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.

2013-03-11 - Sinkhole opens up in neighborhood in Bethlehem Township (Pennsylvania), home rendered uninhabitable:
http://articles.mcall.com/2013-03-11/news/mc-bethlehem-township-sinkhole-repairs-20130311_1_sinkholes-houses-show-signs-block-of-row-homes
Note: A methane incident occurred in Leroy Township (Pennsylvania) not too long ago too, where they discovered 94% pure methane in the soil and a large plume of methane in the air, as mentioned in the 2012-09-08 update, before scientists had reported the nearly 4,000 square miles of dissociating (melting) methane hydrate deposits off the U.S. East Coast. That incident was blamed on a faulty gas well. So the government said the gas well leak was fixed. An independent contractor checked and THAT is when the highly-concentrated methane was detected in the soil and the large plume of methane in the air - AFTER the government said the problem was fixed. Clearly either the problem was not fixed, or the gas well they fixed had nothing to do with that methane in the first place.
Quote: "An official with Chesapeake Energy Corp, the driller at the center of the Leroy Township case, said baseline testing conducted before the gas wells were drilled revealed methane already was in the water."
If you look at the worldwide maps of methane hydrate deposits, what do you see? They are all along coasts, all over the planet. What those maps don't show is that some of those deposits probably extend UNDER the coasts in places. Over the ages, as these deposits have accumulated, we have also had soil erosion occurring and washing soil over the top. Then plants and animals moved in on that land. Eventually we came along and we built on that land too. As those underlying methane hydrate deposits dissociate, they are transforming from solid to liquid (water) and gas (methane). As that happens we are going to see land subsidence, and the methane will come up through the ground and bubble up from waterways. We're probably seeing that right now, to whatever extent, in Louisiana, Florida, Australia, possibly in Pennsylvania, and elsewhere. Nor should we expect every sinkhole to suddenly gout methane; the methane may dissociate underground a ways away, and the land subsidence appear elsewhere, not necessarily right above the methane hydrate deposits.
Not every sinkhole will be caused by methane hydrate deposits melting. This one may or may not have anything to do with that. I don't know that anyone has checked the soil and water in Bethlehem Township for methane, but I don't know that that hasn't been done either. Either way, SOME sinkholes will surely be caused by the lost volume as the methane hydrates melt away and turn into water and gas, so it now seems prudent for us to watch events related to land subsidence and see what patterns develop, and not simply assume that these events are 'normal' or that the problem won't worsen.
Because this problem has the potential to become catastrophic in scope and effect, I am separating sinkhole events out from now on; they will have their own section, their own category, so it's easier to watch them. (There are three other sinkhole incidents for this event update down below.)

Note: And another tire explodes. I bet he was braking when it happened too. If you drive on freeways, then you probably don't want to drive near any vehicle with a lot of mass because those vehicles are the ones most vulnerable to the brake-friction and tire-absorbency problem. That would include tanker trucks, tractor trailers, car-haulers, log trucks, dump trucks, cement trucks, RVs, buses - anything that looks big and massive.

Note: This is what I call 'the standard model' for recent vehicular accidents. Some of these accidents are likely caused by the driver getting a whiff of hydrogen sulfide and losing consciousness and crashing, then fire breaks out more easily than normal (since hydrogen sulfide is also a highly flammable gas). Some of these accidents are also surely caused by the tire absorbency and brake-friction problem, where tire rubber absorbs hydrogen sulfide over time, causing brake-friction to burn hotter than normal, resulting in fried brakes, ruptured brake lines or power steering lines, tires igniting or exploding, the entire vehicle going up in flames, or all of the above...

2013-03-11 - Tractor trailer overturns onto car on US 23 near Ann Arbor (Michigan), car driver crushed to death:
http://www.theoaklandpress.com/articles/2013/03/11/news/state/doc513e5be03eb0a061946407.txt
Quote: "State police say a truck pulling two trailers had a tire blowout on an expressway near Ann Arbor and overturned onto a passenger car, killing the driver."
Note: And another tire explodes. I bet he was braking when it happened too. If you drive on freeways, then you probably don't want to drive near any vehicle with a lot of mass because those vehicles are the ones most vulnerable to the brake-friction and tire-absorbency problem. That would include tanker trucks, tractor trailers, car-haulers, log trucks, dump trucks, cement trucks, RVs, buses - anything that looks big and massive.
