Event Update For 2013-05-27

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.

Quote: "Photos show fire damage extending across at least four decks."

 

Quote: "The fire is the latest in a series of serious incidents on cruise ships that have shaken the industry, and it comes just four months after a fire left a Carnival ship dead in the water in the Gulf of Mexico."

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/smoke-seen-near-bolder-boulder-start-line

Quote: "I heard a loud crash and explosion and the flames were suddenly shooting up about 30 or 50 feet in the air..."

Note: The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane floating in the atmosphere above closer to the ground, making explosions, fires and hydrogen sulfide poisoning events more common during those hours...

2013-05-27 - Grain mill bursts into flame in Buffalo (New York):
http://www.wivb.com/dpp/news/buffalo/fire-boat-puts-out-grain-mill-blaze

Quote: "Fire trucks were unable to get to the blaze by land. Crews instead shot water toward the top of the grain mill using the fire boat."

Note: Seeing as it was a fire boat that put out the fire, this was obviously near a body of water. In fact, virtually all mills are near bodies of flowing water, to provide free energy for millwork. Having looked at hundreds of fires involving the word 'mill' in the last year or so, after looking, every single one has been by a creek, stream, river, etc...

Quote: "...the fire appeared to have started in an alley just outside the building."

Note: Dumpster in that alley? Filled with packaging and pieces of cut-up carpet? If so, that'd be where I'd guess this fire began. Carpet is another flammable absorbent material, like clothes for floors...

2013-05-27 - Deck bursts into flame at townhouse, fire spreads, 4 townhouses destroyed, in Elkridge (Maryland):
http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2013/05/28/2-alarm-fire-damagestownhomes-in-howard-co/

Quote: "...firefighters believe the fire may have originated either on the back deck or from the kitchen of the main fire structure."

Note: Wood porches and decks have all the vulnerabilities of pallets, and then some. First, wood is an absorbent flammable material and all such materials are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting. That includes wood, paper, cardboard, generic trash, dried brush, mulch, hay, straw, clothing, cotton, wool, etc. Secondly, porches and decks are generally held together with steel nails and screws, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel; sparking and fire can occur with no additional ignition source. Finally, hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and many homes have exterior electric lights or doorbells in the porch area. Over time the wood will absorb one or both gases, then eventually fire is going to break out. You're safer if you use that plasticky 'recycled wood' stuff since it's not nearly as absorbent as standard wood. If you have wood then you're safer if the wood is treated with a sealant or coated with a thick glaze of glossy exterior paint, or both. Got friends or family with wood porches or decks? Might wanna give them a heads-up...

2013-05-27 - Pallets and wood shed erupt in flame in coastal Lahaina on the island of Maui (Hawaii):
http://www.mauinews.com/page/content.detail/id/573104.html

Quote: "The structure and a large pile of wooden pallets next to it were fully involved when firefighters arrived."

Note: I'd bet this fire started in those pallets...

2013-05-27 - Unknown 'disease' kills over 100 people in 4 weeks, mostly children, near coastal Cotonou (Benin):

Quote: "More than 100 people, mostly children aged between four to 17, have died in the past four weeks from a disease yet to be scientifically identified in Benin."

Quote: "In the last four weeks, Dekin has reported over 100 deaths which have been caused by a disease that causes the victims to vomit blood and have strange snoring..."

Note: The 'strange snoring' is indicative of respiratory distress. As mentioned before, hydrogen sulfide poisoning at higher concentrations can cause bleeding from the mouth, nose, ears. This country is on the western side of Africa. In 2010, NASA showed a photo of a large hydrogen sulfide plume off the coast of Namibia, also on the western side of Africa. Perhaps there are now more hydrogen sulfide plumes and the gas is now blowing ashore in higher concentrations. Children are likely to succumb first and hardest simply because they weigh less and it thus takes less poison to sicken and/or kill them. If these deaths and sickenings are being caused by hydrogen sulfide then they will never find a pathogen...
