Summary of Hypothesis:
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.
Comments:
Planes are coming down with smoke in the cockpit or smoke in the cabin. This is probably caused by hydrogen sulfide reacting with copper somewhere in the plane's electrical or electronics systems. Here are some of the 'smoking events' from the month of December:
2012-12-28 - Passenger plane makes emergency landing in Albany (New York), smoke in restroom:

Quote: "...Sacramento Fire Department spokesman said a flight attendant had to be hooked up to an oxygen machine after breathing in some smoke."
2012-12-05 - Passenger plane makes emergency landing at Greenville-Spartanburg Airport (South Carolina), smoke in the cockpit:
http://www.greenvilleonline.com/article/20121205/NEWS/312050054
In addition to smoking planes, drivers on the ground are suffering seizures, medical events, medical episodes, medical conditions, medical problems, etc. Here are some of the 'medical events' that affected drivers in the month of December:
2012-12-22 - Charter bus veers off road, crashes, near the Inner Harbor in coastal Baltimore (Maryland), 10 injured:
http://www.firehouse.com/news/10845845/injuries-reported-after-charter-bus-crashes-in-md
Quote: "... initial reports from troopers at the scene said the bus had run off the road after the driver 'passed out or fell asleep' and ran up an embankment then went back on the roadway."
Note: So this could have been another bus driver losing consciousness, as just happened the day prior, where a transit bus driver lost consciousness and plowed into 21 parked vehicles and a laundromat in Chicago (Illinois), near Lake Michigan, as mentioned in the 2012-12-21 update. The frequency of these events does appear to be accelerating. And it's not just bus drivers losing consciousness, but all types of drivers. The bus incidents simply get more attention because they're big ol' buses...
2012-12-21 - Bus driver loses consciousness, crashes transit bus into 21 parked vehicles and laundromat in Chicago (Illinois), 2 injured:
http://www.chicagofiremap.net/2012/12/cta-bus-crash-with-vehicles-injures-two_21.html
Note: As mentioned, hydrogen sulfide is a fast-acting 'knockdown agent' and will knock drivers unconscious and cause accidents. This is affecting ALL drivers, but when it's a bus then a lot of mass is involved and often many people too. This is by no means the only bus driver to lose consciousness while driving in recent times. There was another incident like this in the 2012-11-28 update, another in the 2012-11-16 update, another in the 2012-10-10 update, another in the 2012-10-03 update, etc.
2012-12-20 - Car veers over centerline, hits propane truck, on Bear Island Road in Orlando (Florida), 1 killed:
http://www.clickorlando.com/news/FHP-1-dead-in-head-on-collision-on-Disney-property/-/1637132/17863122/-/hw1chc/-/index.html
Quote: "Troopers are waiting for the medical examiner to determine if the driver of the car suffered from a medical episode prior to the collision."
2012-12-20 - Car veers off road and slams into home in Lawton (Oklahoma), 1 injured:
http://www.swoknews.com/news-top/local/item/3501-one-car-hits-bus-another-hits-house
Quote: "A 63-year-old man was hospitalized Wednesday night after an unspecified medical condition caused him to drive off the roadway and into the house..."
2012-12-18 - Car veers over centerline, hits car head-on, in Hammond (Indiana) in Lake County, 1 killed:
http://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/hammond/lake-station-woman-killed-in-head-on-collision-in-hammond/article_c22fef2c-1895-592e-83be-1c98591e834d.html
Quote: "...investigators believe a medical condition may have contributed to the accident."
2012-12-15 - Woman has seizure, crashes car into gas station, fire erupts, keeps going, hits car, in Howell (New Jersey), 3 injured:
http://www.app.com/article/20121215/NJNEWS/312150083/1001/
Note: Very close to the East Coast there...
2012-12-13 - SUV crashes into home after driver has seizure, in Spokane Valley (Washington):
http://www.kxly.com/news/spokane-news/Driver-has-seizure-crashes-into-house/-/101214/17748950/-/format/rsss_2.0/-/ktd18x/-/index.html
2012-12-07 - Driver has medical emergency, car crashes into home in Cottage Grove (Minnesota), 1 injured:
http://www.jamestownsun.com/event/article/id/175082/group/News/
Note: Cottage Grove lies on the north bank of the Mississippi River, north of a backwash from the confluence with the Saint Croix River.
2012-12-05 - Pickup veers off road and hits tree on the Big Island (Hawaii), 1 killed:
http://bigislandnow.com/2012/12/05/man-found-dead-in-truck-off-south-kona-highway/
Quote: "Because the death may have been caused by a medical condition, police said they are waiting for the results of the autopsy before adding it to the county’s official traffic fatality count."
Note: In other words, a 'medical condition' is what may have killed him, and that may have caused the accident. It wasn't a big crash, and his body was still safely buckled in. He may have died while driving, and then the truck crashed because it had a corpse driving it...
2012-12-04 - Fuel tanker truck overturns on I-77 in Virginia:
http://www.mtairynews.com/view/full_story/21020890/article-Truck-carrying-fuel-overturns-on-I-77
Quote: "We’re thinking that the driver had some sort of medical condition that rendered him unresponsive for a few minutes..."
Note: Another incapacitated driver. Hydrogen sulfide is a fast-acting 'knockdown agent' and it is causing seizures, unconsciousness and sometimes death in drivers (and others too, of course), resulting in more unusual accidents. At least the tanker didn't explode and burn this time...
2012-12-03 - Church bus crashes into highway barrier on I-4 in coastal Tampa (Florida), bursts into flame, 1 injured:
http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/accidents/church-bus-catches-fire-in-crash-on-i-4-in-tampa/1264425
Quote: "It appeared the driver, Martin Rufus Silas Jr., suffered a medical emergency just after 11 a.m., causing him to lose control of the vehicle."
Note: And the day prior a driver had a seizure and crashed his truck into a restaurant in California. Florida, downwind of the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico. California, downwind of the dead zone called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. These types of accidents, involving incapacitated drivers, are becoming more common, as predicted in the full hypothesis...
2012-12-02 - Driver has seizure, truck crashes into sandwich shop in Chico (California), 1 injured:
http://www.chicoer.com/news/ci_22111954/truck-crashes-into-local-business-driver-may-have
http://www.knvn.com/content/localnews/story/Truck-Flips-and-Lands-at-Chico-Sandwich-Shop/-MmWMZ6wJUOeM72W5pDGDw.cspx
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is powerfully neurotoxic and can cause seizures, hallucinations, unconsciousness, death, among other things, and California is downwind of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is likely pluming hydrogen sulfide now. There have been many accidents just like this one, and there will be many more; anyone could be affected at any time now...
Keep in mind, there are surely a great many similar accidents where the 'medical condition' or 'seizure' is never mentioned. A driver passes out, veers off road, hits tree, car bursts into flame and incinerates him or her, and there is simply no mention of anything else. That's probably the norm. So when you see this many events where 'medical events' or whatever they want to call it ARE mentioned, you can be sure that there is an alarming number of such events occurring where it isn't mentioned, in part because the victim is often dead when responders show up.
Predictions:
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, including sea mammals.
C. More and 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.
Recent Events Matching Predictions:
A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.

Note: Also bursting into flame were a discarded couch and a discarded mattress, both absorbent items/materials that would absorb hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combust. They're assuming arson because all three fires began in the same general area, around the same time. Well, that's what you'd expect of a flammable gas plume blowing through an area, igniting here and there as it goes. Also, hydrogen sulfide can ignite in the presence of rusty iron, or copper. The truck had copper in it, connected to a battery. The two furniture items, one had bed springs, and one had nails and/or screws, and both were discarded, outside, where they would rust...

Note: Blamed on dust and drizzle. Uh huh, sure. This the first time Texas has had dust and drizzle? I don't think so! Isn't that more like the norm there? So why THIS year are power poles bursting into flame? Well, Texas borders the Gulf of Mexico, which has had a dead zone problem for years. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, and is absorbing into wood too. So a plume blows over a pole, sparks erupt from the copper reaction, the wood ignites easily because it's absorbed accelerant, and fire breaks out. This is not good...

http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2012/12/27/crews-planning-to-bring-in-heavy-machinery-to-fight-north-fayette-fire/
Note: Wood is absorbent and is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane until it spontaneously combusts. That's the cause they say for this fire: spontaneous combustion. Hey, sometimes they're actually right. But there is an actual possible identifiable ignition source here too. Hydrogen sulfide can ignite in the presence of rusty iron. A huge pile of thousands of scrap pallets is certain to have tens of thousands of nails, all exposed to the elements and rusting. And this fire apparently began near ground level, not at the top of the pile, which is where a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide would tend to accumulate. So, hydrogen sulfide meets rusty nails, fire breaks out, spreads to the nearby pallets which have absorbed hydrogen sulfide and/or methane, and suddenly you have a humongous fire that is VERY difficult to suppress. There have been many fires involving pallets, including entire pallet companies. It is probably this same scenario playing out over and over, albeit not usually on such a large scale...

http://www.grantvillefire.com/?p=148
Note: As mentioned before, hydrogen sulfide can ignite when exposed to rusty iron. Well, that's what junk cars in piles like this do: they rust. There have been many similar fires of late. There's really nothing else that explains piles of metal bursting into flame like this...

Note: The bangs were smallish gas plumes igniting and exploding. Also mentioned, some clothes burst into flame in an apartment complex laundry room, which goes along with all the people bursting into flame lately: it's their clothes, absorbing accelerant(s) - hydrogen sulfide or methane or both - and spontaneously combusting...

2012-12-27 - Chemical fire breaks out at business in Spring Grove Village in Cincinnati (Ohio), 2 injured:
http://www.wlwt.com/news/local-news/cincinnati/Two-workers-injured-in-chemical-fire/-/13549970/17931878/-/dgbobuz/-/index.html
Note: Workers were cleaning chemical filters when they burst into flame. The authorities say friction did it. I wouldn't be so sure. What were the chemicals involved? Hydrogen sulfide, even in very small amounts, is reactive with a variety of chemicals, like nitric acid and sodium hydroxide, both fairly common industrial chemicals...
2012-12-27 - Dry cleaning business erupts in fire in Columbus (Tennessee):
http://www.wkrn.com/story/20437201/dry-cleaners-catches-fire-in-columbia
Note: Another clothing-related fire. Like wood, clothing is absorbent and is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting, thus all the people bursting into flame lately too; it's not the PEOPLE bursting into flame, really, it's their clothes...

2012-12-27 - Vacant structures regularly burning in Grayson County (Texas), residents worried:
http://www.kten.com/story/20436707/homes-burning-up-in-grayson-co-neighborhood
Quote: "Our timeline is getting closer and closer together, where we were having fires a month apart and now we're having them six or seven days apart..."
Note: Well, of course. As more flammable hydrogen sulfide and methane permeate the atmosphere, there will be more fires everywhere. It isn't just Grayson County, of course. This is happening all over, which is again to be expected. Eventually it appears that anything that can burn WILL burn, but vacant properties are most open to the elements so they're going up in flames first and hardest. The occupied properties, homes in which people are living, will come next, starting with those that are least well-insulated and in low-lying areas...

Police contacted the medical examiner after determining that the man had died. An officer said the death was not considered suspicious."
Note: No news story. I've had three friends drop dead in recent times, no news story for any of them either. Human die-off is ongoing, but it's being downplayed, kept quiet. Wouldn't want to alarm people, so shhh, don't tell anyone...

Note: Four air conditoner units also burst into flame. What do air conditioners do? Cool things, of course, but more generally they move the atmosphere around, and we have an atmospheric problem with flammable gases. Both air conditioners and cars have electrified copper in them, and copper is reactive with hydrogen sulfide. These cars and the outsides of the air conditioners were fully exposed to the atmosphere...

Lots of wood-related fires the last few months, including utility poles, palm trees, wood carving businesses, cabinet shops, door companies, porches, gazebos, railroad ties, prison wood shops, pallets and pallet companies, a piano outside a home, art warehouses (frames), and much more. Wood is an absorbent material and is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane until it bursts into flame and fire breaks out...

Note: I mentioned ammo depots exploding and burning specifically in the full hypothesis. A fireworks warehouse is sort of a civilian ammo depot. And right on the coast here. Could be the paper and cardboard wrapping around the gunpowder, or even gunpowder itself, is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane until spontaneous combustion occurs. When that happens in a dumpster, you get a dumpster fire. When it happens at a place like this, it's a whole different story...

2012-12-25 - Grill ignites boy and two cars in parking lot in Winter Park (Florida), 2 injured:
http://www.clickorlando.com/news/Child-burned-after-family-s-grill-catches-fire/-/1637132/17895936/-/tnyo5nz/-/index.html
Quote: "'I saw this boy running past on fire,' said one witness. 'His feet were on fire and he was running around crying.'"
Note: Shoes and possibly clothes had absorbed hydrogen sulfide? It is a heavier-than-air gas and people tend to leave their shoes on the floor, and obviously they walk around with them. Florida is downwind of the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico, and Winter Park itself is simply surrounded with lakes and ponds and streams, all low-lying areas where hydrogen sulfide will accumulate when the wind isn't blowing and from where any that has accumulated will blow when the wind picks up...
2012-12-25 - Homeless man bursts into flame as he sleeps outside donut shop in coastal Los Angeles County (California):
http://www.montereyherald.com/state/ci_22257391/la-area-homeless-man-set-fire-he-sleeps
Note: They say he was 'doused with an unknown liquid'. How do they know it was a liquid? And how do they know there was another person involved? They don't. They're just making assumptions because they don't realize that people are simply bursting into flame now here and there. Also, homeless people are vulnerable to this spontaneous combustion problem because A) they often sleep on the ground, like this gentleman, where a heavier-than-air gas will be; and 2) they're fully exposed to the atmosphere for longer periods of time than virtually anyone else.

Quote: "Quijada said the home’s interior air handler system air return was above the burning cabinet."
Note: Wood is absorbent and is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting. The general problem is flammable gases, accelerants, in the atmosphere. That cabinet was right by an atmospheric air-handling system, and was probably getting sprayed by one or both of the gases in the air until it eventually spontaneously combusted. Entire cabinet companies have gone up in flames in recent times. This was basically just a smaller version of that (although it was a $450k house, so quite a loss for this family)...

These events don't include people found seriously burned or flat-out incinerated in cars and RVs and boats and such, of which there have been many. These particular fires are happening because clothing is absorbent and is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and either spontaneously combusting or igniting via static electricity or from getting remotely close to any heat source. Another clue that this is happening are all the fires related to clothing businesses, such as the dual infernos that recently ravaged businesses in coastal Bangladesh. The same is true of wood-related businesses (wood also being an absorbent material), which have been burning up all over, including cabinetry shops, wood-carving businesses, prison wood shops, door companies, framing companies, lumber yards, etc.
Believe it or not, there are people out there who argue that this is all normal. One must wonder if they haven't breathed in a bit of hydrogen sulfide and gone insane from neurological damage, because that's simply laughable.

Quote: "The fire broke out on the sixth floor at about 10pm and quickly spread to the fifth and fourth floors. Materials stored in an underwear-manufacturing facility on the sixth floor caused the fire to spread quickly, officials said."
Quote: "The lower storeys of the IT Grand mall housed shops selling computers, gadgets and other information-technology products, while the upper levels were used as a clothing factory."
Note: More clothing...

2012-12-22 - Out-of-control wildfire rages near Marcollat (Australia), about 20 miles from the west coast:
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/sa-fire-burns-out-of-control/story-e6frg6nf-1226542605544
Quote: "The CFS has flagged the following fire districts at extreme or severe risk of fire, and declared a 24-hour total fire ban from midnight (CDT). These are Northwest Pastoral, West Coast, Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Lower Eyre Peninsula, Flinders, Mid North, Mount Lofty Ranges, Yorke Peninsula, Kangaroo Island, Riverland, Murraylands, Upper South East and Lower South East."
Note: It's worth watching Australia burning even if you don't live there. What we see there we are likely to see everywhere in time. This next summer in the U.S. there are going to be incredible fires, particularly along the stretch that goes from southern California across to Florida. If the 500 million dead trees in Texas have dried enough by then (quite possible) then just Texas alone is going to see fires like perhaps no human being has ever witnessed...

2012-12-22 - Car bursts into flame inside garage at home in Waterloo (Canada), fire spreads, destroys home too:
http://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/waterloo-family-left-homeless-after-house-fire-1.1089717
Note: Once again, it is increasingly dangerous to park your vehicle next to your home or inside an attached garage. Nobody was injured in this fire, but the family of four is now homeless and carless right before Christmas. If they'd parked their vehicle away from their home then yes, they'd be minus their car, but that'd make for a way better Christmas than being without a car AND being homeless. This has happened to a rapidly growing number of people and it saddens me to watch it happen over and over again. All I can do is keep warning and hope that it helps at least some people...

Note: Lots of compost pits and landfills and recycling centers burning. They all involve absorbent materials, which are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and spontaneously combusting. This fire began on November 30th and they're just letting it burn. Could be they couldn't put it out even if they wanted to, like that lake edge burning in Autralia that firefighters are unable to extinguish, as mentioned in the 2012-12-16 update...

2012-12-22 - Blaze breaks out at church in Millville (New Jersey):
http://www.courierpostonline.com/article/20121223/NEWS01/312230030
Note: I highlight the word 'mill' because mills are virtually always built near bodies of flowing water like streams and rivers, to provide free energy for millwork. These are low-lying areas where a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide will accumulate (just as water does for the same reason), and from which it will blow when the wind picks up. And indeed, Wiki has this to say about Millville:
Quote: "In 1790, Joseph Smith and Henry Drinker purchased 24,000 acres (97 km2) of land known as the Union Mills Tract. They also formed the Union Estates Company and built lumber mills along the Maurice River and established a dam to power these new mills."

http://www.vancouversun.com/news/people+dead+early+morning+fires+Manitoba+Saskatchewan/7737590/story.html
Note: Homes under construction are particularly vulnerable because they are mostly open to the atmosphere. They are especially in danger during the framing stage because of all that exposed wood, as wood is an absorbent material and is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting. Also, Regina has many ponds and lakes and streams all around it and running through it...

http://www.wvec.com/news/local/Abandoned-building-caught-fire-in-Accomack-County-184578851.html
Note: Dozens of vacant homes and buildings have burned down since November 13 in this area, which is right on the coast, near those methane hydrate deposits melting off the East Coast. The police and fire officials have no suspects, no witnesses, no sign of any human being near these fires. They blame arson anyway, because they don't have a clue what's going on, don't realize that the atmosphere itself is changing, filling up with methane and hydrogen sulfide, both flammable gases and thus accelerants...

Quote: "But when the crew from Oakham arrived, they found a fire in one of the garages which house Melton station's fire engines. It is understood a portable heater set fire to some clothing."
Note: Cloth is an absorbent material and is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting, like wood, paper, trash, compost, etc. Put any kind of heat source near clothing that's been contaminated with accelerant(s) and whoosh, fire breaks out. This story is not unlike the man who burst into flame while cooking at home in Indianapolis (Indiana) the day prior, as mentioned in the 2012-12-20 update..

Note: There's that popping sound again. That's the sound of a small gas plume igniting and exploding. The explosion may have been a larger accumulation of gas detonating, and then fire erupted. The owner is probably lucky he or she WASN'T at home, else they might be dead now...

http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/news/local/article_422b5998-4be9-11e2-9630-0019bb30f31a.html
Quote: "They used some kind of accelerant on the palm tree itself..."
Note: Accelerant, correct. 'They', probably incorrect. Absorbent materials - wood, clothes, paper, cardboard, etc - are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane, both flammable and thus accelerants, and spontaneously combusting. A palm tree may qualify as an 'absorbent material'. This isn't the first such incident either. A palm tree burst into flame near an RV park in Lake Havasu City (Arizona), as mentioned in the 2012-08-26 update, and multiple palm trees burst into flame near the Marina Mall in Kuwait, as mentioned in the 2012-07-23 update. Perhaps palm trees are more absorbent than other trees. However, there are 500 million dead trees in Texas alone now, died from drought, and once those fully dry then they could ALL start burning like these palm trees. That could happen this summer...

Quote: "'That is bizarre,' Corbett said, shaking his head at the burnt heap. 'It’s been sitting there for a day and a half.'"
Note: Semi wasn't running, was just sitting there. Longview sits at the junction of the Cowlitz River and the Columbia River...

2012-12-20 - Massive fire breaks out in Langtang National Park Area (Nepal), explosion also mentioned:
http://zeenews.india.com/news/south-asia/massive-fire-breaks-out-at-langtang-park-in-nepal_817991.html
Quote: "Senior geologist Dharma Raj Khadka told 'Nepalnews' that that it was highly unlikely that a volcanic eruption had taken place in the area. 'There might be other reasons behind the explosion,' he said."
Note: So it sounds like residents heard an explosion and then the national park went up in flames. If volcanic activity is ruled out then that sounds like a flammable hydrogen sulfide and/or methane plume detonated and ignited the park, and the residents heard the initial explosion, much like the 'boom sounds' being heard in the United States and elsewhere around the world...

Note: And there were at least two more fires in North St. Louis the day prior, as mentioned in the 2012-12-19 update, and at least a couple dozen fires in that area since November. Also, basements are where a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide will tend to accumulate once it infiltrates a building...

2012-12-20 - Yet another vacant structure burns in Virginia's Eastern Shore area, in Accomac (Virginia):
http://www.wboc.com/story/20399035/another-structure-fire-in-accomack-county
Note: This was the 37th fire in that area since mid-November. Ruled arson as usual. That's because their equation is no longer reflective of reality. They go by this equation: IF (NO_UTILITIES) THEN ARSON = TRUE. They may also have found evidence of accelerants. Well, that's what methane and hydrogen sulfide are: accelerants. They're absorbing into wood, paper, cloth, etc and spontaneously combusting. In all of these 37 fires, nobody has ever seen a human being and there is no motive. Their assumption of arson based on that no-longer-valid equation is, in most or all of these cases, wrong. And it's not just that area of course. This is a planetary problem, so 'arson' incidents are on the rise all over, from coast to coast, and elsewhere. A fire chief in Ohio has pleaded with 'the arsonists' to stop burning houses in his town. Well, seeing as there is no human culprit, I hope he's not too optimistic about his plea being heard...

http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20121219/NEWS01/712199925
Note: More wood spontaneously combusting. There have been quite a number of instances of pallets bursting into flame the last few months. Wood is absorbent and is absorbing methane and/or hydrogen sulfide and spontaneously combusting. Art galleries (frames), door companies, cabinet companies, wood carving businesses, prison and school wood shops, porches, gazebos, door frames at homes, lumber companies, saw mills, pallets, utility poles (though I think that's the electrified copper reacting with hydrogen sulfide in at least some instances), you name it...

Quote: "'They can catch people breaking into houses and all that but they can't catch somebody who has burnt down 30 something houses?' Hart said, 'I mean all these people around here, they've got to see something.'"
Note: Nobody's going to see anything because there are no people involved in these fires, at least in most cases. It's simply stuff absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting, or gas plumes blowing through and finding an ignition source. So there's not going to be anything to see other than fire suddenly breaking out at this building or that building. Same thing happening in Marion (Ohio), North St. Louis (Missouri), and many other places...

http://www.kmov.com/news/local/Authorities-battle-wharehou-184175311.html
Note: Above two stories, same day, North St. Louis again. Many fires there in the last month or two, not unlike Virginia's Eastern Shore fires or the Southern Shore fires in Massachusetts. St. Louis is in the Mississippi River Valley, and just as water flows from the north to the Gulf of Mexico, so too will a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide. It just so happens that NORTH St. Louis is apt to be the first area to be hit in the St. Louis area. Once a lot of North St. Louis has burned, then areas farther south in the city will start getting hit harder. This same general scenario will play out in all cities in time...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide can ignite if it passes through rusty iron pipes. Junk cars, like the mountain of them in this fire, often have rusted steel which is mainly iron, so it's no stretch to think the same thing could happen at scrapyards and junkyards, and there have been a whole lot of fires at such facilities the last few months...

Note: Another home just burned there too, as mentioned in the 2012-12-14 update. That township is in Ocean County, right on the coast, which means it's not that far from the methane belching from those almost 4,000 square miles of melting methane hydrate deposits off the US East Coast. Then there are all the vacant buildings going up in flames in Virginia's Eastern Shore area, and piles of vacant homes burning up in the Southern Shores area of Massachusetts. Clearly the East Coast is not going to fare well as things proceed...

http://www.wboc.com/story/20359494/15-people-injured-in-sunday-fire-on-race-street-in-cambridge
http://www.wbaltv.com/news/maryland/eastern-shore/21-sent-to-hospitals-after-Cambridge-fire/-/15158402/17801034/-/112dy0dz/-/index.html
Note: The first floor was a clothing store, and cloth is absorbent and will be absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting. (That's why there are growing numbers of people bursting into flame; it's their clothes.) The other two floors had 4 apartments on each floor and of the 8 apartments, 3 were vacant. So, absorbent materials on the ground floor (where a heaver-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide will accumulate), 3 vacant apartments, and on the coast. The second link has a map that shows just how close this building was to the coast. This place was destined to burn at some point...

Quote: "The two overnight fires mark the 31st and 32nd reported since Nov. 13."
Note: Another small fire mentioned in the story. They're blaming arson, as usual, because they cannot comprehend that homes are simply spontaneously combusting now. But they have zero witnesses, no motive, no suspects. Well, hopefully they'll catch on to what's happening before all of Virginia has been consumed by fire.

http://boston.cbslocal.com/2012/12/15/fire-destroys-west-bridgewater-home-that-was-under-construction/
Quote: "There have been at least 19 other suspicious fires south of Boston in the past two months."
Note: Not unlike many other cities. Mansfield (Ohio) has probably gotten hit by fires the worst, with at least 44 vacant homes burning since this summer just in that one medium-sized city. North St. Louis (Missouri) also had a major spate of vacant homes burning down in the last month or so, along with many other cities from California to Virginia and everywhere in between. Also, homes under construction are probably even more vulnerable to infiltration by hydrogen sulfide than vacant homes, especially in the framing stage when all that absorbent wood is fully exposed to the atmosphere...

He was wearing clothes and inside a sleeping bag, absorbent materials which will absorb hydrogen sulfide until they spontaneously combust. He's lucky to be alive at all. Nor is this the first incident involving fires injuring (or killing) homeless people, who frequently sleep on the ground, outside, fully exposed to the hydrogen sulfide and methane increasingly contaminating our atmosphere...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide can ignite if it passes through rusty iron pipes. It is no major extrapolation to see that the same is likely to occur in piles of scrap iron and steel, and indeed there have been many fires in auto salvage yards and metal salvage yards and the like in the past several months. Nothing else explains piles of metal catching fire...

Note: Were the cans in boxes, e.g. cardboard? Because cardboard is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting, as are a variety of other absorbent materials, including tires, books, paper, paper towels, generic trash, wood, cloth, cotton, etc.

http://www.wbir.com/rss/article/245496/2/Vacant-rental-house-catches-fire-in-East-Knoxville
Note: I highlight 'mill' because mills are virtually always built near bodies of flowing water to provide free energy for millwork, so anytime you see the word 'mill', there's very likely to be a stream, creek or river nearby, low-lyng areas where a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide will accumulate when the wind isn't blowing and from where it will blow when the wind picks up...

http://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/index.ssf/2012/12/oceana_county_firefighters_bat.html
Quote: "They also reported a possible issue with methane gas from the farm."
Note: Maybe that methane gas didn't come from the pigs, but rather from the oceans, which are now vigorously belching methane into the Earth's atmosphere. I highlight this fire because A) barns are going up in flames everywhere, with the many barn vulnerabilities noted in the 2012-11-19 update; and 2) there was just ANOTHER pig barn that went up in flames and killed 180 pigs the day prior in Minnesota, as mentioned in the 2012-12-11 update. Minnesota, right next door to Michigan. Gas plume(s) of some significant size sweeping through the Great Lakes area? Ya gotta wonder...
2012-12-12 - Edge of Lake Woytchugga (Australia) is on fire, and firefighters can't put it out:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-12-12/rural-fire-teams-baffled-by-burning-underground-lake/4424436
Quote: "'So we've tried everything from flooding the area with water, taking water tankers in and just flooding it, through to trying to dig a breaker around the area and contain the fire within a set location. Lately we've tried actually digging up the hot ground and trying to extinguish it that way but it just seems to keep going on us at this point in time.' It is proving to be one of the most frustrating fires they have had to fight. 'It's very uncommon. I've worked for the Rural Fire Service now for probably 15 years or so and never seen anything like this,' Mr Favelle said."
Note: Fires that are fueled by hydrogen sulfide don't go out easily with water. In fact, water can make it worse. Obviously, this lake is a low-lying area, which is why water accumulates there. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate there too, then it may seep into the ground and once ignited, they may just have to wait until there's no more gas left to burn. Not like they have any choice anyway, seeing as nothing they try stops the burning...
2012-12-12 - More mysterious explosions heard in Georgia, and other areas too:
http://www2.wjbf.com/news/2012/dec/12/more-mysterious-loud-booms-reported-csra-ar-5157851/
http://www2.wjbf.com/news/2012/dec/07/more-loud-booms-reported-columbia-county-reports-o-ar-5127072/
Note: Like Florida, Georgia is generally downwind of the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico, so hydrogen sulfide and probably methane too will be blowing that way. As the gas plumes find some ball lightning, or a lightning bolt or a lit cigarette or a barbecue grill or static electricity or any other ignition source, they are detonating. So far mainly they're detonating in the skies, which is a lot better than them detonating at ground level. When they're big concentrated plumes then you get huge explosions. Smaller plumes may sound more like gunfire, or fireworks, or 'popping sounds' when they detonate...

Wood is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting. They want to blame arson, but they have no witnesses, no motive, no nothing, so that's a pretty big assumption to make there, especially considering the atmosphere is filling up with flammable accelerants...

2012-12-08 - Girl, 4, critically burned when her clothes ignite after she walks near gas fire, in Bury (Britain):
http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/uk/girl-four-burned-in-fire-accident-16248151.html
Note: Clothes are absorbent and they will absorb hydrogen sulfide and/or methane. The flame she got near provided the ignition source, but the real calamity may very well have been caused by her clothes having absorbed an accelerant. Also, hydrogen sulfide burns very hot, which exacerbates burn injuries. A child, 8, was found burning, clothes on fire, in Ballymena (Ireland) recently also, as mentioned in the 2012-11-16 update. A pillow burst into flame and awakened a child in Deer River (Minnesota), resulting in a fire which destroyed the home, as mentioned on the 2012-09-09 update. A woman left her home and burst into flame in Phoenix (Arizona), as mentioned in the 2012-08-21 update. It's all probably the same thing: clothes being contaminated with either hydrogen sulfide or methane or both. As time goes on, this problem will worsen...

2012-12-06 - Dozens of utility poles burst into flame in Central Texas:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=PW-20121206-37422-USA
http://www.wacotrib.com/news/182482321.html
http://www.kxxv.com/story/20277159/power-outages
Note: This isn't the first time utility poles have burst into flame. This is the first time it's been multiple poles going up at once in the same general geographic area though. A man was found dead and burning on a utility pole in Detroit (Michigan), as mentioned in the 2012-11-10 update. A utility pole burst into flame in coastal Hyannis (Massachusetts), as mentioned in the 2012-10-19 update. A utility pole went up in flames on Valley Road in coastal Greenwich (Connecticut), as mentioned in the 2012-10-06 update. A utility pole burst into flame in coastal Tacoma (Washington), as mentioned in the 2012-09-29 update. And a utility pole burst into flame in Las Vegas (Nevada), spread to trees and 6 homes and injured 4 people, as mentioned in the 2012-09-23 update.
So, what's happening? It's probably a combination of things. First, the poles themselves are wood, and wood itself is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting. In the case here in Texas, this was probably a hydrogen sulfide plume blowing through that area, coming in off the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, e.g. power lines. So the plume hits the pole, there's a spark, and the wood - which has probably been absorbing hydrogen sulfide for some time now - erupts in flame, or the gas itself ignites and starts the wood pole and/or the coating of the lines on fire. Obviously, this is a hideous problem. This one problem alone could ultimately ignite much of the industrialized world...

2012-12-06 - Passenger bus bursts into flame in Bedford Hills (New York):
http://bedford.patch.com/articles/bus-damaged-in-fire-on-caramoor-grounds-no-injuries
Quote: "No one was on board and no injuries were reported. Officials believe the vehicle had been parked there for several hours."
Note: Vehicles don't have to be running for them to spontaneous combust. That's why there are so many inside garages and auto shops and at car parks and in parking garages going up in flames. That's probably from hydrogen sulfide finding electrified copper (with which it is reactive), causing a spark, which ignites the gas, and then the vehicle goes up in flames. The same thing will happen inside homes and barns and businesses and planes and on utility poles; if there's exposed copper, especially copper with a current running through it, then a fire could erupt at any time...

2012-12-04 - Mysterious massive explosion heard, and light seen, over Narragansett Bay (Rhode Island):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=EX-20121205-37400-USA
http://www.wpri.com/dpp/news/local_news/east_bay/explosion-heard-on-bay-nothing-found
http://www2.turnto10.com/news/2012/dec/04/crews-search-bay-after-reports-explosion-lights-ar-1263225/
Quote: "I was downstairs in my basement, I have small windows, and I was able to see a flash of light and it was basically the biggest explosion I’ve ever heard in my whole life..."
Note: Authorities found nothing. That was very likely a methane plume exploding above the bay. There are nearly 4,000 square miles of subsurface methane hydrate deposits dissociating (melting) now off the East Coast. When the wind blows the methane plumes westward toward the East Coast and the plumes find an ignition source (lightning, static electricity, a barbecue grill, a cigarette, a hot chimney, whatever) then there will be explosions, and they could be massive. This one was heard and felt as far as 40 miles away. Eventually these explosions may be as large as small-scale nuclear blasts like the fission explosion used on Hiroshima, but minus the radiation. That's not a joke and that's not an exaggeration.

http://salem.patch.com/articles/what-s-causing-those-unexplained-explosions

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=WF-20121205-37405-AUS
Quote: "People living in the Halliford and Lake Broadwater areas are being told to leave their homes or put their bushfire plans into action as the blaze moves northwest over the next six hours. The Queensland Rural Fire services warns it will be very hot and windy and as the fire approaches it may become increasingly difficult to see, hear or breathe. Some homes and livestock may be lost in the inferno. QRFS also expects power and water supplies to be cut, and mobile phone coverage in the area to be lost."

2012-12-03 - RV bursts into flame in Kingsbury (Britain):
http://www.thisistamworth.co.uk/Kingsbury-caravan/story-17487030-detail/story.html
Note: Per Wiki, "A recreational vehicle normally includes a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom and a living room. In other countries the terms caravan, camper van or motorhome are more common, and the vehicles themselves vary, although typically being smaller than those in North America." So to be clear, I use the word 'RV', though the news stories may use the term 'caravan'. (It's fewer characters, so I can fit more info into the one- or two-line event summary.) If they explicitly say camper-van then I do use that term, because camper-vans are generally significantly smaller than RVs...

Quote: "...a witness reported seeing the birds in flight before turning back around to see them on the ground."
Note: So they died almost instantly. They probably hit a gas plume, likely hydrogen sulfide, which is a fast-acting 'knockdown agent', then plummeted from the sky dead. This same kind of thing happened New Years Eve a couple of years ago in Beebe (Arkansas). Officials blamed fireworks for that. I think they were right, in a way. The fireworks scared the birds and they took flight then flew into a gas plume and fell from the sky dead...

Note: A putrid odor swept through Toronto recently, as mentioned in the 2012-11-09 update. Lake Erie has had a dead zone problem for years and is likely pluming hydrogen sulfide now. That may now be true of Lake Ontario and the other Great Lakes as well. The warmer and more anoxic the waters of the Earth get, the greater the chance that they will become poison factories...

http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/751250.shtml
Note: They suspect carbon monoxide. Well, anyone can suspect anything. I'm sure some will suspect aliens or demons. I suspect they either got hit by a cloud of carbon monoxide created by the incomplete burning of methane and/or hydrogen sulfide plumes in the atmosphere (those 'mystery booms' and 'flashes of light' being reported around the world), or some hydrogen sulfide killed them. Also, it's quite rare for carbon monoxide to kill this many people, for the obvious reason: some would succumb first, others would see that happening and flee or open windows. If they were all in the same room, all weighed about the same and had their mouths and noses at about the same elevation, sure, maybe, but that's highly unlikely. There's no way to know, but regardless, when a family of 7 drops dead, it's worth paying attention to...

Homeless people are the most vulnerable to the increasing amounts of hydrogen sulfide and methane in the atmosphere, because they're fully exposed virtually all of the time...

Quote: "Authorities believe Bego, who had operated the posh art house since 1997, committed suicide though they found no note."
Note: Clearly she fell. They're assuming suicide. With all the people losing consciousness these days that is one big assumption. She could have leaned out over her balcony, gotten a whiff of hydrogen sulfide blowing by, lost consciousness, and toppled. Not unlike the recent skydiver deaths, where they never pulled the cord because they'd lost consciousness. Also, above three stories, all New York City, right on the coast...

http://www.nyasatimes.com/malawi/2012/12/22/another-death-at-malawis-mkango-lodge-teen-boy-drowns-in-pool/
Quote: "This is almost 15 days since another person also drowned into the swimming pool at the lodge. And there have been a few other cases of drowning at the lodge. Police who brought the remains of Mbale to the hospital wondered why drowning cases were rapidly increasing at the lodge."
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is water-soluble and will contaminate water, and that includes pools. I discussed the pool deaths in this post. That lodge may simply be topographically vulnerable, near a coast, down in a little depression, roofs slanting toward the pool, something like that, so that heavier-than-air hydrogen sulfide flows into the pool. As people swim, it evaporates out, they breathe it, lose consciousness and then breathe water until dead, breathing being an involuntary reflex...

2012-12-19 - Dutch skydiver doesn't open parachute, falls and dies, parachute okay, in the Netherlands:
http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/europe/benelux/121219/dead-dutch-skydiver-found-9-days-after-jump
Note: They say suicide. Well, that's one theory. Same thing happened to a skydiver in New Jersey recently too, as mentioned in the 2012-11-27 update. They're probably falling through methane or hydrogen sulfide plumes, or both, and losing consciousness on the way down. Unconscious people don't pull their cords, so they die. That's why I mentioned how important location is when you're knocked unconscious. Lose consciousness while leaning over a balcony or railing over a precipice, or at a cliff, a window ledge, edge of parking garage, etc? Then you fall and die. Lose consciousness driving and you veer off road or into oncoming traffic. Lose consciousness as your home or car bursts into flame then you're incinerated. Lose consciousness in water and you drown. Lose consciousness while walking home in the snow and your body will be found frozen. And so on. You get the idea...

2012-12-12 - Teen, 16, drops dead during sports competition in middle of game in coastal Cork (Ireland):
http://www.independent.ie/national-news/sportsmad-teen-drops-dead-in-middle-of-game-3324067.html
Quote: "A family has spoken of their heartbreak after a sports-obsessed teen died from suspected Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS)."
Quote: "His death brings to three the number of youngsters claimed by SDS in the community in the space of just 10 weeks."
Note: Sudden Death Syndrome, or SDS, appears to be the name they've given to people suddenly dropping dead, presumably because if it has a name then people won't find it so alarming. People are breathing in poisonous hydrogen sulfide. It harms the heart, among other things. Then people drop dead, if not immediately then later, depending on the severity of the damage, and that causes 'sudden death'. Adding the word 'syndrome' to the end of 'sudden death' doesn't change what's happening: people are dropping dead, including young and healthy people...

Quote: "The unidentified male – who was apparently in his 30s – reportedly removed his clothing before entering the lake..."
Note: More nudity, followed by death. I smell neuro-zombie here. Aberrant behavior involving nudity, near a body of water, and downwind of oceanic dead zones, in this case downwind of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. He didn't eat anyone's face, no, but in every other way this bears striking similarity to the original face-eater incident in Florida, which is downwind of the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico...

Quote: "The engine was still running and in gear, with the wheels still turning."
Quote: "...it appears Ames suffered a medical problem prior to the crash."
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas which will accumulate in low-lying areas such as creeks. It's also deadly and breathing it will indeed cause medical problems, one of which medical professionals call 'death'...

Note: All three of the above stories were probably caused by the driver breathing in a breath or two of hydrogen sulfide and losing consciousness (or dying), with the vehicle plowing into the water, where even if they weren't already dead, they then breathed water until they were. It's very dangerous now to drive anywhere near a body of water, or, arguably, to drive at all...

http://seguingazette.com/article_b82eaadc-4180-11e2-a820-001a4bcf887a.html
Note: He may have fallen unconscious on the road, or he may simply have dropped dead there. Either way, he ended up getting hit by a vehicle and was dead after that. Hydrogen sulfide is a fast-acting 'knockdown agent' and can render a person unconscious or dead with one breath. When you fall unconscious, it's all about location, location, location. There was just a skydiver who fell unconscious in New Jersey while skydiving, as mentioned in the 2012-11-27 update. Obviously he ended up dead. The same is surely true of many of the 'drowning' deaths: fall unconscious in the water and you drown, breathing being an involuntary reflex. Fall unconscious while at the edge of a cliff or on a balcony and you may topple to your death. Fall unconscious flying a plane or driving a vehicle and you will crash. Fall unconscious as your car bursts into flame and you'll be incinerated. And so on...

Note: I talked about the dangers of swimming pools in this post back in July. Since then a library was closed because hydrogen sulfide was infiltrating the building via contaminated water, as mentioned in this post.

Yet in all of 2011 there was one (1) heroin overdose in Ashland, but now two in 2 days, in the same general area? That sounds like something else. Oh, they might have been junkies, and they may find heroin in their systems, but being a junkie doesn't make one immune to hydrogen sulfide poisoning. Where were the bodies found? Basement areas? Windows open? Spent time outdoors recently? Near a stream or a lake or river, down in a valley? Gone fishing or hunting recently? We'll never know, because the cops don't know enough to even ask these questions...

http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Concern-over-high-rate-of-head-on-crashes-20121223
Note: I mentioned in the full hypothesis that drivers of all types of vehicles would be losing consciousness from breathing hydrogen sulfide (see bus event below and another in the 2012-12-21 update too). Well, when you lose consciousness driving, your vehicle will tend to veer left or right, off the road or into oncoming traffic. I'm sure if they looked at their stats there they would also see a lot of accidents where the vehicle leaves the road and plows into a tree or a home or a pedestrian too. You can't count on staying conscious anymore, and you can't count on other drivers remaining conscious anymore either, which makes driving increasingly dangerous. Your odds of living on any particular trip are undoubtedly still good, but those odds are worsening...
2012-12-22 - Charter plane crashes on the Belcher Islands in southeastern Hudson Bay (Canada), 1 killed, several injured:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VI-20121223-37605-CAN
http://www.vancouversun.com/news/dead+several+injured+Nunavut+chartered+plane+crash/7738005/story.html
Quote: "A plane en route to Nunavut from Winnipeg has crashed with nine people aboard, an official with the territorial government says. The Perimeter Aviation plane aborted a landing and crashed less than a kilometre from the end of the runway in Sanikiluaq, carrying seven passengers and two crew, at about 6 p.m. ET, said a Nunavut official."
2012-12-22 - Charter bus veers off road, crashes, near the Inner Harbor in coastal Baltimore (Maryland), 10 injured:
http://www.firehouse.com/news/10845845/injuries-reported-after-charter-bus-crashes-in-md
Quote: "... initial reports from troopers at the scene said the bus had run off the road after the driver 'passed out or fell asleep' and ran up an embankment then went back on the roadway."
Note: So this could have been another bus driver losing consciousness, as just happened the day prior, where a transit bus driver lost consciousness and plowed into 21 parked vehicles and a laundromat in Chicago (Illinois), near Lake Michigan, as mentioned in the 2012-12-21 update. The frequency of these events does appear to be accelerating. And it's not just bus drivers losing consciousness, but all types of drivers. The bus incidents simply get more attention because they're big ol' buses...

2012-12-21 - Tractor trailer crashes and bursts into flame in the Lehigh Tunnel in East Penn Township (Pennsylvania):
http://articles.mcall.com/2012-12-21/news/mc-t-turnpike-banana-truck-fire-at-tunnel-20121221_1_fiery-crash-tractor-trailer-crash-fatal-collision
Quote: "The woman who died was one of hundreds of northbound Turnpike motorists held up because a tractor-trailer hauling bananas crashed north of the Lehigh Tunnel in East Penn Township and caught fire at 6:10 p.m. The truck's tractor reportedly was engulfed in flames, but no one in the truck was injured seriously. One person in the truck was checked for chest pains."
Note: Shortly after the big rig crash and fire, a car read-ended a car and 4 cars caught fire inside the tunnel too, killing a woman who was trapped in one of them. Tunnels are likely to capture a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide and prevent wind from blowing it onward easily. Hydrogen sulfide is also a broad-spectrum poison which can affect the heart, causing chest pains like the driver of the big rig experienced. In any case, heck of a lot of events within one hour in the tunnel there with a big rig and four passenger vehicles burning. Unquestionably out-of-the-ordinary.
2012-12-21 - Bus driver loses consciousness, crashes transit bus into 21 parked vehicles and laundromat in Chicago (Illinois), 2 injured:
http://www.chicagofiremap.net/2012/12/cta-bus-crash-with-vehicles-injures-two_21.html
Note: As mentioned, hydrogen sulfide is a fast-acting 'knockdown agent' and will knock drivers unconscious and cause accidents. This is affecting ALL drivers, but when it's a bus then a lot of mass is involved and often many people too. This is by no means the only bus driver to lose consciousness while driving in recent times. There was another incident like this in the 2012-11-28 update, another in the 2012-11-16 update, another in the 2012-10-10 update, another in the 2012-10-03 update, etc.

Note: Tires are absorbing hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas which will sink to ground level, which is where tires are, and rubber is somewhat absorbent. There have been many tire fires these past few months. This causes the tires to ignite or explode when brakes are applied, which generates heat from the brake-friction, for instance when slowing down after landing a plane. When it's the front tire of a plane that blows, then the struts dig into the ground and the plane often flips over. This is undoubtedly why a lot of big trucks are crashing and overturning too: they brake coming up to a turn, one or more tires blow, the truck flips. It's happening to smaller passenger vehicles too, just not as often since far less mass is involved than with, say, a loaded tanker truck or semi or car-hauler, which means less friction and less heat. Sometimes the brakes themselves ignite too. This is the cause of a fair number of the vehicular fires involving moving vehicles....

California, downwind of the dead zone called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. These types of accidents, involving incapacitated drivers, are becoming more common, as predicted in the full hypothesis...

2012-12-27 - Woman parks car on bridge, leaps into the St. Croix River (Minnesota), leaves 11-year-old daughter in car, 1 killed:
http://www.startribune.com/local/east/184946181.html
Note: This must be a female neuro-zombie thing. Not seen a man do this sort of thing, but seen several women do things like this now. One woman got in a car accident, left her kids in the car, went and ordered ice cream and then stripped naked, as mentioned in the 2012-06-19 update. Then there was a another woman who abandoned her kids in car to go 'look for God', as mentioned in the 2012-06-27 update. (She was later found dead in a creek.) And there was a woman who 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. These stories are eerily similar!

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/samurai-sword-attack-woman-hospital-211145475.html#1M7JEFl
Quote: "I was woken up by a woman screaming. Horrific screams, like an animal..."
Note: An incoherent man recently attacked firefighters with a sword and shield as they tried to put out a fire at his house, in Portland (Oregon), as mentioned in the 2012-12-16 update. Maybe some neuro-zombies prefer edged weapons, if they haven't fully degraded to the animalistic level like the original face-eater. Seems like these types of attacks are on the rise, people attacking strangers for no discernible reason, often with sharp instruments...

2012-12-16 - Incoherent man wielding sword and shield attacks firefights fighting fire in Portland (Oregon):
http://www.katu.com/news/local/Man-with-sword-stops-firefighters-dog-rescued-from-house-fire-183711341.html
Quote: "Officers tried to talk to the man, but he kept swinging the sword and yelling incoherently, Pashley said. Officers managed to fire a Taser at the man then take him safely away so firefighters could get in."
Note: Not only does hydrogen sulfide cause and exacerbate fires, being flammable, it's also neurotoxic and damages brains. This guy has probably sustained some brain damage and possibly other organ damage as well...
2012-12-15 - Man arrested after firing gun while driving, thought he was fishing, in coastal St. Lucie County (Florida):
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/strange/floriduh-blog/sfl-firing-gun-20121215,0,5547685.story
Quote: "The 55-year-old Port Charlotte man told deputies that he was on his way to Merritt Island, had stopped to fish and wanted to have some fun by firing his gun while he was fishing. He also told detectives he was firing at paper targets, according to the release."
Quote: "Deputies said the 55-year-old Port Charlotte man appeared worried and told them he had not slept in four days and didn't remember shooting from his Bronco."
Note: Hydrogen sulfide's neurotoxic properties can cause brain damage, resulting in disorientation, hallucinations, memory loss. This guy really seems to have thought he was fishing. Not far from the original face-eater incident, and again in Florida, downwind of the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico. This event is almost as interesting as the man who toppled into a ravine and forgot who he was and hitch-hiked/worked his way for 1000 miles before cops told him who he was, as mentioned in the 2012-08-11 update. (But being TOLD who you are isn't the same as KNOWING who you are. One wonders if he ever remembered his identity himself.)

Quote: "But she said her neighbor refused and just mumbled something, so she shut the door and called 911."
Note: Nudity, aberrant behavior, difficulty speaking, possible disorientation, all signs of a neuro-zombie. Also, not very far from the original face-eater incident, which was also in coastal Florida, downwind of the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico...

2012-12-10 - Man, 24, bites cheek off baby, chews on her leg, at home in Port-of-Spain on the island of Trinidad:
http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/338776
Quote: "Then, without warning, he grabbed tiny Jinayah and took a large bite from her left cheek. As the baby screamed and flesh fell from his teeth, the man then bit deeply into her right leg."
Note: Well, I see why law enforcement had anti-zombie training in California recently. As the amount of hydrogen sulfide blowing around the atmosphere increases, events like this will become increasingly common. Anyone could become a neuro-zombie at any time now...
2012-12-09 - Grad student, 38, behaves erratically, attacks cop, at campus in San Bernardino (California), gets shot dead:
http://www.sacbee.com/2012/12/08/5041745/cal-state-san-bernardino-police.html
Quote: "The suspect demonstrated some super human-strength..."
Note: The story says that he suffered from 'mental instability'. My question would be, since when? When did that start? Recently? Last year or so? That may have been when he breathed in some neurotoxic hydrogen sulfide, which damaged his brain. This isn't the first bizarro incident at a campus in California recently. A man, foaming at the mouth, attacked students at Smythe Academy campus in Sacramento less than two months ago, as mentioned in the 2012-10-17 update. California is downwind of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is surely pluming hydrogen sulfide now...

Note: The neurological damage caused by hydrogen sulfide exposure doesn't just affect humans. All animals will be affected, and they will become more violent and unpredictable depending on the severity of the damage their brains have sustained. The same, of course, is true of people, which is surely why there are now so many incidents of riots, teenagers attacking people, stabbing incidents, etc.

Note: Same symptoms as hydrogen sulfide poisoning there. Also the same as the passengers sickening on cruise ships. This city is a coastal port city. Don't usually see people dying like that from norovirus either. I don't think I buy the official explanation here, nor on the sickening passengers on the cruise ships....

http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/When_the_ice_melts_the_Earth_spews_fire_999.html
Note: Harvard University geologists and others have proved MISA Theory correct. MISA stands for Mass-Induced Seismic Amplification. My alternate name for it is the OHSHIT Theory. That is a previous theory of mine that I posted on Christmas Day in 2010, just 2.5 months before one of the largest quakes ever recorded hit off the coast of Japan. I even mention Japan specifically in the third paragraph. I wish they had DISproved MISA Theory. I believe it may very well be the volcanic eruptions that are heating up the oceans, or at least greatly contibuting to their heating, and that in turn is melting the methane hydrate deposits around the world and allowing the ancient anaerobic bacteria that spew hydrogen sulfide to grow their territory. Funny how everything kinda ties together. In any case, scientists have now caught up with MISA Theory, though it took them two years to do so, and it doesn't sound as if they realize that this is occurring right now...

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-12-23/wa-ocean-heatwave-linked-to-shark-attack/4441672
Quote: "Ocean temperatures rose up to five degrees last summer, and the Department says that has led to pockets of cooler water developing near the coastline."
Note: That is a LOT of heat that accumulated in the ocean there. This oceanic heating is what's causing the ancient bacteria that exude hydrogen sulfide to take over. These bacteria like warmer waters, low oxygen levels (which results from warming waters), and lots of biomatter (like feces and dead fish). The shark attacks increasing makes sense and is in part why I began monitoring shark and other animal attacks; all animals must adapt to the new reality that comes our way, else die. Unfortunately, by denying that this extinction event is happening, we basically assure that far more human beings will die than might otherwise die if we simply accepted reality and worked wholeheartedly and cooperatively to adapt. That difference could be YOUR life, or that of those you care about...

Note: Hundreds of passengers sickened on a cruise ship near the Netherlands recently too, as mentioned in the 2012-12-12 update. All of these 'flu-like symptoms' are the same as you'd see with low-level hydrogen sulfide exposure, which is also true of the 'flu-like illness' spreading through Minnesota and Florida (and probably other areas too)...

Quote: "Principal Erin Hatlestad says the number of students out sick was unprecedented."
Note: That's near the Great Lakes, low-lying areas where a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide will accumulate and from where it will blow when the wind picks up. Many symptoms of low-level hydrogen sulfide exposure are very 'flu-like': nausea, dizziness, eye irritation, sore throat, vomiting, headaches, etc. One must wonder if that's not what's sickening people there and in other areas, like Florida, downwind of the Gulf of Mexico, Britain, an island nation, etc.

On Tuesday, 2012-12-18, these 20 students sickened and carbon monoxide wasn't in their system, so it was something else contaminating their air.

2012-12-14 - Film-maker records glacier the size of Manhattan disintegrating, largest calving event ever recorded:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/12/ilulissat-glacier-break-calve-video_n_2287987.html
Note: Not the largest known about, but the largest recorded on film. The largest known about in the last 150 years happened earlier this summer and was twice this size. As the methane spewing from the oceans and seas reaches the upper atmosphere, it will create a kind of gigantic magnifying glass above us, the Earth will cook, and the oceans will belch more and more deadly and highly flammable heavier-than-air hydrogen sulfide into the atmosphere. This is an ancient extinction event, it is already underway, it is unstoppable, and it will eradicate the vast majority of life from the surface of the Earth, including most or all of human life. Some of us may have five years left. Many of us will not live that long. Many are already dead from the fires, explosions and poisoning...

Quote: "Passengers on a luxury cruise where illness has struck said it has been like sailing on a plague ship."
Quote: "Passengers became ill almost immediately [after] we set sail and the outbreak swept like wildfire through the ship."
Note: So as soon as they left port and went out into the ocean passengers began sickening...

2012-12-11 - Plane that crashed and killed Jenni Rivera hit ground at 600 MPH:
http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/12/11/official-plane-carrying-jenni-rivera-6-others-nose-dived-hit-ground-at-600mph/
Note: That sounds like it was under power the whole way down. And that sounds like the pilot lost consciousness and slumped over the wheel. In a car if you slump over the wheel, not much happens, because cars move in 2 dimensions. If you slump over the 'wheel' in a plane, that would push the plane into a steep dive, like happened with this one. From the passengers' perspective, they probably fell forward, against the cockpit door, and had about 50 seconds before the plane hit the ground, but realistically, if they didn't pull up on the controls in the first 30 seconds then they were doomed. And they were probably panicked and freaking out that long, or unable to get the door open (probably because they were all laying on it at that point), sooo....BOOM. That must have been one terrifying scream-filled last minute of life...

2012-12-10 - Mass media ignoring rash of sinkholes appearing around the United States:
http://www.infowars.com/why-is-the-media-ignoring-the-mass-sinkholes-popping-up-around-the-country/
Note: They're probably ignoring this because 1) they've been told to do so; and 2) because these events are difficult to blame on humans, and if humans aren't causing the problem then humans probably can't do anything to stop the problem. Basically, the sinkholes, and the poisoning of our atmosphere, are not likely to be covered in the mainstream news because these things might scare people too much. Dead people? The authorities can handle that, with mass fatality legislation and coffin liners and mass graves and the like. Scared people? Much more difficult to deal with that. So it is up to us to inform ourselves...
2012-12-10 - Hydrogen sulfide detected at big sinkhole in Louisiana, residents sickening:
http://enenews.com/giant-sinkhole-theres-hydrogen-sulfide-is-in-the-oil-residents-reporting-really-acute-health-impacts-video
Note: I wouldn't be so sure it's coming from any oil, though it could be. It is most often seen in landfills, septic systems, dead zones in oceans (like those near this sinkhole, probably not coincidentally), but it IS also present in oil sometimes, and it is also emitted by volcanic eruptions at times. But BY FAR the largest potential emitter of hydrogen sulfide are the waters of the Earth, if they get anoxic enough and warm enough, and they are. In any case, from the point of view of the residents sickening from it, it doesn't much matter where it's coming from; it just matters that it's there and it's sickening them...

2012-12-07 - Mysterious booms rock Verde Valley (Arizona):
http://www.kpho.com/story/20263184/mysterious-booms-rock-verde-valley
Quote: "It was just, boom-boom-boom-boom-boom all over the Verde Valley."
Note: Gas plumes detonating? The story mentions that that area contains lots of uninhabited land. If we're going to blow the stuff up ourselves, purposely, before it hits populated areas, that'd be the place to do it, where there aren't many people. Even if it's not blowing up via human action, hydrogen sulfide would settle in a valley like this, flow down into depressions, caves, ditches, ravines, etc, and the heat of the day might then detonate the gas without any human involvement. They say these booms felt like they came from below ground, and hydrogen sulfide is heavier-than-air, so I'd suspect that over methane in this instance...

2012-12-07 - Several loud booms reported in Columbia County (Georgia):
http://www2.wjbf.com/news/2012/dec/06/3/several-loud-booms-reported-columbia-county-ar-5115372/
Note: Well, as the atmosphere gets flooded with explosively flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide, explosions and fires are obviously going to happen with increasing regularity and escalating force. That's why the governments of the world are building underground facilities. Survival on the surface of the Earth simply isn't going to be possible...

Quote: "Faedo said after arriving on scene, fire officials activated the fire alarm and evacuated the school because other students were complaining of flu-like symptoms and there was potential that there could be an atmospheric problem in the school."
Quote: "Faedo said firefighters test for possible problems like natural gas, low-oxygen levels and carbon monoxide. 'We came up with nothing,' he said."
Note: They didn't test for hydrogen sulfide; they should have. Those children may suffer long-term neurological damage, kidney damage, liver damage, heart and circulatory damage, who knows...

2012-12-05 - 2012 easily on track to be the hottest year in the United States in U.S. history, going back to 1895:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2012/12/06/record-warm-year-usa/1750933/
Quote: "So far this year, the USA has had a nationally averaged temperature of 57.1 degrees, which is 3.3 degrees above average and a full degree above the previous warmest year, which was 1934."
Note: And that's nothing. Wait until all the methane belching from the oceans makes its way to the upper atmosphere, creating a kind of gigantic magnifying glass over the planet. Even if you can somehow survive the poisonous hydrogen sulfide and the raging fires and monstrous explosions, the temperature alone may make life impossible, at least on the surface of the Earth...

2012-12-04 - 'Flu-like' illness spiking in coastal Tampa Bay (Florida):
http://www2.tbo.com/news/breaking-news/2012/dec/05/4/namaino1-local-reports-of-flulike-illness-have-spi-ar-579397/
Quote: "Over the past few weeks there have been a good number of reports of influenzalike illnesses, McDougle said, and an average number of cases that proved to be the genuine flu."
Note: So actual flu cases are about normal, but incidents of people reporting 'flu-like' symptoms are high. Low-level hydrogen sulfide exposure causes flu-like symptoms: headache, eye irritation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, abdominal discomfort, etc. And Florida is downwind of the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico, which are surely pluming hydrogen sulfide...

Note: Biogenic sulfide corrosion? Tunnels and bridges and underground pipes and sewers would be where one would expect to see it first and worst. Just had that bridge collapse in New Jersey too, as mentioned in the 2012-11-29 update, which sent a train into Mantua Creek and caused a major HazMat incident...
