2013-05-26 - Small plane crashes after landing at airport in coastal West Palm Beach (Florida), landing gear collapses:
http://cbs12.com/news/top-stories/stories/small-plane-crash-leaves-2-people-shaken-but-alive-7650.shtml

Quote: "According to FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen the plane was on arrival from Marathon, FL when it tried to land and the front landing gear collapse sending the plane end over end."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is being absorbed into tire rubber and brake pads. Then when brakes are applied, the heat generated is greater than normal, because hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. Then bad things can happen: tires explode or ignite, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. With small planes like this, their tires blow, then their landing gear strut(s) hit the ground, and the landing gear collapses. When it's the nose gear - as in this case - the plane sometimes flips over. This usually happens right after landing, as it did here, because that's when planes have to hit their brakes the hardest...

http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/small-plane-makes-emergency-landing-landfill-cocoa/nX387/

Note: Hmm, look at the above three events - all small planes having problems, all in Florida, all near coastlines, all during the same day. Florida is downwind of the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico, which are surely pluming hydrogen sulfide now. It may not be too terribly safe to be flying in or near Florida now, especially in small planes...

http://www.kutv.com/news/top-stories/stories/vid_5107.shtml
http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-and-west/provo-couple-dies-st-george-motorhome-crash

Quote: "The 40-foot RV, with a 4-door Jeep in tow, was traveling southbound around 5:45 a.m. between the exits of St. George Boulevard and Bluff Street when it careened off the freeway. 'Looks like a mechanical issue with the tire that might have blown,' Trooper Pastor said, adding that investigators found shreds of the front right tire on the roadway."

Quote: "The RV then traveled hundreds of feet down an embankment, across a street, over a field, toppling a fence and cinder block wall and clean through the garage of a duplex. The RV finally stopped just inches from the duplex on the other side of the street."

Quote: "The vehicle was towing a Jeep Wrangler, which became stuck in the first unit that the motorhome smashed through..."

Note: Tire rubber and brake pads are absorbing hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, more heat than normal is generated, since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. Then bad things can happen: tires ignite or explode, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This affects massive vehicles the most - like large RVs with tow vehicles, as in this case - because they require more brake-friction to slow and also tend to have more tires. This was a lot of mass here: a 40-foot RV, plus a towed Jeep, plus 10 people, plus probably lots of stuff to accomodate 10 people...

Quote: "For whatever reason, the driver lost control of the truck, crossed the westbound lanes, went into a ravine near Glaze Road, struck a tree and burst into flames. A passerby saw the truck on fire and called 911."

Note: I call this the 'standard model' for vehicular accidents these days. Vehicle veers off road, hits tree, bursts into flame, usually with fatalities. Drivers are probably being knocked unconscious by hydrogen sulfide as they drive. It's also a highly flammable gas, so that makes fires more likely too...

2013-05-22 - Passenger bus slams into nine vehicles, in Thakkarbapanagar (India), several injured:

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Bus-smashes-into-nine-vehicles/articleshow/20218758.cms

Quote: "Early on Wednesday morning, a team of forensic science laboratory evaluated the bus and found that the brakes had failed and that the driver must have lost control after that."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is being absorbed into tires and brake pads. Then when brakes are applied, the heat generated is abnormally hot, because hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. Then bad things can happen: tires ignite or explode, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This affects massive vehicles the most because they require the most brake-friction to slow and they also tend to have the most tires. That means the vehicles most vulnerable to this problem are large RVs, buses, car-hauler trucks, tractor trailers, tanker trucks, dump trucks, log trucks, garbage trucks, that sort of thing. This problem does affect smaller vehicles too - no vehicle is immune - but less so, simply because they have much less mass...

Quote: "The driver of the truck, a young woman, told firefighters she was not injured and does not remember the accident."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide can cause unconsciousness and memory loss. If she got a whiff while driving then she might very well not remember anything. Also, the full effects of hydrogen sulfide poisoning can be delayed for minutes, hours, even days. This woman may have blood vessels rupturing in her brain right now and she could drop dead within a week, but even if she does, we'll never hear about that, because it will look like 'natural causes'...

Quote: "Sparks could be seen coming from beneath the car as Manchester firefighters doused the flames. Officials said it's unclear what caused the car to start moving."

Quote: "The car's owner, John Green, of Deering, said he had the keys on him and had set the parking brake."

Note: I bet it was already burning, or at least smoldering, before it took off and hit those two pickups. This is the sixth incident involving vehicles starting themselves, that I know of. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like wiring in vehicles. So a little insulation burns off, wires touch each other, vehicle starts up...

2013-05-15 - Passenger plane skids off runway into the Kaligandaki River (Nepal), 21 injured (4 critically):

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VI-20130516-39262-NPL
http://news.sky.com/story/1091732/nepal-plane-crash-four-critical-in-runway-smash

 

Quote: "One of the wheels of the plane had problem while landing. The plane skidded off the runway and fell into the Kaligandaki River flowing alongside..."

 

Note: From the full hypothesis: "As planes land, they will more frequently blow tires, or their landing gear will collapse, or they will run off runways." A plane just ran off the runway in McMinnville (Oregon) too, as mentioned in the 2013-05-13 update.

 

Hydrogen sulfide is being absorbed by tire rubber. Then when brakes are applied, the brake-friction generates more heat than normal, since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. Then bad things can happen: tires explode or ignite, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. With planes what usually happens is one or more tires blow or the brakes burn out. When the tires blow, if it's a small plane, then the strut digs into the ground and the landing gear collapses. When the brakes burn out then you get planes running off the runway. This usually happens after landing - as in this case - because that's when planes generally hit their brakes hardest...

Quote: "There was an earlier semi on fire in the same area that backed traffic up. No word on whether or not that semi fire caused this crash."

Note: Mentioned the semi fire in the fires and explosions section. Could all be related. First semi bursts into flame, traffic backs up, cars stop. Another semi comes along, tries to brake, but his tires are contaminated with hydrogen sulfide and his brakes burn out so he can't stop and hits the cars, killing the two women in them. That's certainly a possible scenario there...

Quote: "A huge piece of the truck’s gas tank was blown 50 yards by the force of the blast, landing atop the wall of a house and cars parked outside. Charred wreckage of cars littered the blast site."

Quote: "Hundreds of police, ambulance drivers, paramedics, soldiers and firefighters gathered at the scene, where a giant plume of smoke rose over the area after the explosion around 5 a.m. Tuesday local time."

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

http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Small-Plane-Goes-Off-Runway-at-Meacham-Airport-206338151.html

Quote: "For right now, all they know is it looks like an issue with the landing gear..."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is being absorbed into tire rubber. Then when brakes are applied, the brake-friction generates more heat that normal and then bad things can happen: tires ignite or explode, brakes burn out up ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. With planes what usually happens is they land, hit the brakes, and then one or more tires blow. With small planes - which don't have lots of extra redundant wheels like big planes do - the tire explodes then the landing gear strut hits the ground and collapses. Sometimes, if it's the nose gear and it's a small plane, the plane flips over...
