Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: 2013 - JUN

http://www.abc-7.com/story/22726946/dozens-of-cars-catch-fire-in-fort-myers

Quote: "A crane was actually brought in to separate the stack of flaming cars to try and put out the fire."

Note: Now there's a phrase you don't hear very often: 'stack of flaming cars'...

2013-06-30 - Construction trailer used as residence explodes in Dinwiddie County (Virginia), 1 killed:

2013-06-30 - Massive blaze breaks out at biofuel warehouse in Bulphan (Britain):
http://www.yourthurrock.com/2013/06/30/massive-fire-at-bulphan-biofuel-warehouse/

Quote: "Fire fighters have been called to a large pile of rubbish alight which is effecting a warehouse containing biofuel products. Update: 12:15hrs: Crews report that a single storey warehouse containing wood chips and cylinders is 100 percent alight, the property measures approximately 60 x 30 metres."

2013-06-30 - Explosion and fire hit recycling center in Suffolk (Britain):
http://www.eadt.co.uk/news/sudbury_explosion_heard_during_fire_at_recycling_centre_1_2257559

Quote: "Firefighters were mobilised after reports of an explosion at a recycling centre in west Suffolk."

Quote: "A large scrap steel container was ablaze close to six self-contained factory units."

Note: So another pile of scrap iron/steel bursting into flame. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel. Nothing else adequately explains fires like this, where scrap iron/steel catches fire. This chemical reaction is what is probably behind many porch fires, fence fires, deck fires, gazebo fires, pallet fires, etc - they're often held together with steel nails, which rust, and they're outside, fully exposed to any hydrogen sulfide that blows by...

Quote: "Nine firefighters have been treated for injuries by ambulance crews - with three taken to hospital as a precaution - after tackling a blaze involving 50,000 tonnes of paper and plastic at a recycling plant in Smethwick in the West Midlands. Air travel over an area around Birmingham might be affected by a smoke plume rising 6,000 feet into the air..."

2013-06-30 - Van bursts into flame while parked at apartments in Louisville (Kentucky), nearby apartment burns too:
http://www.wdrb.com/story/22725274/fire-crews-respond-to-blaze-behind-fire-station

Note: The van and the apartment burned in the same general locale, but one didn't cause the other. That doesn't mean that there wasn't a common cause behind both fires though, like a flammable gas plume blowing through the area and igniting the van AND the apartment...

2013-06-30 - Car backfires, porch ignites, fire spreads to home, in Kansas City (Missouri):
http://www.kmbc.com/news/kansas-city/backfiring-car-blamed-in-platte-county-house-fire/-/11664182/20776580/-/8w0unbz/-/index.html

Note: The wood of the porch may have been saturated with methane and hydrogen sulfide, blowing in off the nearby Missouri and Kansas Rivers, then the heat of the backfire was the ignition source. Lots of porches and fences and decks are probably like that now, the wood contaminated, just waiting for the tiniest spark from any source. Eventually the wood will just spontaneously combust from the heat of the day if something else (like rusty iron/steel or electrified copper) doesn't ignite it first...

Note: Another town with a vacant-buildings-burning problem? Shocking, I tells ya, shocking! And the fires may very well be related, though not in the way he might think...

2013-06-29 - RV bursts into flame at 4 AM while parked at home in East Wenatchee (Washington), fire mostly destroys home too:

http://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/2013/jun/29/fire-destroys-eastside-motorhome-and-residence/

Note: Vehicles need not be running to burst into flame now. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like battery cables and other wiring in vehicles. It's also reactive with rusty iron/steel and any vehicle that isn't absolutely brand new is gonna have some of that. So think of vehicles as randomly self-igniting incendiary devices that will eventually burn what's near them. If there was a package labeled 'Randomly Self-Igniting Incendiary Device', would you open the package, remove the device, and lay it next to your house? Well, that's what vehicles are now...

2013-06-29 - In separate incidents, passenger bus and car burst into flame in coastal Kuwait City (Kuwait):
http://www.arabtimesonline.com/NewsDetails/tabid/96/smid/414/ArticleID/197779/reftab/36/Default.aspx
http://www.menafn.com/1093674666/Kuwait-Man-escapes-death-as-fire-engulfs-vehicle

Quote: "A young man narrowly escaped death when fire broke out in his car in front of the Central Prison. Firefighters from Al-Ardiya Fire Station rushed to the location after the Operations Room received information on the incident. They extinguished the fire in record time, while the paramedics took the driver, an unidentified young man, to Sabah Hospital as he lost consciousness due to the thick smoke that surrounded the vehicle. Meanwhile, Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh firefighters doused fire that engulfed a bus in the area."

Note: So two vehicles burst into flame, same general timeframe, same general area. That's a possible sign of a flammable gas plume blowing through the area, igniting here and there as it goes. Also, Kuwait City residents were told to shelter in place because of hydrogen sulfide late last year, as mentioned in the 2012-10-17 update. That was the first time any major metropolitan area had ever been told to shelter in place because of hydrogen sulfide...

http://www.wbng.com/news/local/Fire-breaks-out-in-downtown-Binghamton--213728121.html

Note: Mattresses are much like pallets in terms of their vulnerability to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem. Instead of iron/steel nails like pallets have, mattresses have springs. Instead of flammable wood, they have flammable cloth and padding. So it's probably not any wiser to keep mattresses laying around than it is to keep pallets laying around, especially outside...

http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/267188/group/homepage/

Note: It was fireworks to be used for the 4th of July. Speaking of which, hmmm, increasingly flammable atmosphere combined with lots of people playing around with incendiary stuff. Well, expect the worst and hope for the best, to paraphrase the saying. Also...this is at least the third fireworks-related explosion/fire recently. The biggest recent such event was when a massive explosion and fire tore through a fireworks factory in Montreal (Canada), killing 2 people, mentioned in the 2013-06-20 update. Another fireworks factory burned and exploded a few days ago too, in Billings (Montana), as mentioned in the 2013-06-25 update. That's not including the explosions and fires at ammo depots. From the full hypothesis: "Ammo depots will be hit with explosions and fires, including the civilian versions like fireworks factories."

2013-06-28 - Fire breaks out for 7th time since February at Forest Place apartments in Little Rock (Arkansas):
http://arkansasmatters.com/fulltext?nxd_id=675472

Quote: "This complex has seen a series of fires, particularly the fire last month that displaced 130 tenants and left $4-million in damage. We found some tenants who say they're fed up with the fires, so they're moving out. They hold management responsible."

Note: These apartments are about 1 mile from the Arkansas River. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas, so it will accumulate in low-lying areas, which means areas where water also accumulates, like rivers and river valleys. So hydrogen sulfide is probably accumulating along the river when the wind isn't blowing, then when the wind picks up, whatever has accumulated blows onward, possibly hitting this apartment complex over and over, slowly absorbing into wood, cardboard, paper, etc, until eventually fire breaks out. So these residents are wise to move. They can keep putting out the fires, but there will be more fires, because putting out a fire does nothing to address any vulnerabilities to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem...

Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will seek out low-lying areas like basements and underground facilities, and it is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper like wiring in electrical facilities, vehicles, homes and businesses...

Note: So trash bursting into flame and vehicles exploding in the underground parking area at this place. Well, that isn't unexpected. This is the absorbent flammable material problem and the electrified copper problem...

Note: They mention arson, but apparently have no evidence of such, no witnesses, no surveillance footage, nothin'. So they're assuming. Yet this is what you'd expect to see as a decent-sized flammable gas plume blows through an area. So, they need to cough up some actual evidence of PEOPLE being involved here, cuz I'm not going to just assume there were. I'll leave the assumptions and the jumping to conclusions to the professionals...

2013-06-26 - Underground electrical fire erupts in downtown Memphis (Tennessee), flames shoot 20 feet into the air:

http://www.myfoxmemphis.com/story/22699525/transformer-fire-at-exchange-building-in-downtown-memphis
http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2013/jun/26/mlgw-repairing-cable-fault-in-downtown-memphis/
http://wreg.com/2013/06/26/transformer-on-fire-at-second-street-intersection/

Quote: "Memphis police says an underground transformer caught fire, sending flames about two stories high."

Note: Underground explosions and fire just hit downtown St. Louis (Missouri) and an underground electrical fire just hit Oakland (Pennsylvania) too, as mentioned in the 2013-06-25 update. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas which will tend to accumulate in low-lying areas like underground electrical facilities, basements, ditches, ravines, valleys, gorges, quays, ponds, lakes, seas, streams, rivers, creeks, etc. Hydrogen sulfide is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like underground electrical cables, transformers, and wiring in vehicles, homes and businesses. Events just like this are escalating rapidly now...

Note: And yet another home explodes and burns. Home explosions are clearly escalating, as would be expected of an atmosphere being increasingly contaminated by flammable gases. The last home to explode was waaaay back in...the day prior, in coastal Yarmouth (Maine), as mentioned in the 2013-06-25 update. That explosion killed a man and injured others...

2013-06-26 - Electrical fire erupts at 1:30 AM at Big Creek Water Reclamation Plant in Roswell (Georgia):
http://www.11alive.com/rss/article/296865/3/Small-fire-at-Roswell-water-treatment-plant

Quote: "They found a small electrical fire inside some insulation near a sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) tank."

Note: Not a major fire, but an interesting one. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. It's also reactive with sodium hydroxide. The fact that there's sodium hydroxide at a water treatment plant makes me wonder if that's one tactic that the government is using to try to keep our municipal water supplies from being poisoned. Since hydrogen sulfide is reactive with sodium hydroxide, what happens if you add sodium hydroxide to the water and then some hydrogen sulfide lands on the water and gets absorbed by it? Does the chemical reaction eliminate the hydrogen sulfide from the water? It just might...

Quote: "Battalion Chief Burke Kremensky said witnesses reported that the man was smoking on his back porch when for some unknown reason there was a flash and the fire started. The point of origin, he said, was near the electrical panel on the porch."

Note: Just like all the underground electrical fires. Some hydrogen sulfide, probably mixed with some methane, blew up onto that porch and found that exterior electrical outlet - electrified copper - and a spark was generated, which caused the 'flash fire' and burned that man. He's lucky the gas didn't blow onto HIM and flash right in his face as he smoked, else he might be dead now...

Quote: "Several hundred people were evacuated from the 36-story One US Bank Plaza building after explosions occurred in the street outside just before 5 p.m. No injuries were reported. The blaze sent fireballs and thick black smoke shooting from the street."

Quote: "Authorities say several electrical transformers in the underground vaults exploded near 7th Street and Locust shortly after 5 p.m."

Quote: "Occasional fireballs shot out from a hole in the pavement Tuesday evening as firefighters battled flames that appeared to come from underground."

Note: This area is very close to the Mississippi River, in the heart of downtown St. Louis. There have been many underground electrical fires and explosions in the last year or so, and particularly in the last 3 months or so. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas which will seek out low-lying areas like basements, underground infrastructure, rivers, valleys, ditches, gorges, canyons, etc. It is also highly flammable and it is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper like that used in underground electrical vaults as well as wiring in vehicles, homes and businesses...

2013-06-21 - Underground electrical explosions and fire hit coastal Redondo Beach (California):

http://www.dailybreeze.com/news/ci_23516259/officials-quest-power-outage-answers-from-edison-follows

Quote: "Suddenly, she heard a loud explosion and ran over to the window to find smoke billowing out of a crumbled sidewalk across the street. Thinking it was a bomb, she stepped away from the glass and called 911. Then a second explosion rocked her building. 'It shook my entire house. I thought my windows were going to break,' she said."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and it will seek out low-lying areas like basements, underground facilities, canyons, valleys, gorges, ditches, ravines, bodies of water of all kinds, etc. It is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that used in electrical infrastructure as well as wiring in vehicles, homes, businesses. Lots of non-running vehicles have been bursting into flame. It's the same problem as with all these underground electrical fires and explosions. Might wanna keep some LED lights, rechargeable batteries and solar chargers around, just in case you should suddenly lose power for an extended period...

Ahead, look for pockets of congestion from Hwy. 10 to 694, but it's not as bad as usual. Another car fire is in progress on southbound 35W at County Road 42 in Burnsville."

http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20130621/ARTICLES/130629857/1033/news?Title=Firefighters-douse-Roseland-brush-fire

Quote: "The 3:55 p.m. fire started in an RV parked on the property, once a junkyard, behind a row of single-story Dutton Avenue homes..."

Quote: "The fire came within yards of several homes and destroyed Barrow's chicken coop, which was empty."

Note: Close call there for those homes. The RV was unoccupied at the time. Vehicles need not be running to burst into flame now. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like battery cables and other wiring in vehicles, and it's also reactive with rusty iron/steel, and most vehicles have some of that on their undersides...

http://www.wisconsinrapidstribune.com/article/20130621/WRT01/306210274/Woman-escapes-early-morning-car-fire

Quote: "When the vehicle ignited, the doors were locked, and the driver had to crawl out through a window, Young said. 'She was very lucky,' he said."

Note: I've mentioned this problem before. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like battery cables and other wiring in vehicles. So when that's the cause of a vehicle fire, power windows and locks may stop working and then what? If your windows are rolled up, you have to break them and that's not very easy, especially when you're probably freaking out and being burned. I suspect this problem is the cause of at least some of the people being found burned to death in their vehicles - they can't escape before suffocation from the gas and/or smoke knocks them unconscious or fire incinerates them. This lady probably had her window(s) down already, else she'd likely be dead...

Note: All flammable absorbent materials are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting, including wood, cardboard, paper, mulch, dried brush, generic trash, hay, straw, clothing, tires, etc. Hydrogen sulfide is also a heaver-than-air gas and will seek out basements once the gas infiltrates a building...

Note: Same type of event as all the recent underground electrical fires and explosions. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will seek out low-lying areas like basements and underground facilities, and it is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper...

Note: They found one of the tires on fire, so they're assuming arson. Umm, well, I dunno, could be, but there've been a lot of tire recycling facilities catching fire lately. Tires have been absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane for a while, causing problems when brakes are applied, due to excessive heat. It could be getting bad enough that even tires mounted on vehicles (e.g. only exposed to the atmosphere on the outer surface) are now simply spontaneously combusting here and there. If that's the case then this problem is certain to get worse and the Driving Era is about to come to an end. I'm gonna hope this really was arson, but I have doubts about that, in no small part because they don't mention any evidence at all of people being involved here...

http://www.fox19.com/story/22640778/car-ablaze-hamilton-co-police-search-for-answers

Quote: "Fire investigators believe that the flames may have been started by an accelerant."

Note: Yes, indeed, likely so. Both hydrogen sulfide and methane are highly flammable, which makes them accelerants. They suspect arsonists, of course, because an accelerant was involved, but with an atmosphere increasingly contaminated by accelerants, no PEOPLE are required at all for these fires. The same thing happened in Norwich (Vermont), where three police cars were incinerated, as mentioned in the 2012-11-22 update. Initially police assumed that was the work of arsonists too, because they detected an accelerant was involved. They retracted the arson assumption though, and I would guess that was because police stations do usually have surveillance cameras and they SAW those cars simply burst into flame, or more likely, one of them burst into flame and the fire spread to the other two. This is why I don't take their arson assumptions too seriously anymore - they probably don't know what's going on in many cases, so they're obviously jumping to conclusions...

http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/jun/19/syria-state-tv-says-explosion-hits-military-depot/
http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/world/six-injured-in-explosion-at-syrian-military-depot/article4830036.ece

Quote: "Syrian state television says an accidental explosion at a military depot outside the northwestern coastal city of Latakia has left six people lightly injured. It says a 'technical error' caused the Wednesday explosion at a military corps of engineers unit. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a number of activists on the ground, said at least 13 soldiers were injured."

Note: And an ammo depot was devastated by explosions and fire in Russia the day prior, as mentioned in the 2013-06-18 update...

Quote: "According to Gonzalez, the mobile home in which Mr. Muñiz and his wife resided burned to the ground following the fire that Mr. Muñiz believes to have been ignited by an explosion caused by the home’s water heater."

Note: Indeed, water heaters are often going to be the ignition source for any accumulated hydrogen sulfide or methane, because they have a pilot light, and they're often located in basements. Also mentioned in this story was a semi that burst into flame and a warehouse that burned, which they are assuming was arson. They're not aware of the problem we face or they would not be so quick to make such assumptions...

Quote: "Higgins said the man was asleep and was awakened by a popping sound."

Note: There's that popping sound again, heard before a great many fires this past year or so. That's likely hydrogen sulfide and/or methane finding an ignition source (electrified copper like battery cables, rusty iron/steel, heat) and igniting, causing a small explosion then fire. When the explosions are larger then they sound like gunfire or fireworks and may be mistaken for either. When they're REALLY large then they shake homes for miles around; those mysterious 'boom sounds' - often accompanied by a 'flash of light' - that have been occurring all around the world the last couple of years...

http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/local-news/severe-delays-on-m62-after-fire-1-5781035

Quote: "An investigation into the cause of the blaze is underway but firefighters believe it may have been caused by overheating brakes."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Massive vehicles such as big RVs, buses, tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and car-haulers will be destroyed by fire in escalating numbers after tires or brakes ignite." This problem is caused by tire rubber and brake pads absorbing hydrogen sulfide, which burns very hot. When brakes are applied, the abnormal amount of heat causes problems: tires ignite or explode, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. Massive vehicles require the most brake-friction to slow and also tend to have more tires and bigger brake pads so the problem affects them more, though no vehicle is immune...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/19/explosions-russian-fire-military-depot

Quote: "Multiple artillery shells keep exploding at an ammunition depot near the city of Chapaevsk, a local police spokesman told RIA. 'It is still not possible to halt the self-destruction, or to enter the firing grounds,' he added, saying that the shell shards are scattering in such a large area that there is no way the fire brigade could reach and extinguish the fire. According to the Chief Directorate of the Interior Ministry for Samara Region spokesman Sergey Goldstein, there are '13 million shell units' at the ammunition depot, Interfax reports."

Quote: "The Emergencies Ministry said about 30 people had sought medical help and 11 of them were hospitalized, while more than 6,000 people were evacuated from the village of Nagorny. More than 600 emergency workers were trying to put out the fire..."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Ammo depots will be hit with explosions and fires, including the civilian versions like fireworks factories."

I mentioned these types of facilities specifically because they have all the same vulnerabilities as any business, like the rusty iron/steel problem, the electrified copper problem, the flammable absorbent material problem, but some such facilities also store chemicals reactive with hydrogen sulfide, in particular nitric acid, which is used as a catalyst for rocket fuel, and nitric acid is explosively reactive with gaseous hydrogen sulfide. So a little hydrogen sulfide finds some nitric acid (or rusty iron/steel, or electrified copper) and a fire erupts, and then you ALSO have oodles of explosives around, so once a fire gets going at a place like this, it's apt to spiral out of control very quickly, and the consequences can be horrendous...

Quote: "One of the manhole covers even flew over a wall, fire crews were told when they were called to Royd House Lane. And the force of the blast could be heard three miles away in Scapegoat Hill."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and it will seek out low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, bodies of water, valleys, canyons, ravines, ditches, etc. It's also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in vehicles and underground electrical facilities. It's also reactive with rusty iron/steel, like many gas lines. Biogenic sulfide corrosion will also eat away at steel and concrete, making gas leaks more common, resulting in more gas explosions and fires...

Note: There've been numerous major explosions in Louisiana in recent times. That's not too surprising considering the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and its horrible dead zones, which are surely pluming deadly and highly flammable hydrogen sulfide now. There are also methane hydrate deposits in the Gulf of Mexico and I would be very surprised if they haven't begun to dissociate just as have those in the Arctic and off the US East Coast...

2013-06-18 - Another hardware store heavily damaged by fire, this time in Joppa (Maryland):
http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2013/06/18/harford-county-firefighters-battle-fire-at-joppa-hardware-store/
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/harford/fallston-joppa/ph-ag-anderson-hardware-fire-0619-20130618,0,1207521.story
http://www.wbaltv.com/news/maryland/harford-county/crews-battle-joppa-store-fire/-/10635956/20621882/-/m3g1v0/-/index.html

Note: Hardware stores have many vulnerabiities to the atmnospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem. They have copper wiring (electrified and not), they often store lumber, they have batteries and battery cables and combustion engines (chainsaws, lawnmowers, etc), they probably have some rusty iron/steel around, air-conditioners, cardboard, pallets, and on and on. An iconic hardware store was just destroyed by fire in coastal Washington DC recently too, as mentioned in the 2013-06-06 update...

2013-06-18 - Trash can bursts into flame at home on Hough Green in Widnes (Britain):
http://www.cheshirefire.gov.uk/news-events/incidents/widnes-wheelie-bin-fire_19-06-2013_8-41-26

Note: Not a huge fire, just showing it because lots of trash cans have been bursting into flame. Trash is usually filled with absorbent flammable materials and all such materials are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously comnbusting, including wood, cardboard, paper, dried brush, mulch, generic trash, hay, straw, clothing, cotton, wool, etc. So any kind of open-top dumpster or trash can is potentially a fire waiting to happen. They're much safer if they have lids. 'Dumpster-diving' may cause problems too, like you catching on fire, like the man who burst into flame at a dumpster outside a 7-11 in Provo (Utah), as mentioned in the 2013-02-11 update. I suspect he was 'dumpster-diving' and his clothes had become contaminated from contact with contaminated trash and then a cig or some static electricity ignited him...

Quote: "Three tractor-trailers collided on Interstate 78 in Berks County on Monday afternoon in a chain-reaction that started as two of the big rigs slowed for a bus fire, police said."

Note: The story is actually about a chain-reaction crash of three tractor trailers, but that crash happened because two of the tractor trailers slowed down for a bus fire. I looked and couldn't find any story about the bus fire (which is itself odd), other than indirectly, in stories about this multi-semi accident. What, buses bursting into flame on our highways aren't newsworthy anymore?!

2013-06-17 - Reclining chair bursts into flame at home in coastal Quincy Point (Massachusetts), 2 injured:
http://www.patriotledger.com/news/x1213258937/Two-people-hurt-in-Quincy-Point-fire

Note: The residents tossed the chair out the window and it then caught the porch roof on fire. This area is the part of Quincy (Massachusetts) closest to the ocean and this home is about 1000 feet from the ocean. Quincy is where a 'rotten egg' smell is rolling in off the ocean, as mentioned in the 2013-05-09 update. A mysterious plane has been buzzing the city at night too, as mentioned in the 2013-05-10 update...

http://lmtribune.com/northwest/article_b3afc21d-84d7-54b4-b7ca-83478c720c87.html

Quote: "Debra Slaybaugh was on her couch reading early Monday afternoon when she heard a loud pop on her front porch."

Note: There's that popping sound again, heard right before many fires this past year or so. That's probably the sound of a smallish hydrogen sulfide and/or methane plume finding an ignition source and igniting. This was her porch so there may have been numerous possible ignition sources: copper wiring to porch light or doorbell, rusted iron/steel in nails or screws or hinges or BBQ grill, the heat from a porch light, a rusty railing, etc. Asotin lies along the banks of the Snake River...

2013-06-17 - Fire erupts at porch light at 6:30 AM, fire spreads, mobile home damaged, in Clark County (Kentucky):
http://www.lex18.com/news/fire-damages-clark-county-mobile-home/

Note: I mentioned the porch light problem a while back. It's the same problem as all the underground fires and utility pole fires and non-running vehicle fires: hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. That means wiring for doorbells and exterior lights - if any copper is exposed to the atmosphere, fire can break out. These fires probably start small in most cases, with some sizzling and sparking, but often no one is around to notice until the fire has grown...

2013-06-17 - Vacant textile mill heavily damaged by fire in Lincolnton (North Carolina):

http://www.wsoctv.com/news/news/local/firefighters-scene-massive-cotton-mill-fire/nYNMJ/

Note: Mills are virtually always built near bodies of flowing water, to provide free energy for millwork, and yep, after looking, there's a creek or stream near there. In fact, I have yet to find a fire involving a mill that hasn't been near a creek or stream, and I've probably checked many dozens if not hundreds of such fires by now...

2013-06-16 - Underground explosions triple year-over-year from 2011 to 2012 in coastal London (Britain):

http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/deadly-exploding-pavements-pose-new-threat-to-londoners
http://metro.co.uk/2013/06/17/londoners-lives-at-risk-due-to-increasing-number-of-exploding-pavements-3844642/

Quote: "As if living in London did not carry enough daily peril, residents of the capital now have one more bizarre danger to add to the list – exploding pavements. Figures obtained by the BBC show that underground explosions, such as the one filmed in Pimlico in April this year, tripled between 2011 and 2012. The blasts can be caused by water leaking onto underground cables or gas leaks ignited by underground sparks. There were 29 incidents in 2012 and 12 so far this year. This is a surge from just eight in 2011."

Note: That's more than a 200% increase year-over-year, from 8 in 2011 to 29 in 2012. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas which will seek out low-lying areas like subways and underground infrastructure. It is also highly flammable and reactive with rusty iron/steel (pipes) and copper, especially electrified copper (electrical stuff). This same problem is almost certainly the reason that both New York City and London are performing tests to see where poison gas would go once inside their respective subway systems. (London subway gas test mentioned in the 2013-06-14 update. NYC subway gas test mentioned in the 2013-04-26 update.)

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."

http://www.wthr.com/story/22600382/crews-fight-storage-facility-fire-on-indianapolis-southwest-side

Quote: "A massive business fire that burned for roughly nine hours Saturday has been marked under control. At one point nearly 200 firefighters were at the scene battling the Indianapolis southwest side Saturday afternoon. The fire occurred at a recycling center at 202 S. Belmont Ave."

Quote: "It's estimated that around 85,000 square feet of pallets, 60,000 square feet of tires and 15 propane tanks are inside the building."

Note: There have been numerous pallet-related fires in the last year or so, some downright monstrous. Pallets have a number of vulnerabilities to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem: 1) they're made of wood and all flammable absorbent materials are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane, including wood, cardboard, paper, mulch, dried brush, generic trash, hay, straw, clothes, cotton, wool, etc; 2) they're held together with steel nails or screws, which rust, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel; 3) they're often stored outside where they are fully exposed to any hydrogen sulfide or methane blowing through. (The latter is not the case with this particular fire, but warehouses are generally not very airtight and often have large bays for loading/unloading trucks.)

Quote: "Witnesses told Fox 5 News that a nearby building shook shook from the blast."

Note: And yet another underground electrical explosion. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas which will seek out low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, quays, valleys, canyons, gorges, ravines, ditches, etc. It is also extremely flammable and it is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in underground electrical facilities, battery cables, the wiring in vehicles, homes, businesses, etc. The number of underground electrical explosions has been steadily escalating...

2013-06-15 - Mysterious boom reported around Mitchell (South Dakota), near Lake Mitchell:
http://www.mitchellrepublic.com/event/article/id/80665/group/homepage/

Quote: "Davison County Chief Deputy Steve Harr heard dispatchers discuss calls they received about a big boom. He heard reports of people who heard it in Mitchell, Mount Vernon and five miles northwest of Mount Vernon. 'This was a first for me,' Harr said."

Note: The writers of the story have some powerful Normalcy Bias and work very hard to convince you - or perhaps themselves - that this was a military plane's sonic boom. At 11 PM, over populated areas? The Chief Deputy there says it's a first, so whatever this was, it was not anything routine. It was probably a hydrogen sulfide and/or methane plume finding an ignition source and exploding, but we'll never know for sure...

Quote: "The caller reportedly said a car ignited in flames and then drove into a occupied home."

Note: Supposedly the driver was shot and that caused him to crash. Did anyone see a shooter, or did they just hear a 'pop' that sounded like gunfire? Because a gas plume igniting might sound just like gunfire, and would also explain the car bursting into flame. There have been lots of 'popping sounds' heard just before fires this past year or so. Of course, this WAS Detroit, so shootings aren't exactly unheard of either...

Note: What do rooftop ventilation systems do? They move the atmosphere around. How are they powered? With electricity. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. A 'flash fire' in the ventilation system at the State Department in coastal Washington DC injured 3 people late last year, as mentioned in the 2012-11-24 update. That's when I realized there was going to be a problem with ventilation systems, so I started looking for more fires involving ventilation systems then, and I found them - they're happening, at schools, businesses, homes...

Note: This same home burned two days prior too. They said it was an 'electrical problem' then, and now they say that fire and this one were arson. They don't actually provide any evidence of that though. They were probably closer to the truth with their original story, before they changed it, since hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, so fires that are caused by that reaction will look exactly like an electrical fire of some kind. Also, putting out a fire does nothing to make a building any safer from the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem, so buildings have been burning multiple times with some regularity over the last year or so...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas, it is highly flammable, and it is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in underground electrical infrastructure. There have been many such events just like this, especially in the last three months or so, in towns and cities all over. I mentioned awhile back that you might wanna be careful about parking or even walking near manholes or grates because of this problem. That's apparently how the man got injured, by the grate. Cars have also ignited from the flames coming from manholes in other such events...

Quote: "A ground-rattling explosion at a chemical plant in Louisiana ignited a blaze that killed at least one person and injured dozens of others. Louisiana's health department says 73 people were treated at hospitals for injuries ranging from minor to critical following the Thursday morning explosion."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "...chemical plants of all types will burn and/or explode, including biofuels plants, fertilizer plants, specialty chemical plants, petroleum-related facilities and more." The huge explosion in West (Texas) in April was at a fertilizer plant, which is simply a type of chemical plant. Geismar is located right on the banks of the Mississippi River...

http://www.khou.com/news/local/Florida-mother-daughter-stranded-in-Houston-211505481.html

Quote: "The bus caught on fire on I-12 near Hammond, Louisiana in the wee hours of the morning. 'We woke up to a big loud boom and then about 30 seconds later another boom,' Holly added, 'but it wasn't quite as loud.' Moments after the bus stopped, Samantha Koch said she looked out the window and saw fire."

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...

What they saw was a large amount of smoke billowing from the fourth storey of the neighbouring multi-storey carpark. The smoke came from a car on fire on that storey."

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/man-burned-as-bike-garage-catches-fire-20130613-2o5ex.html

Quote: "A Metropolitan Fire Brigade spokeswoman said a 44-year-old man had fallen in a small shed at the rear of the property but awoke to find the shack involved in fire."

Note: Hmmm, did he get knocked unconscious by hydrogen sulfide, which then found some electrified copper and started a fire? They say he AWOKE, so he had lost consciousness for sure, then regained consciousness to find the place on fire. This is probably why people are being found dead in burned-out cars: hydrogen sulfide is not only extremely flammable and reactive with electrified copper like battery cables and other wiring in vehicles, it is also deadly, and can knock you unconscious or dead with one breath. So a cloud blows over someone in a car, they pass out, the car ignites, and the people in the car burn to death, if they're not already dead. There was that story around New Years, where an engaged couple burned to death in their car on the way home, in McFarland (Wisconsin), near Madison, as mentioned in the 2013-01-01 update. They didn't even try to get out of the car. That's because they were probably unconscious at the time, so they just sat there and burned to death...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. This city is on Florida's Gulf Coast, the first part of Florida to get hit by any hydrogen sulfide coming from the dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico. There have been many mysterious deaths in this area as well, which isn't at all surprising since hydrogen sulfide is as deadly as it is flammable...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper like that found in underground electrical facilities and in vehicles, homes, and businesses. It's also a heavier-than-air gas which will tend to accumulate in low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, ditches, ravines, gorges, lakes, ponds, seas, valleys, canyons, quays, swimming pools, etc. There have been numerous underground fires and explosions just like this, especially in the last year, and most especially in the last, say, three months. Might wanna keep some solar chargers, rechargeable batteries and LED flashlights handy, so that you can have light at night if the power goes out, without using fire or heat to generate that light...

2013-06-11 - Vacant home burns in Nitro (West Virginia), another in spate of fires at vacant buildings:
http://www.dailymail.com/policebrfs/201306110125

Quote: "Sigman said most of the vacant houses he's seen burn over the last six months have been arsons. 'They were definite arsons,' he said. 'There's no power to the house and no one is supposed to be inside; you would logically assume it to be arson.'"

Note: Well, to be fair, you would only 'logically assume it to be arson' if you were ignorant of the atmospheric problem confronting us. Also, I thought investigators were trained not to make assumptions. I guess they just don't make investigators like they used to, back when they were, you know, competent...

2013-06-10 - Underground explosion and fire injures 2 workers in Lake Forest (California), near the coast:

http://www.swrnn.com/2013/06/10/lake-forest-underground-explosion-injures-two-utility-workers/

Note: And yet another underground explosion and fire, again involving electricity. Hydrogen sulfide is highly flammable and it is a heavier-than-air gas which will seek out low-lying areas like underground facilities and basements. It's also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in underground electrical facilities as well as battery cables in vehicles and wiring in vehicles, homes, businesses and electrical infrastructure. As a consequence, there have been numerous explosions and fires just like this one, in cities and towns all over. In some cases, fire spewing from manholes has ignited cars parked above them...

2013-06-10 - Mysterious explosion sound rattles doors at homes in Aberdeen (Maryland), near the coast:
http://aberdeen.patch.com/articles/what-was-that-boom-monday-night-june-10-2013

Quote: "Residents in Aberdeen and Havre de Grace were puzzled by an extraordinary boom around 10:15 p.m. Monday."

Note: These mysterious explosions are happening with increasing frequency. These are very likely atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and/or methane plumes finding an ignition source and detonating. Eventually these explosions are going to decimate towns and large portions of cities and may very well end up matching the destructive force of small thermonuclear explosions like that which destroyed Hiroshima, but minus the radiation...

2013-06-10 - Gas explosion hits biomass plant in coastal Trang Province (Thailand), 2 killed:
http://www.3news.co.nz/NZer-dies-in-Thai-gas-explosion/tabid/417/articleID/300964/Default.aspx

Quote: "A New Zealand engineer and a Thai man have been killed trying to rescue a couple who passed out due to a gas leak at a biomass power plant in southern Thailand. Police said the two perished at the plant in Trang province, 680km south of Bangkok, as they tried to reach the couple inside a three-storey ventilation chimney on Monday. Police Lieutenant Chalongchai Chapan told the Bangkok Post the accident happened shortly after midnight (local time) when the husband and wife passed out from toxic gas believed to be ammonia."

Note: Two people fell unconscious from 'toxic gas'. Two other people went to help them and died. They say the gas is thought to have been ammonia. This looks suspiciously like a standard hydrogen sulfide poisoning event, where someone succumbs then others go to help and they succumb too. The original two people were rescued by other employees; it's the two who went to save them that died. The story is vague here, and I'm not sure there was an actual explosion per se, but rather a release of gas of some kind...

2014-06-10 - Sewer gas explosion and flash fire erupts in coastal Melbourne (Australia), 2 injured:
http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/melbourne-workers-caught-sewer-leak-flash-fire/nYHK6/

Quote: "WFTV learned the victims did check for gases before they started working, but somewhere around 10 a.m. neighbors hear a big bang."

Quote: "WFTV was told emergency crews were more concerned about what the men may have inhaled, which is why they were airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center."

Note: You can check for methane and hydrogen sulfide one minute, but nothing says the gases won't be there the next minute, especially hydrogen sulfide which is now blowing around the atmosphere, is highly flammable, and is heavier than air and will sink down into underground facilities from above...

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Massive vehicles such as big RVs, buses, tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and car-haulers will be destroyed by fire in escalating numbers after tires or brakes ignite."

Quote: "The cause of the fire is still being investigated. Firefighters know that it started outside on the porch and spread to the roof and to the rest of the home."

Note: If the wood isn't well-sealed and/or painted with thick exterior paint, then wood porches are going to have the same vulnerabilities to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem that pallets do: 1) absorbent wood is absorbing one or both gases and spontaneously combusting; 2) the wood is usually held together with steel nails, which rust, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel, and 3) the wood is outside, fully exposed to any hydrogen sulfide or methane blowing through in the atmosphere. This same problem applies to all outdoor wood constructs: gazebos, picnic tables, playgrounds, decks, etc.

http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130611/NEWS07/306110336/-1/NEWSMAP

Quote: "The fire's cause is still under investigation. It's not yet known if power was going to the home, or if the cause is linked to the recent string of eight suspected arsons in west Medford that started April 2012. All past cases have been vacant homes."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "So far as homes are concerned, vacant homes, unoccupied homes and homes under construction will burn hardest and first..."

2013-06-09 - Underground electrical fire erupts in coastal Boston's Back Bay area:

http://www.boston.com/metrodesk/2013/06/09/manhole-fire-causes-more-power-outages-back-bay-sunday-night/DtwmbVjpRsKIe2CC82hScK/story.html

Quote: "About 30 more NStar customers across six or seven buildings near the intersection of Beacon Street and Massachusetts Avenue lost power Sunday when flames burst from a manhole at about 8:45 p.m., officials said. Bill Zamparelli, a spokesman for NStar, said the fire was not related to the major outage that hit the Back Bay Sunday morning, even though the fire started in the same network of circuits."

Note: The 'unrelated' power outage is linked below in the Infrastructure Collapse section, as no fire was mentioned in that event. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas that will seek out low-lying areas like underground electrical facilities. It is also an extremely flammable gas and it is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. As a consequence, there have been a large number of underground electrical fires and explosions in cities and towns all over, especially in the last year or so, and most especially in the last three months. This problem can only get worse as time goes on and the oceans and other water bodies around the planet continue pumping hydrogen sulfide into the atmosphere. This will eventually destroy human electrical infrastructure as it currently exists, at least on the surface of the Earth...

2013-06-09 - Mysterious atmospheric explosions and flashes of light shake homes, alarm residents in Ferndale (Michigan):
http://ferndale.patch.com/groups/police-and-fire/p/did-you-hear-that-boom-ferndale-police-investigate-sa88bbe21f9b

Quote: "Ferndale Police are investigating what might have caused three loud booms and light flashes that shook homes and concerned many local residents Saturday night. The booms were heard around 9:30-10 p.m. and may have originated near the area of Hilton and Marshall. More than 40 people posted on Ferndale Patch's Facebook page about the incidents — describing flashes of light seen in the sky, their homes vibrating with the noise, and helicopters heard overheard following the sounds."

Note: And the day prior, a mysterious explosion alarmed people in coastal Seattle (Washington), as mentioned in the 2013-06-08 update. These explosions and flashes of light are almost certainly caused by atmospheric methane and/or hydrogen sulfide plumes finding an ignition source and detonating. Eventually these explosions are going to start wiping out towns and large portions of cities. The escalation in events like this is clear and obvious now to anyone paying attention...

2013-06-09 - Two cars burst into flame in the wee hours, an hour apart, five minutes from each other, in Wisbech (Britain):
http://www.wisbechstandard.co.uk/news/two_cars_torched_in_separate_incidents_but_both_within_an_hour_of_each_other_and_five_minutes_away_1_2229878

Quote: "At 2.15am yesterday Wisbech fire crews were called to a car ablaze in Armada Close. By the time they arrived the Peugeot 307 was well alight and fire fighters used hose reels to extinguish the fire. At 3.15am the same crews were called to a car on fire in Black Bear Lane, Walsoken, a mile and a quarter away."

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. Also, multiple fire incidents in the same general area and within a compressed timeframe is a possible sign of a flammable gas plume - hydrogen sulfide or methane or both - blowing through the area. Hydrogen sulfide is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper like battery cables and other wiring in vehicles, and the vehicles need not be running to burst into flame...

I mention it not because it was huge or destructive, but because it's another sign that wood is absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting, and because of the enormous implications as fires like this become more widespread. Think about it: dead trees, brush, dried leaves, log cabins, wood homes and boats, barns and sheds, flooring, utility poles, railroad ties, pallets, furniture, lumber. Once all of those things have burned, what will be left of human civilization? Nothing but charred rubble...

http://westseattleblog.com/2013/06/early-morning-mystery-boom-heard-in-some-west-seattle-neighborhoods

Note: And yet another 'mystery boom'. These are explosions, and they're likely caused by atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and/or methane plumes finding an ignition source and detonating. Eventually these explosions will likely equal the destructive force of small fission (nuclear) explosions like that which destroyed Hiroshima, but minus any radiation. These 'mystery booms' have been growing in frequency over the last year or so and there is no end in sight. The human race will probably be wiped off the surface of the Earth long before these explosions reach their eventual crescendo...

2013-06-08 - Two underground electrical fires and a utility pole fire hit Vacaville (California):
http://www.dailyrepublic.com/news/fire-burns-utility-pole-in-vacaville-heat-likely-a-factor/

Quote: "That wasn’t the only electrical issue in the city. 'We had two other calls involving underground transformers,' Bowman said. 'People reporting smoke from underground transformers and then they lost power. We had a couple of power outages.'"

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and it is a heavier-than-air gas that will tend to accumulate in low-lying areas, like underground electrical facilities. There have been many underground electrical fires and explosions in the past year or so and they are accelerating, as one would expect of an atmosphere that is being increasingly contaminated...

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."

Quote: "The residents tried to douse the fire, but it completely destroyed two scooters and two motorcycles while partially damaging six other two wheelers. Some bicycles were also gutted. The cause of the fire remains unknown."

Quote: "In the recent past five vehicles including two car and three two-wheelers were burnt in Adajan on January 16. This was followed by 30 vehicles, including 29 scooters and one car, catching fire on April 5 in Kailash Nagar locality. Both the incidents occurred early in the morning in the parking areas."

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...

2013-06-07 - Huge blaze breaks out at pallet yard in Longport (Britain), fire spreads to fireworks factory:

http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/Major-blaze-Longport-pallet-yard-spreads/story-19217982-detail/story.html

Quote: "Police shut the A500 after a huge blaze in a pallet yard spread to a fireworks factory. The building contained one ton of fireworks and eye witnesses saw them exploding as the blaze ripped through the two buildings."

Note: And yet another massive pallet fire. All flammable absorbent materials are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously igniting, including wood, cardboard, paper, mulch, dried brush, generic trash, hay, straw, clothing, cotton, wool, etc. Pallets have a couple of extra vulnerabilities beyond this: 1) they're held together with steel nails/screws, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel; and 2) pallets are frequently stored outside where they are fully exposed to any hydrogen sulfide or methane blowing through in the atmosphere. There have been many pallet-related fires in the last year or so and some of them, like this one, have been massive. Also, having a fireworks factory next to a pallet yard is just asking for trouble...

Quote: "Four Connecticut Light & Power workers were injured today, during an explosion in a manhole in Hartford."

Quote: "Initially, about 9,000 customers experienced a brief power outage..."

Note: And yet another underground electrical explosion/fire. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and it will seek out low-lying areas like underground facilities, bodies of water, valleys, canyons, ditches, ravines, gorges, quays, etc. It is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in underground electrical facilities and wiring in cars and homes and businesses. Also note the other fire events in Hartford for this same day, listed below: an auto shop caught fire at 3:15 AM and a three-family home was destroyed by fire at 1 AM.

http://www.pacificnewscenter.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=34945:explosion-and-fire-at-dededo-substation-triggers-island-wide-blackout&catid=45:guam-news&Itemid=156

Quote: "An explosion and fire at the Guam Power Authority's Dededo substation triggered an islandwide blackout Thursday night."

Quote: "The flames followed the power lines underground, into the substation and across to another transformer on the grounds of the substation. Perez says the smoldering fire generated gases, creating pressure underground that blew off a manhole cover in-between transformers. The explosion blew off the manhole cover, splitting it into 3 pieces."

Quote: "By 10:50pm, Perez says, the entire island was blacked out."

2013-06-06 - Three unexplained explosions heard in the wee hours in Northampton (Britain):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-22778858

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...

2013-06-06 - Mysterious rhythmic rumbling sort of booming noise heard in Cornwall (Britain):
http://www.westbriton.co.uk/Mystery-Cornwall-s-rhythmic-booming-noise/story-19192571-detail/story.html

Note: Sounds like this may have been the same sound as the three explosions heard in Northampton, and they were also heard in Cornwall, but who really knows...

2013-06-06 - Massive inferno destroys the North Coast Pacific Mini Storage warehouse in coastal Prince Rupert (Canada):
http://www.thenorthernview.com/news/210362581.html

Quote: "A major fire at or near North Coast Pacific Mini-storage and Warehouse, said to contain a number of expensive recreational vehicles, sent a towering dark mushroom cloud into the Prince Rupert skyline."

Note: There was also an aircraft stored in there. I'd bet this fire began with some electrified copper wiring in one of those vehicles. This place is also right ON the coast, right where hydrogen sulfide would blow ashore from the oceans. Ironically, over on godlikeproductions.com, people have been posting about a 'global coastal event' while missing the fact that such a thing is already occurring (though this extinction event is actually planetary and not limited to coasts, the effects are just worse along coasts)...

2013-06-06 - Cardboard recycling center hit by fire in Florence (Kentucky), second fire there in two months:

Quote: "A fire broke out two months ago at the same cardboard recycling facility."

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." There were fires at two recycling facilities the day prior too, as mentioned in the 2013-06-05 update...

Note: Two school buses burst into flame the day prior too, one in South Carolina and one in Ireland, as mentioned in the 2013-06-05 update. Not long ago, 16 children and a teacher burned to death when their school bus exploded into flame, in Gujrat (Pakistan), as mentioned in the 2013-05-24 update. It's just a matter of time now before children are burning to death like that in school buses in developed countries too...

Quote: "Meaford Fire Chief, Mike Molloy, told The Independent, that while there have been two recent car fires in Meaford, they are relatively rare."

Note: Correction, car fires USED to be relatively rare, but they are increasingly common now. The driver of this car, a man, was on the way home to pick up his wife, who had just gone into labor. The fire department got him home, got the wife, and got them to the hospital, where she gave birth successfully to a baby girl...

http://www.kimt.com/2013/06/05/4-people-hospitalized-after-moscow-metro-fire/

Quote: "The ministry said nearly 60 people sought medical help and 11 were hospitalized. Most of them suffered from smoke inhalation. Thousands were evacuated."

Note: This is basically the same thing as all the other underground electrical fires and explosions that have been occurring in cities and towns all over, except this time it happened near an area where there were lots of people present. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas which will seek out low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, bodies of water, valleys, ditches, ravines, canyons, etc. It is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like wiring and cables in underground electrical facilities and battery cables and other wiring in vehicles.

NYPD in New York City is going to deploy a harmless gas into the subway system this summer to study gas dispersion patterns, as mentioned in the 2013-04-26 update. This will be the biggest and most expensive study of its kind ever done. This is being done ostensibly in case of a terrorist bioweapon attack, to understand the flow patterns of dangerous gases. And sure, the information they acquire will be useful in that regard if such an event ever happens. But it will ALSO be useful in determining where atmospheric hydrogen sulfide will go, and help address system vulnerabilities in order to try to prevent large numbers of people from dropping dead in the NYC subway system and to help prevent devastating fires and explosions.

And a third fire mentioned a couple days later, where some rubbish caught fire in an alley. A number of cars have burst into flame in or near Doncaster recently too, one mentioned in the 2013-06-04 update, one mentioned in the 2013-05-30 update, and one mentioned in the 2013-05-02 update, plus a barn destroyed in February. They say this pallet fire was arson, but mention no evidence of people being involved, so that just sounds like an assumption...

2013-06-05 - Car bursts into flame at 3:35 AM while parked at home in coastal Melbourne (Australia), fire spreads 2nd car and 2 homes:
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/law-order/car-destroyed-and-two-homes-burnt-in-suspicious-kingsville-blaze/story-fni0fee2-1226658243367

Quote: "...the fact that the car hadn't been used for a long time gave reason for it to be deemed suspicious."

Note: LMAO, obviously their fire officials are not paying attention to what's been going on all over the world as regards non-running vehicles bursting into flame. Residents of Melbourne might wanna hire some more observant fire officials...

2013-06-05 - Car explodes into flame at 1:30 AM while parked at home in Woodville South (Australia), 2 miles from the coast:
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/national/mercedes-up-in-flames-as-arsonist-strikes-at-woodville-south/story-fnii5yv7-1226658248602

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...

2013-06-05 - Car bursts into flame at 2 AM on highway in coastal Seattle (Washington), man jumps out at 60 MPH, 1 injured:
http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Man-survives-after-jumping-from-burning-car-at-60-mph-210237871.html

Quote: "A man is battered but still alive after jumping from a burning car as it was headed down the highway at 60 mph, the Washington State Patrol reported. The bizarre incident unfolded Wednesday at about 2 a.m. when a gold car heading east on Highway 518 burst into flames just east of the Sea-Tac Airport exit. For some reason, the driver of the car did not pull over but jumped out of the moving vehicle as it was going at about 60 mph."

Quote: "Meanwhile, the burning car kept going with no one inside for about a mile and half before crashing into some bushes..."

Note: Must've been a sight to see, a driverless burning car going down the highway for a mile and a half!

Quote: "Siemsen said the fire, which melted the tail lights and a luggage rack and destroyed the contents of the trunk, is being investigated as a possible arson."

Note: Tail lights, which means electrified copper. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, thus all the underground electrical fires and explosions, the non-running vehicles bursting into flame, the fires starting at outdoor lights on homes, the battery fires on Boeing Dreamliners, etc.

Quote: "The scary part? The fires are happening in the middle of the night, very close to homes."

Note: They're happening very close to homes because people are parking their vehicles very near their homes. If people were parking their vehicles farther away from their homes then these fires would be happening there...

http://www.pressherald.com/fires-force-removal-of-silver-bullet-recycling-containers-in-portland_2013-06-05.html

Note: They are actually attempting to portray these fires as arson (though, as usual, they have no actual evidence that that's the case). No arsonist would get up that early in the morning during the same timeframe each time just to ignite some trash. It's too predictable and nobody cares if trash burns and nobody is even awake to see the fires and fires inside recycling bins aren't going to be visually awe-inspiring. In fact, if they really DO think this is the work of an arsonist, then they should leave the bins there, and assign an unmarked cop at each one during that timeframe and they'd nab the bastard in no time...

Quote: "An outside light fixture may have sparked a fire early Tuesday morning that damaged a home..."

Note: I've mentioned this problem before. It's the same problem as with all the non-running vehicles bursting into flame and all the underground electrical fires and explosions: hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. That's how outside light fixtures are usually powered, with electricity, meaning electrified copper. This is a potentially serious vulnerability for anyone with an outdoor light fixture...

2013-06-03 - Mysterious 'boom sound' alarms residents in Smyrna (Tennessee):

http://wgnsradio.com/did-you-hear-a-big-boom-in-the-area-of-smyrna-monday-night--cms-13158

Note: These mysterious explosions - which sometimes rattle or damage homes - are likely hydrogen sulfide and/or methane plumes in the atmosphere finding an ignition source and detonating. Sometimes a 'flash of light' is seen accompanying the explosion, if anyone is watching and it occurs at night, and the explosion occurs high enough above the ground. This is Earth's unique way of bombing us. Eventually these explosions may be as large as those caused by the detonation of small thermonuclear (fission) weapons, like the blast that devastated Hiroshima, but minus the radiation (unless one takes out a nuclear plant in which case we'll get the radiation too, albeit indirectly). Syrna is right next to J Percy Priest Reservoir, a low-lying area where hydrogen sulfide will tend to accumulate when the wind isn't blowing it onward...

Note: Here's a little interesting history I stumbled upon. Purchase gets its name from a debt owed to John Harrison by the King of England. The 'purchase', in 1696, was that he could keep all the land that he could ride in 24 hours on horseback. He rode more land than just the town of Purchase - I'd guess he rode until his ass had blisters - but that's where the town gets its name.

Quote: "All power has been restored to UC San Diego Sunday morning after a manhole cover exploded overnight. It happened just after 3:30a.m. in front of the social sciences building..."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will seek out low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, valleys, ditches, canyons, bodies of water, etc. It's also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and as a consequence there have been numerous underground electrical fires and explosions around the world, especially in the last few months. Also, 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.

Obviously, even if you're prudent in that regard, you might still get screwed because someone else may park next to you and there's not much you can do about that. All you can do is minimize risk in regard to your own actions...

2013-06-01 - Two separate underground electrical explosions and fires cause widespread power outages in Davis (California):

http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2013/06/01/underground-electrical-fires-cause-power-outages-in-davis/
http://fox40.com/2013/06/01/transformer-blows-sparking-fire-and-power-outages/

Quote: "At around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, firefighters were called to an underground electrical vault in the area of Marina Circle and Lake Boulevard after it exploded and started a fire above the ground."

Quote: "A similar underground vault exploded earlier in the day over two miles away at 520 Alvarado Avenue. Firefighters were able to limit that fire to a few bushes. The fires caused widespread power outages."

Note: There have been many fires and explosions just like this in towns and cities all over, particularly in the last six months. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas which will seek out low-lying areas like underground facilities. It's also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in underground electrical facilities. This one problem alone may eventually turn the lights out on human civilization. I highly recommend you keep some form of backup lighting handy, at the very least. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

2013-06-01 - Raging blaze destroys 94 million pounds of corn and rice in 78 barns in Huayuan Township of Lindian County (China):

http://english.sina.com/china/2013/0601/595614.html

Quote: "The fire later spread to 78 barns, with a total grain reserve of 47,000 tonnes..."

Note: That's a new record for most barns wiped out in one fire. In fact, I hadn't really been keeping track of that, because it's usually 1 or 2 barns, not SIX DOZEN PLUS! That was enough food to feed 2 million people for about a month lost in this one fire. There are some lakes in that area, as you'd expect of an agricultural area, but I can't read the names - they're like Chinese to me...

2013-06-02 - Mammoth 'Powerhouse Fire' in Angeles National Forest (California) doubles in size, 2,000 homes evacuated:

Quote: "Patty Robitaille, 61, grabbed personal photos and documents before fleeing her Lake Hughes home with her pit bull, Roxie, as flames approached Saturday night. She said her home was among the first in the direct path of the fire. 'Driving away, you could see the town burning up,' she told the Los Angeles Times. 'I don't think there's going to be much left.' A huge plume of smoke could be seen from much of various parts of northern Los Angeles County throughout Saturday, and air-quality officials warned against strenuous outdoor activity."

2013-06-01 - Massive inferno guts metal recycling plant in coastal Sydney (Australia):

http://bigpondnews.com/articles/National/2013/06/02/Fire_guts_Sydney_recycling_plant_876699.html

Quote: "A recycling plant in Sydney's south has been gutted by a massive fire, which sent flames shooting high into the night sky, and forced the evacuation of neighboring properties. The inferno broke out in a pile of scrap metal in Banksmeadow, at around 6.30pm on Saturday night."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper and rusty iron/steel. Copper is usually processed separately and isn't likely to be in piles like this, but rusty iron/steel is. Only hydrogen sulfide adequately explains fires like this, where piles of scrap metal burst into flame...

http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/calderdale/two-house-fires-on-busy-night-for-fire-crews-1-5725968

Quote: "The skip was full of wood, shower trays and other plastics as firefighters spent an hour and a half extinguishing the blaze. It is not known how the fire started."

Quote: "A minute later the second engine from Halifax was called to a car fire Sandhall Lane, Pellon. It is believed an electrical fault started the blaze and even though the car was in the driveway close to the house, there was no damage caused to the property..."

Note: Also mentioned, a vacant home burning. And all these 'electrical faults' causing fires in non-running vehicles - hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like battery cables and other wiring in vehicles, and electrical cables and wires in underground electrical facilities. It's the same cause behind all the vehicle fires and all the underground electrical fires and explosions...
