Event Update For 2021-08-22

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.

2021-08-22 - Young couple, baby and dog found dead along the Merced River (California), no clues as to what killed them:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/08/23/mariposa-family-death-mystery/

Quote: "The lack of definitive answers has led investigators to imagine other, more unusual causes. Carbon monoxide poisoning from a mine or toxic algae in the nearby Merced River are among the leading theories."

Note: I mentioned this event right after their bodies were discovered, in the 2021-08-17 update. They've had time to do autopsies and come up with some theories now.

The carbon monoxide poisoning theory makes no sense. The nearest mine was 3 miles away. Not only that, but carbon monoxide is lighter than air - that's why smoke detectors go on ceilings - and these people and their dog were in a river valley. Any carbon monoxide released from a mine would just float up into the atmosphere AWAY from these people. Toxic algae doesn't make sense because they had water in hydration packs, so I doubt they were drinking from the river. Plus, they had a baby with them, and the baby almost certainly wouldn't be drinking from the river. Besides that, algae-infested water looks yucky, with green scum floating around. It usually doesn't smell good either, because as the algae dies, ancient anaerobic archaea and bacteria eat it and emit hydrogen sulfide.

So, the possibilities are few. One possibility is that a cloud of hydrogen sulfide, which is a heavier-than-air gas, blew over them. The man felt dizzy and sat down on a rock with the baby and dog and slumped over dead. The woman tried to run but didn't make it far down the trail and dropped dead too. This would explain why their autopsies didn't reveal any cause of death - hydrogen sulfide doesn't stick around in the human body for more than a few hours. It was probably already gone by the time their bodies were found. Another possibility is that their WATER was contaminated with hydrogen sulfide and drinking it killed them. That's less likely though, because they all seemed to die at around the same time and in the same place, whereas people drink water at different rates, with different body masses, so contaminated water would be very unlikely to kill them all at the same time suddenly.

WHATEVER killed them, this is clearly a very disturbing event, because it indicates the fact that you can now be killed suddenly, out of nowhere, even in groups, with 'whatever' killed you leaving no trace. I highly suspect this was hydrogen sulfide gas. That adds up and makes far more sense than the carbon monoxide and toxic algae theories: it occurred in a low-lying area (a river valley near a river), there is no trace of what killed them, and they all died suddenly and at almost the same time. Just one breath can kill you, then the cloud of gas blows on, with no sign that it was ever there other than the occasional person or family that's mysteriously dropped dead...

Quote: "A huge explosion has cast thick clouds of smoke in the air at an oil rig in Mexico, raising concerns of multiple casualties. Alarming photos from off the coast of Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico show a rig ablaze, with heavy black smoke spreading up into the sky. It is currently unclear what caused the explosion on the KU-Alpha platform."
