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

Event Update For 2018-04-17

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.

2018-04-17 - Unknown chemical odor regularly hitting River Ridge (Louisiana), near the Mississippi River:
http://www.wdsu.com/article/river-ridge-residents-fearful-of-chemical-odor-in-the-air-1524021635/19846393

Quote: "For months, residents in River Ridge have complained about a "chemical odor" that's taken over their neighborhoods. They're wondering about the source of the odor, and what kind of impact it could have on their health. On the Nextdoor app, dozens of comments about the odor have been made over the last several months. Residents complaining of the stench live on Arbor Lane, Moss Lane, Robin Lane, Rosecrest Lane, Southern Road, Orchard Road, Tyler Avenue and many other nearby streets."

Quote: "Department of Environmental quality officials confirmed they've received several complaints and said they have dispatched crews multiple times to test the air. However, the issue is the odor comes and goes, and all of the times the DEQ had responded, the stench had already dissipated, and air quality tests came back normal."

Quote: "Marty Martinez, a passenger on the plane, posted a Facebook Live during the emergency landing. 'Flight attendants ran over calling for passengers to help cover the hole as they broke down and began uncontrollably crying and looking horrified as they looked outside. Plane dropped dramatically and it smelled like fire with ash coming down on everyone thru the vents. Absolutely terrifying, but we are okay,' Martinez wrote."

Quote: "In an interview with CBSN, Martinez said an engine exploded and broke a window. 'First there was an explosion and almost immediatey, the oxygen masks came down and, probably within a matter of 10 seconds, the engine then hit a window and busted it wide open,' said Martinez. Martinez says a woman was critically injured. 'There was blood everywhere,' Martinez explained."
