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.

2018-05-09 - Water sickening and killing people in and around Kratié (Cambodia):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=HZ-20180511-63044-KHM
http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/eighty-taken-ill-suspected-water-poisoning-mkiri
Quote: "At least 80 people in Preh and Roneg villages in Mondulkiri province's Sre Chhouk commune suffered vomiting, dizziness and weakness due to suspected poisonous water from a stream they were using. The illnesses come after 13 people died and more than 130 people sent to hospital due to drinking water contaminated with poisonous substances in Kratie over the past few weeks. Lor Sokha, Mondulkiri province police chief, told the media that technical officers initially suspected the poisoning occurred after villagers drank water from Preah river and others drank rain water which had combined with water from the river. However, the cause has not yet been determined as authorities are waiting for the results of an analysis of the water and food they had consumed."
Quote: "He said on Wednesday that he spoke to the victims and they said they began to find it difficult to breathe, had stomachaches and vomited after drinking both the water from the river and rainwater from the roofs of their houses."
Note: So not just river water but also rainwater from the roofs of homes. Hydrogen sulfide is water soluble, it's getting into the atmosphere - thus all the rotten egg odor events around the world - and so rain from the sky will sometimes be poisonous. If the rain is poisonous enough, it could kill you just by falling on your head. Contaminated rainwater will also flow downhill to streams, rivers, ponds, lakes and seas/oceans and contaminate the water in them too. in 2015, 41 children and some animals mysteriously died after rainfall in Papua (Indonesia), mentioned in the 2015-11-24 update. Last year, a bunch of people died in Australia from 'thunderstorm asthma' after rain storms there too. Every time you jump in a body of water or let water get on your head, you're betting that that water has not been contaminated. Lose that bet, as many already have, and you are apt to die. Municipal water supplies in major cities are likeliest to be safest, but there are no guarantees...
2018-05-09 - Unknown odor at building sends 12 people to the hospital, then later 2 more have convulsions too, in coastal Auckland (New Sealand):

http://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/103816013/investigations-continue-at-auckland-highrise-after-mystery-gas-leak-injured-24-people
Quote: "Fire and Emergency say they don't know what caused the unknown smell in an Auckland office building this morning - but the building is now safe. Emergency crews were called to Augusta House on the corner of Victoria Street West and Elliot Street at 9.30am after an unusual smell was noticed on the eighth floor. Twelve people were taken to hospital and another 100 assessed after being exposed to the smell which caused nausea, headaches and vomiting."
Quote: "'It was a weird sort of organic smell. To be honest, I would describe it as chicken manure, but it was a sickly, sweet musty odour.'"
Quote: "Two more people have been affected by a mystery gas leak at an Auckland high-rise, nine hours after it hospitalised 12 people on Thursday morning. A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman said firefighters had been called to Augusta House in Auckland's CBD just before 6pm. Firefighters had had reports of two people having convulsions, the spokesman said."
Quote: "Woon said fire crews ran gas detectors throughout the building and did not come up with anything. The New Zealand Defence Force's Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) – the bomb squad – was then called in to test the scene. 'We couldn't find anything that triggered our devices...and a preliminary search by them hasn't found anything either,' Woon said."
Note: They aren't using H2S detectors. Hydrogen sulfide won't show up on other types of detectors. And hydrogen sulfide at higher concentrations is described by some people as 'sickly sweet' or 'flowery'. The speed with which these people sickened, the symptoms, and the fact that this is a coastal city - they probably got hit by some fairly concentrated poisonous hydrogen sulfide, probably pulled into the building via the building's HVAC system. Nobody really knows what the long-term effects of that are (for people who survive), but they can't be good...

The diver, who was in his 30s, called 911 while off the coast of La Jolla Shores around 12:15 p.m. and said he was having a seizure, said fire spokeswoman Mónica Muñoz. Lifeguards used their personal water craft to get out to the man, who was unconscious and having a seizure when they found him. His face was not submerged, she said, because of the equipment he was using."

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-hawaii-volcano-toxic-gas-20180509-story.html
Quote: "A fairly large explosion in Hawaii’s erupting Kilauea volcano on Wednesday is likely the first of a series of larger explosions that could begin to throw rocks and ash from the crater, the U.S. Geological Survey said."
Quote: "So far, the volcano's most dramatic activity has been slow-moving lava leaks. However, scientists monitoring the volcano have been concerned about the possibility it could switch to a more explosive stage since May 2. That's when the lava lake at the crater of Kilauea, called Halea'uma'u, began retreating. A similar phenomenon preceded the volcano's last explosive period in 1924 as well."
