Event Update For 2013-03-06


Full Hypothesis

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.

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.
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.

2013-03-06 - Up to 60 golf carts incinerated in fire at golf club in coastal Vallejo (California):
http://www.clubandresortbusiness.com/2013/03/06/fire-at-blue-rock-springs-gc-causes-150000-of-damage/
 
Note: Golf carts are generally battery-powered. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially 'hot' copper with a charge running through it, like the battery cables connected to batteries in golf carts and other vehicles. That's also why the Boeing Dreamliner fleet was grounded: fires at the batteries. This is the third major golf cart fire in the last three weeks. Dozens of golf carts were destroyed by fire in Crystal Township (Michigan) recently, as mentioned in the 2013-02-20 update. More than 70 golf carts were destroyed by fire in Bluffton (South Carolina) a few days later, near the coast, as mentioned in the 2013-02-23 update. This is also very likely the reason so many non-running vehicles are bursting into flame in car parks, parking garages, parking lots, garages at homes, driveways, boats at docks, etc.: it's the reactivity of copper with hydrogen sulfide...

Prediction A - More Fires and Explosions, Especially Coastal

Quote: "At least 14 wildfires were reported in central Florida on Tuesday, including a fast-moving fire that authorities said is still a threat to a neighborhood. On Wednesday, fire crews said a blaze in Port St. John had jumped the fire lines and is threatening houses a half a mile away to the south."

Note: Fire after fire after fire in Florida the last month, mostly near coasts, as predicted. I wonder what fire season will look like when it begins...

Quote: "When fire crews they arrived they found a 30-foot high pile of crushed cars and tires on fire."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is being absorbed into tires, and hydrogen sulfide can also ignite in the presence of rusted iron/steel. The rust problem was likely the ignition source here then the contaminated tires went up in flames and the fire spread from there. There have been many fires very much like this one at junkyards, salvage yards, wrecking yards, and recycling businesses over the last year and the cause is probably the same in most or all of them...

http://www.nbc-2.com/story/21531079/overnight-fire-damages-port-charlotte-home

Quote: "According to the homeowner, the fire started near the air-conditioning unit outside of the home."

Note: What do air conditioners do? They move heat around but more generally they move the atmosphere around. And they also have copper in them, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially 'hot' copper with a current running through it. I've been noticing lots of similar fires involving equipment that manipulates the atmosphere in some way: heating units, air conditioners, ventilation shafts like the one that erupted in flame at the State Department in coastal Washington DC and injured 3 people, as mentioned in the 2012-11-24 update. It appears that such equipment is going to be increasingly fire-prone going forward...

Note: As mentioned, hydrogen sulfide and/or methane are being absorbed into tire rubber, which is a semi-absorbent material. It's probably mostly hydrogen sulfide because it's a heavier-than-air gas and tires rest on the ground. Then when brakes are applied the brake-friction generates more heat than it would normally (because hydrogen sulfide burns very hot) and the bad things happen: brakes get fried or ignite, tires ignite or explode, power steering lines or hydraulic lines or brake lines rupture from the heat, the vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This tends to happen more to heavy vehicles like buses and tractor trailers and tanker trucks because more mass requires more brake-friction to slow. Massive vehicles often have more tires too, e.g. more rubber that can be contaminated. An incident very much like this happened recently in California, where a tour bus's brakes went out near coastal Los Angeles (California) and the bus ended up crashing and killing 8 people and injuring dozens more, as mentioned in the 2013-02-03 update. There are a growing number of incidents just like this...

2013-03-06 - Pickup truck veers off road, hits trees, bursts into flame, in coastal Palmetto (Florida), 1 killed:
http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20130307/WIRE/130309678/-1/sports?Title=NEW-Palmetto-crash-kills-pickup-driver

Quote: "Witnesses told investigators that just before the truck reached the intersection, it left the roadway, jumped the curb and continued north through the park. The truck struck a sign and two trees, then crossed the intersection, striking another sign and a third tree. The final impact stopped the truck, which then caught fire."

Note: Sounds like the driver may have gotten a whiff of hydrogen sulfide and lost consciousness shortly before that intersection, then kept on going until something stopped the truck, which then caught fire and incinerated the driver, who may still have been alive at that point. This area is on Florida's Gulf Coast, downwind of the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico, which are surely pluming hydrogen sulfide now...
