Event Update For 2013-05-21

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.

2013-05-21 - Mammoth blaze erupts at landfill in Tiruchirapalli (India), choking smoke envelops neighborhoods:

http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Tiruchirapalli/blaze-at-garbage-dump-suffocates-neighbourhood/article4738703.ece

 

Quote: "S.P. Saravanan, former councillor who has been campaigning for shifting the dump, termed the fire unprecedented and said residents in Jaganathapuram and Venkateswara Nagar were being forced to move out of the area."

 

Quote: "The thick smoke is causing suffocation. I have closed my unit and moved out. Some other residents in Jaganathapuram are moving out of their houses..."

 

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

 

2013-05-21 - Massive fire rips through plastic recycling facility in Windor (Canada), state of emergency declared:
http://news.ca.msn.com/top-stories/plastic-recycling-fire-in-windsor-ont-leads-to-state-of-emergency
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/story/2013/05/21/wdr-industrial-fire-.html
http://www.freep.com/article/20130521/NEWS01/305210113/Fire-in-Windsor-heavy-smoke
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130521/METRO/305210395/1478/

Quote: "A massive industrial fire at a plastic recycling facility in Windsor, Ont., has led the mayor to declare a state of emergency for an area of the city. Mayor Eddie Francis told residents in the city's west end to stay indoors, close their windows and not use air conditioning after a recycling facility caught fire mid-afternoon Tuesday."

2013-05-21 - Huge blaze devastates sawmill and lumber yard in Fulda (Germany):
http://firegeezer.com/2013/05/22/sawmill-fire-flashover-scorches-aerial-truck-in-germany/

Quote: "Several company vehicles were also destroyed and the firefighters were kept back from the fire for a while as several compressed gas cylinders periodically exploded in the flames."

Quote: "The saw shop, which contained many machines, was completely destroyed by the fire. There were also logs waiting to be processed into lumber. Also wood chips produced in the hall.  The adjacent carpentry shop was spared by the flames. The fire spread to a nearby warehouse, but it was not completely destroyed like the saw shop. According to the police the damage is over two million euros."

2013-05-21 - Box of ammunition explodes as man carries it, in New Castle (Delaware), 1 injured:
http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2013/05/21/trash-can-explosion-injures-man-in-delaware/

Note: Ammunition, sooo...brass? And what's brass made out of? Copper and zinc. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper. I don't know if brass has enough copper to pose a problem, but then again, I don't know that anybody has done that kind of research. Anyway, just noting the event, in case a pattern arises, of peoples' ammo blowing up on them. Putting a copper-based alloy next to explosive gunpowder may end up not being a very good idea...

2013-05-21 - Massive fire destroys 120 cars at auto scrapyard on Saltbrook Road in Cradley (Britain), near the River Stour:
http://www.expressandstar.com/news/emergency-services/2013/05/22/cars-destroyed-in-black-country-scrap-yard-blazes/

Note: Also mentioned, same night, 60 cars burned up at a different auto scrapyard in Bilston. They suspect arson, as usual. Not much else they can say, seeing as they haven't faced the reality that our atmosphere is being contaminated by hydrogen sulfide and methane. Maybe someday they'll cough up some surveillance video, or a witness, or a motive, or any type of evidence at all. So far all I'm hearing is an assumption. Seems like what their fire investigators are doing is hitting an 'arson' button anytime a fire breaks out that they can't explain. Psst, Britain! You could train monkeys to do that, and they'd work for bananas, and you'd save a lot of taxpayer money that way! Just sayin'...

2013-05-21 - Major blaze erupts at recycling plant in Widnes (Britain), roads closed, residents warned to stay indoors:

2013-05-21 - Transformer explodes in Council Bluffs (Iowa), near the Missouri River, 3500 customers lose power:
http://www.southwestiowanews.com/council_bluffs/news/local_news/transformer-explosion-leaves-western-council-bluffs-without-power/article_a89f86ba-c25c-11e2-a79a-001a4bcf887a.html

2013-05-21 - Electric meter explodes and burns at 12:30 AM at high-rise in suburb of coastal Mumbai (India), 2 killed, 7 injured:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Two-elderly-women-choked-to-death-in-Ghatkopar-high-rise-fire/articleshow/20190763.cms

Quote: "Two elderly women were killed when they tried to flee their flats after smoke from a fire triggered by an explosion in the electric meter room engulfed an 11-storey building in Ghatkopar (East). Seven others were injured in the incident around 12.30am on Tuesday."

Quote: "In a similar incident on May 3, three elderly persons fell and died while running down the stairs after a meter box explosion in a six-storey Mulund building."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that used in electrical infrastructure in buildings, vehicles, and pretty much everything else that has anything to do with electricity...

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/regions/05/21/13/roro-bus-catches-fire-iloilo

Note: RORO stands for 'roll-on roll-off'. Exactly what that means, I do not know. Heh.

http://fostercity.patch.com/groups/police-and-fire/p/car-fire-slows-traffic-on-san-mateo-bridge_cbc9e6d4

Note: This is the same bridge where the limousine burst into flame and incinerated 5 women not long ago, as mentioned in the 2013-05-04 update. California (and the entire North American West Coast generally) is downwind of the giant dead zone known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is surely pluming hydrogen sulfide now...

Note: Like pallets, wood decks and porches and fences look like a serious vulnerability. If you have a wood porch, deck or fence, I highly advise you to put a thick glaze of sealant and/or paint on the wood, and don't keep anything made of iron/steel that might rust too close to your house (that'd include vehicles)...
