Event Update For 2013-02-26

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.

http://mahwah.patch.com/articles/firefighters-battling-mahwah-house-fire
http://statter911.com/2013/02/26/raw-video-fire-in-electricians-van-to-mahwah-nj-home/

Quote: "According to Police Chief Jim Batelli, an electrician installing a generator in the house had parked in the driveway near the home’s garage. After 1 p.m., he heard a popping noise, and saw that his van was fully engulfed in flames..."

Note: Popping noises have been heard at the site of many of the recent fires as they erupt. That sound is probably smallish gas plumes, hydrogen sulfide or methane or both, igniting after finding an ignition source. An ignition source isn't necessarily a flame either: hydrogen sulfide is reactive with numerous chemicals, rusty iron/steel and copper, among other things. The copper reactivity problem is likely the cause of many of the non-running vehicles spontaneously combusting these days in peoples' garages or driveways, boats at dock or on trailers, RVs and buses in storage lots or depots, vehicles inside auto shops, etc.

Note: And that's why I recommend you don't park your vehicle next to your residence: so you don't lose both when either one bursts into flame. Hedge those bets! Also, it's probably wise not to park next to other vehicles either, although I certainly know that's not always as easy as it may sound...

http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/emergency-services/2013/02/27/dramatic-telford-car-fire-caught-on-camera/

Note: Story also mentions multiple chimney fires and a shed fire, stretching firefighting resources thin. I've mentioned that chimneys are a potential vulnerability. The stacks may get hot enough to ignite any passing flammable hydrogen sulfide and/or methane gas plumes, or hot particulates blowing out of them may do the same thing. Also, the covers over chimneys are designed to keep fluid (water) out, but they won't keep gases out. I'm not gonna focus on chimney fires, because there have always been some, but if you want to take the time and look for yourself, you'll see that it's clearly a rising problem...

http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Burning-body-found-in-Beaumont-dumpster-4309007.php

Note: Sorta like that guy who burst into flame near a dumpster outside a 7-11 in Provo (Utah) recently, as mentioned in the 2013-02-11 update. Dumpster-diving may not be all that safe of an activity anymore. Dumpsters are usually filled with flammable absorbent materials which will absorb hydrogen sulfide and/or methane. Also, if they're open-top dumpsters, then they'll tend to collect heavier-than-air hydrogen sulfide, like a bowl catches rainwater. The hydrogen sulfide might knock someone unconscious. Both methane and hydrogen sulfide are flammable. If you're a dumspter-diver AND a smoker, and you light up at the wrong time...

Quote: "KCAL9’s Stacey Butler said the man’s parachute reportedly didn’t open. Camp Pendleton officials, who said the incident marks the first time someone on active duty was killed during skydiving training..."

Note: I've been watching skydiving incidents for a bit now, and this isn't the first such incident, though it's apparently the first for Camp Pendleton Marines. I think in at least some cases the skydivers are being knocked unconscious by methane and/or hydrogen sulfide blowing through the atmosphere. Then they don't open their 'chute, and...splat.

Note: In the Permian-Triassic extinction event, insects fared better than other forms of life, though that was one of the rare extinction events that did seriously damage insect species. They probably fared best because of one primary reason: their reproductive rates. Clouds of deadly hydrogen sulfide gas and raging fires could wipe out 99 percent of them every year, and they'd still be able to come back, because they could reproduce quickly. For this reason alone, insects are likely to fare best in ALL extinction events, including the current one. Thus as human civilization withers away, insects will probably dominate the world, at least for a very long time...
