankment, across a street, over a field, toppling a fence and cinder block wall and clean through the garage of a duplex. The RV finally stopped just inches from the duplex on the other side of the street."

Quote: "The vehicle was towing a Jeep Wrangler, which became stuck in the first unit that the motorhome smashed through..."

Note: Tire rubber and brake pads are absorbing hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, more heat than normal is generated, since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. Then bad things can happen: tires ignite or explode, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This affects massive vehicles the most - like large RVs with tow vehicles, as in this case - because they require more brake-friction to slow and also tend to have more tires. This was a lot of mass here: a 40-foot RV, plus a towed Jeep, plus 10 people, plus probably lots of stuff to accomodate 10 people...

Quote: "Homeowner Paige Pauley told News 8 she smelled what she thought was sewer gas overnight. She called a plumber, but before he got there, she turned on the hot water faucet and there was a blast."

Quote: "Pauley said first noticed an odd smell late Saturday. 'I thought my sewer line had popped,' Pauley said Sunday afternoon in a telephone interview. 'It smelled like sewer gas so I just moved to the other end of the house.' Pauley said the smell wasn't bad on Sunday morning."

Note: One of the more common names for hydrogen sulfide is 'sewer gas'. So, three possible sources for the gas here: 1) it came into her home via the sewers; 2) it's a water-soluble gas and it came in through the water supply then evaporated out; 3) it came in via the atmosphere and was sucked in via her central AC system. It's a heavier-than-air gas, so however it got into this house, it would tend to flow to the basement and accumulate there, and that's where water heaters are located. So it accumulated in the basement between Saturday and Sunday and when she turned on her hot water, the water heater flame activated (beyond pilot light status), and that ignited the gas, and BOOM, explosion and fire. The lady and the dogs in this story are lucky to even be alive...

2013-05-29 - Enbridge Energy Partners fights for right to reject crude oil with high levels of hydrogen sulfide:
http://in.reuters.com/article/2013/05/29/column-kemp-bakken-pipelines-idINL5N0EA3SU20130529

Quote: "The pipeline operator made the application just three days after the vapours in one crude tank at Berthold terminal in North Dakota were sampled and found to contain H2S at an extremely high concentration of 1200 parts per million, more than enough to be fatal."

Quote: "Hydrogen sulphide is explosive when mixed with air, and can cause severe corrosion to oil field equipment including pipelines."

Note: It can cause corrosion to all steel and concrete, not just oil field equipment...

Quote: "The characteristic rotten egg smell is detectable at concentrations well under 1 ppm, and becomes sickly sweet over 30 ppm, but is dangerously odourless when the concentration rises over 100 ppm because the olfactory nerves in the nose are paralysed. Concentrations of as little as 50-200 ppm can cause shock, convulsions and coma. Inhaling H2S in excess of 1,000 ppm will cause immediate respiratory paralysis followed by death according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ('Report to Congress on Hydrogen Sulfide Air Emissions Associated with the Extraction of Oil and Gas' 1993)."

Quote: "In the next shipping cycle after the April 1 restrictions on competitor pipelines went into effect, there was a dramatic increase to the proportion of crude tendered to Enbridge North Dakota with high levels of hydrogen sulfide."

Quote: "Most oil and gas fields produce some hydrogen sulphide but the proportion varies widely. Oil fields tend to produce relatively little, while in a gas field the proportion can rise to 40 percent or even 90 percent. Twenty 'vulnerability zones' have been identified in the United States which are especially prone to hydrogen sulphide in underground formations linked with oil and gas."

Note: Lots of interesting information here. Maybe what's most interesting is that hydrogen sulfide levels are apparently rising. The ancient anaerobic bacteria that biogenically generate hydrogen sulfide like warm temps, water and low oxygen levels. With the obvious rise in volcanism around the world, it seems reasonable to think that heat is rising from the core of the Earth to the surface. This will expand the territory of those bacteria, not just in the oceans, seas and lakes, but possibly in underground areas near or below the water table too. Those bacteria also eat methane, which is the primary 'ingredient' in natural gas. So they may be below ground now, growing their numbers as the environment increasingly suits them, resulting in higher H2S concentrations in gas and oil deposits. This may explain all the fracking too - to get that natural gas out of the ground before those ancient anaerobic bacteria use it as food and convert it into deadly and explosively flammable hydrogen sulfide.

Note: The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane floating in the atmosphere above closer to the ground, making explosions, fires and hydrogen sulfide poisoning events more common during those hours. I mentioned this man when he went missing, in the 2013-05-22 update. Lots of fishermen have gone missing similarly, though usually they find their empty 'ghost boat' first then the corpse(s) later. This story here sorta reminds me of 'Dracula', where the ship washed ashore with the captain tied to the wheel...

http://www.brightonwired.co.uk/news.php/1487420-Doncaster-pallet-yard-fire-spreads

Quote: "All the pallets, many thousands of them, have been destroyed in the fire."

Note: The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane floating in the atmosphere above closer to the ground, making explosions, fires and hydrogen sulfide poisoning events more common during those hours.

There have been numerous pallet fires over the past year or so, some of them simply gigantic. Pallets have a number of vulnerabilities to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem. First, they're made of wood, and all flammable absorbent materials are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting, including wood, paper, cardboard, sawdust, dried brush, mulch, hay, straw, clothing, cotton, wool, etc. Secondly, they're held together with steel nails or screws, which rust, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel; sparking and fire can result from contact between rusty iron/steel and gaseous hydrogen sulfide, no flame or heat source necessary. Finally, pallets are often kept outside, where they are fully exposed to any hydrogen sulfide or methane blowing by in the atmosphere. Consequently, there've been lots of pallet-related fires. Wood porches and decks and fences all have these same vulnerabilities, although they are usually better-protected with sealants or paint or both...

http://www.newscastic.com/news/officials-small-boat-fire-likely-suspicious-1125756/

Note: I don't see any motive or witnesses or any evidence at all of people being involved with starting this fire. They're probably assuming arson for no other reason than that they can't understand how a parked non-running vehicle could spontaneously ignite. That just shows they aren't paying attention to the world around them, where parked non-running vehicles of all kinds are going up in flames everywhere. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground...

2013-11-13 - Tractor bursts into flame near Morris (Minnesota), fire spreads to barn:
http://www.kmrskkok.com/2013/11/13/fire-at-farmstead-near-morris/

Quote:"Chief Dave Dybdal says the fire was started by a cable on a tractor. Several pieces of equipment stored in the barn were destroyed, with damages totaled between $35,000-40,000."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like vehicle wiring. Lots of parked non-running vehicles have been spontaneously igniting in recent times and this is the likely cause of many of those fires, with the remainder probably caused by hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with rusty iron/steel...

http://journalstar.com/truck-fire-at-saint-elizabeth/image_faf9e9d0-de1b-5b12-92bd-593f7d3ec94c.html

Quote:"Officials say the truck was on fire with the man inside, apparently unconscious. That's when another man and woman ran over and pulled the man out. The good Samaritan tells 10/11 the unconscious man's clothes were on fire, so he pulled them off. Moments later, the truck was engulfed in flames."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is not only highly reactive and explosively flammable, it can knock you unconscious or even dead with one breath. A young engaged couple burned to death in their vehicle in McFarland (Wisconsin), as mentioned in the 2013-01-01 update. They'd probably been knocked unconscious by hydrogen sulfide, which also ignited their vehicle, and they just sat there unconscious and burned to death. That's exactly what would have happened to this man if people hadn't pulled him out of his truck; he would've ended up in the corpses section, along with the other two people in this day's update who burned to death in or near their burning vehicles. Burning to death in vehicles will become increasingly common as time goes on. It is already becoming more common...

Quote:"The car was on fire just to the side of the dirt road near Interstate 80 past the Osino exit and the driver could not get out. Morton said witnesses thought she’d tried to take off her seatbelt but was unable to."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like vehicle wiring. When vehicular fires ignite because of this, electric locks and windows may stop working, trapping the occupants inside the car. I'm not sure if seatbelts are electric or not (mine are mechanical on a 2007 Camry), but even if they aren't, if you can't get out of your burning car, you still end up dead...

2013-11-14 - Hydrogen sulfide belching from landfill in Bridgeton (Missouri), residents alarmed:

http://www.kmov.com/news/just-posted/More-landfill-health-risks-concern-Bridgeton-residents-231992231.html

Quote:"The stinky smell is not the problem anymore in Bridgeton. Now, there’s concern the landfill is putting something else into the air that could pose a real danger to workers and residents nearby. It’s a chemical compound called hydrogen sulfide and according to the health department report, half the days in the last four weeks, air monitors have showed levels that exceeded 'health-based guidelines.' In high concentrations, it can kill a person."

Note: This is the landfill that has an underground fire burning toward an adjacent landfill that houses illegally-dumped nuclear waste from the Manhattan Project. This hydrogen sulfide problem here is a microcosm of the planetary extinction event that is now underway. The oceans are becoming more 'landfill-like' as waters around the world heat up. (All the sh#t and trash we've dumped into the oceans probably hasn't helped matters any either, though this problem would likely have occurred regardless, as it has numerous times in the past.) The heat is also releasing methane stored in methane clathrate deposits, and the ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that emit hydrogen sulfide are eating that methane and turning it into hydrogen sulfide.

In June, the City of Roxbury (New Jersey) began drawing up evacuation plans because of hydrogen sulfide from a nearby landfill, as mentioned in the 2013-06-14 update. A rotten egg odor is wafting in from the ocean in Quincy (Massachusetts), as mentioned in the 2013-05-09 update. The Inner Harbor recently suddenly changed color to milky-white-green in coastal Baltimore, with a sulfur odor smelled, and all the fish there were found dead, as mentioned in the 2013-07-18 update. Hydrogen sulfide has been detected in a number of areas along the coast in California, it was detected coming up from the ground near a school in Canada, it was detected in the ground in southern Florida, a woman was killed by hydrogen sulfide in her home in Kansas, and so on. This is the ancient planetary extinction event that has once again reared its ugly head and is now upon us...

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VI-20131114-41631-PHL

Quote:"Inquirer quoted police chief Manuel Lukban as saying Elena Liner bus lost control of the brakes and ran over a group of people at the Magallanes loading and unloading bay before crashing into another bus at 6:40 am on Thursday."

Note: Tires and brake pads are absorbing hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, an unusual amount of heat is generated, since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. Then bad things can happen: tires explode or ignite, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This problem hits massive vehicles - like buses - the hardest, but no vehicle is immune...

Note: These are the type of sinkholes that I find the most alarming - on coastlines, which is where there are large methane clathrate deposits. Those deposits likely extend UNDER the land, at least in some areas. They are a solid, of a sort. As they dissociate (melt), they turn into water and gas, and the land near or above them will experience land subsidence problems. Entire coastal areas may eventually slough off into the ocean as this problem worsens, or it may proceed slower, eating up one area and then another and so on. Time will tell...

2013-11-15 - Two homes hit by 'electrical' fires within 15 minutes, in Henrico (Virginia), near the coast:
http://www.nbc12.com/story/23983675/two-henrico-homes-have-electrical-fire-around-the-same-time

Quote:"Lieutenant Jackson with Henrico Fire said that both fires are believed to have started because of wiring in the power boxes. Krista and other neighbors say power lines outside the home caught fire."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. A little sparking or sizzling near some electrified copper and you have a fire. Both of these fires happened in the same general area, around the same time, and it sounds like both fires began in outdoor power boxes, more exposed to the atmosphere than indoor wiring. That's a sign of a gas plume blowing through the area, igniting here and there as it goes. Not too terrible when it's only one or two homes catching fire (unless it's yours, of course), but what happens when it's twenty homes, or a hundred homes? I guess you queue up. 'We're sorry, sir, but the quickest we can get a fire crew to your burning home is...mmmm...2 hours. Good luck!'

Quote:"The driver had some sort of medical episode while driving and went off the roadway around 4 a.m., striking a perimeter fence."

Note: The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane floating in the air above closer to the ground. That means that it is during the wee hours that you are most likely to be knocked unconscious or dead or have a 'medical episode' while driving, and more fires and explosions will occur during these hours too...

http://www.kens5.com/news/SAPD-Child-dies-in-truck-explosion-while-riding-with-grandfather-on-northwest-side--232198851.html

Quote:"Police say the boy was with his 51-year-old grandfather when the Chevy pickup they were traveling had a problem and they pulled over in the 10500 block of Mt. Evans Drive. The grandfather looked under the hood and that’s when the car suddenly caught fire, police said."

Note: And the day prior, a 4-year-old girl burned to death when an RV burst into flame in the South Valley in Bernalillo County (New Mexico), plus two other people were found burned to death in or near burned-out vehicles, as mentioned in the 2013-11-15 update. From the full hypothesis: "Vehicles of all kinds will continue to burn, as they have been, and the number of vehicular fires will continue to escalate, inevitably resulting in a corresponding increase in the number of people being incinerated in their vehicles."

2013-11-16 - Jellyfish populations exploding along the coast in Kerala (India):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20131116-41666-IND

Quote:"Jellyfish population is abounding along the Kerala coast, threatening other species and creating havoc for fishing operations."

Quote:"Coastal areas around the world are struggling with similar jellyfish blooms, as these population explosions are known. These blooms are increasing in intensity, frequency and duration..."

Note: Jellyfish reproduce better in warmer waters, so a global jellyfish population is one sign of warming ocean waters. Another obvious sign is the dissociation of methane clathrate reserves, which is also occurring. Another sign is a rise in volcanic eruptions, which is also occurring. Warmer waters and the release of methane results in a corresponding increase in hydrogen sulfide emissions, since the ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide prefer warmer waters (which hold less oxygen) and they also eat methane, in addition to biomatter like corpses of fish, human excrement, etc.

Note: Looks like this plane was at a very steep angle. What happens if a pilot slumps over unconscious at the controls? He'll push on the wheel, which will send the plane into a steep nosedive. Can't exactly ask him here though, because he's dead...

Note: So you make some good money, buy a condo on the 27th floor. You go out to enjoy your awesome view, lean out, take a breath of that sea air...and get hit by one breath of 1:1000 concentration hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean. Then you lose consciousness, topple forward, and it's a looong way down. WHERE you get knocked unconscious by hydrogen sulfide will often determine whether you get back up again. Fall unconscious in water and you drown. Fall unconscious out in the cold and you freeze to death. Fall unconscious when it's hot and you die of heatstroke. Fall unconscious while driving and you crash. Fall unconscious while climbing around on an island and you fall and die. And so on...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will tend to accumulate in low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, ditches, ravines, canyons, valleys, creeks, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, seas, etc. It is also a highly flammable gas and it is reactive with rusty iron/steel and copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in underground electrical facilities as well as wiring in vehicles and buildings. Wonder why the gubment is training for grid failure? I don't...

Quote:"The reason for that comment was because there were no signs of intrusion of foul play on the vessel, but also because the Coast Guard never received a distress signal from the vessel."

Note: Well, here's the empty 'ghost boat', found first as usual. In this case, they may never find the matching corpse. This was out in the deep ocean, so that body's probably long since been eaten (if there's still any fish left alive out there to do the eating)...

2013-11-19 - Landfill erupts in flame near Medicine Hat, Calgary (Canada), state of emergency declared, evacuations ensue:

Quote:"We threw several thousand gallons of water and foam and dry chemical on this fire to no avail."

Quote:"Cypress Country has determined there is no viable way of extinguishing the blaze at this time. Nine homes in the immediate area are under mandatory evacuation."

2013-11-19 - Landfill catches fire in coastal Mon Repos (Australia):

http://www.frasercoastchronicle.com.au/news/dump-fire-smoke-affecting-mon-repos-residents/2090111/
http://news.silobreaker.com/dump-fire-smoke-affecting-mon-repos-residents-5_2267254691932930090

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

2013-11-19 - Home explodes and collapses in Attayampatti (India), 5 killed, 4 injured:
http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/five-killed-in-lpg-cylinder-explosion/article5370892.ece
http://newindianexpress.com/nation/Three-killed-eight-injured-in-gas-cylinder-explosion/2013/11/20/article1901191.ece

Quote:"They said the explosion occured after the woman tried to light the gas stove unaware of a leak in the cylinder."

Note: How do they know there was a leak in the cylinder? They don't; it's just an assumption. Gas from cylinders isn't the only flammable gas in the atmosphere these days. What do they think is causing those giant neighborhood-shaking explosions with flashes of light in the skies, witnessed by many all over the world these last couple of years? They aren't aware of those? Hah, well then, they're not very informed...

2013-11-19 - Travel trailer explodes and burns near Alvarado (Texas), 4 injured:

http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/2013/11/four-injured-in-johnson-co-fire-in-rv-park.html/

Quote:"One of the victims told emergency responders that the roof immediately turned blue with flames after a cigarette was lit inside the trailer, Jones said. Jones said investigators believe the fire and explosion started due to a leak in a propane tank mounted on the trailer’s front tow hitch."

Note: The ROOF turned blue with flames. Are these fire officials unaware that propane is a heavier-than-air gas? Seems like an important thing to know if dealing with fires is your job. It sounds more like methane in this case, which would tend to accumulate at the ceiling once it infiltrates a structure. Also, these people apparently smelled nothing, but they should have been able to smell an explosive amount of propane. Methane, on the other hand, is odorless...

2013-11-19 - Vacant home explodes and burns, destroyed, in Pinckneyville (Illinois):

Quote:"UPCO is a manufacturing company that makes steel rods for oil field equipment. The building that is on fire is a 140,000 square foot facility."

Quote:"Officials at the scene stated that there were no reports of injuries. Employees of the industrial plant had not gotten to work yet."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel. This fire was basically the same as all the auto scrapyards and metal recycling centers burning...

http://www.journaldemocrat.com/article/20131119/NEWS/131119939

Quote:"A truck driver confronted flames billowing out from beneath his semi-trailer near the rear axle..."

Note: Probably brakes igniting, just like the big rig that burned in the event listed above this one. From the full hypothesis: "Massive vehicles such as big RVs, buses, tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and car-haulers will be destroyed by fire in escalating numbers after tires or brakes ignite."

Note: Responders pulled the people inside out the window, which was already down. I bet this fire took out the car's electrical system, and the car had power locks, and the doors were locked. I've mentioned this problem before: these vehicular fires may disable your vehicle's electrical system and trap you inside a burning vehicle, and you won't last long in that situation. Might wanna keep a hammer or something handy in your vehicle when you drive, just in case...

Note: The hair loss could be from high UV levels as the ozone layer dissolves and the upper atmosphere fills with methane, making the Sun whiter, brighter and more intense. Whales and dolphins were showing lesions from UV poisoning in 2010, so that rules out Fukushima. Most people have by now noticed the changes in the appearance of the Sun. It's not a change in the Sun, but a change in the atmosphere through which we view the Sun. You may notice physiological changes in your own body because of this, such as a weakened immune system, sleep problems, memory problems; too much of that white Sun (too little of the old yellow Sun) interferes with the body's ability to produce melatonin, which affects the immune system and sleep and memory, among other things...

Note: And the Learjet also crashed into the Gulf of Mexico, heading to Mexico from Florida. So that's 3 planes crashing near or in the Gulf of Mexico in 2 days. Hmmm, not looking good...

2013-11-19 - Underwater volcanic eruption spawns new island near Japan:
http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/nishino-shima/news/38948/Nishima-Shima-volcano-Japan-submarine-volcanic-eruption-gives-birth-to-new-island.html

Note: More indication that the worldwide rise in volcanic eruptions is not limited to volcanoes on land, but includes those underwater, and those eruptions are surely what's causing oceanic temps to rise, which is melting the methane clathrate deposits and improving the habitat for the ancient bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide. And that makes complete sense. Of the 3 million volcanoes on Earth, probably 80 percent of them are in the oceans, where the crust is thinnest. So when you see 10 land-based volcanic eruptions, you can infer that there are likely 40 more occurring in the oceans, whether we're aware of them (or told about them) or not...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. All four of the above incidents occurred on or near the coast in California. Because of the rotation of the Earth, winds tend to blow west-to-east, so California will tend to get hit by both methane and hydrogen sulfide emissions originating in the Pacific Ocean...

A change in the atmosphere will do the job just fine...

This story is eerily similar to an event where a woman went missing from a bridge, left her car idling with headphones and iPad still in it, in Charleston (South Carolina), as mentioned in the 2012-04-16 update. I suspect that people on bridges, especially those that go over bodies of water, are sometimes getting hit by hydrogen sulfide. Then they try to flee what's killing them, but on a bridge, where ya gonna go? Off the bridge, into the water, which is likely to make the situation even worse...

http://thetruthwins.com/archives/why-have-10-major-volcanoes-along-the-ring-of-fire-suddenly-roared-to-life

Note: And here's some more confirmation of MISA Theory. This is exactly what I predicted back in 2010 - more and stronger volcanic eruptions (and quakes too), especially in the oceans and near coasts. The Ring of Fire is coastal, and tada, here we go. And they're not even including in their list many other coastal or subsurface eruptions that have also occurred, not necessarily on the Ring of Fire, but in coastal areas elsewhere...

2013-11-25 - Vehicle and man burst into flame as man gases up at gas station in Chattanooga (Tennessee), 1 injured:

http://www.newschannel9.com/news/top-stories/stories/man-burned-gas-pump-fire-8057.shtml
http://www.johnsoncitypress.com/article/112820/man-suffers-burns-when-pants-vehicle-catch-fire-at-east-tennessee-gas-station

Quote:"Battalion Chief Charles Patton said a 32-year-old man was pumping gas into his vehicle when a fire erupted, catching his pants on fire, as well as part of the vehicle. Eyewitnesses said the man initially panicked and ran. A couple of people grabbed portable fire extinguishers and extinguished the fire on the man and his vehicle."

Quote:"'I don't smoke, nor use my cell phones when pumping gas,' says Nikki May."

Note: This sounds VERY much like the work of the Ghostly Match. I specifically mentioned refueling: "Would you siphon gas or refuel your vehicle if there was a lit match right there? Of course not, but you won't SEE the match until it's struck." In other words, anytime you go to gas up, don't count on not catching fire, because you just might. Just ask Nikki May...

Quote:"According to rescue officials, victim and others were busy working at an iron warehouse of steel mill when the cylinder exploded due to gas leakage."

Note: What ignited the gas? Gas doesn't just ignite all by itself just because it leaks. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel though. Was there any rusty iron/steel around? Rhetorical question...

Note: This sounds like the work of the Ghostly Match. The event above it does too. Just this one aspect of this one problem is going to end up killing a whole lot of people. You'll be at greatest danger when refueling vehicles using any gas or fluid fuel that produces flammable vapors in the air. You won't see this problem coming until it hits and then it's too late...

Note: I Street before E Street, except after C Street. Apparently some leaves caught fire on E Street and as a cop tried to stomp the fire out, the car erupted in flame. Hydrogen sulfide may have sparked near some rusty iron/steel or electrified copper on that car and ignited those leaves which in turn ignited that car. Put rusty iron/steel or electrified copper near anything flammable and it's just a matter of time until fire breaks out...

Note: She may have been knocked unconscious by hydrogen sulfide and then she froze to death. The same thing will happen when it's hot, except then it'll be people dying of heatstroke. When you get knocked unconscious from hydrogen sulfide, where you are and what you're doing will determine if you survive. If you're swimming then you'll drown, if you're on a balcony then you may topple off and fall to your death, if you're driving then you'll crash (sometimes killing others if you veer into oncoming traffic), and so on...
