Event Update For 2013-09-05

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.

2013-09-05 - Metal recycling facility hit by raging inferno in Taft (Florida):

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-fire-scrap-metal-plant-20130905,0,403582.story

 

Quote: "According to the company's website, Trademark Metals Recycling is Florida's largest scrap-metal recycler..."

 

Note: And here's yet another metal-related facility going up in flames. From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers." A fire just like this one hit a metal-recycling facility near coastal Bell Bay on the island of Tasmania (Australia) the day prior, as mentioned in the 2013-09-04 update, and there have been many others before that, and especially in recent months. This problem is going to get much worse...

2013-09-05 - Fire damages building at metals company in Cecil Township (Pennsylvania):

2013-09-05 - Underground electrical explosion knocks off manhole in coastal St. Petersburg (Florida):
http://www.baynews9.com/content/news/baynews9/news/article.html/content/news/articles/bn9/2013/9/5/crews_working_explos.html

Quote: "St. Petersburg Police have left the scene of some kind of explosion in downtown St. Petersburg. Officials said the call came in around 4:20 p.m. regarding an explosion at 420 1st Street N. where a manhole was dislodged. St. Petersburg Police spokesman Mike Puetz said the explosion turned out to be nothing 'serious.' According to Duke Energy, a piece of underground equipment malfunctioned, causing a power surge that blew the manhole cover off on 1st Street."

Note: This event was not, in itself, serious. But that's like looking at one tree burning in the Rim Fire and saying, 'eh, no big deal, not a big fire'. What is serious is that these underground explosions and fires are clearly escalating, and if you extrapolate out, the world ends up sitting in the dark with no electricity. Some people may actually find that to be a rather serious problem...

2013-09-05 - Three transformers burst into flame, take out power to hospital, in Cheverly (Maryland):
http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/23355137/transformer-fire-at-power-plant-at-pg-hospital

Quote: "The hospital had to go to emergency generator power and 'mini-disaster' status. Patients transported in ambulances or helicopters were sent to other hospitals."

Note: This hospital is less than one mile east (downwind) of the Anacostia River...

2013-09-05 - Transformer explodes and burns, fire spreads to restaurant, in coastal Phuket (Thailand):
http://www.thephuketnews.com/tourists-left-shocked-as-transformer-explodes-ignites-phuket-restaurant-41762.php

Note: Lots of people mysteriously dying in and near Phuket too. Well, hydrogen sulfide isn't just extremely flammable (and reactive with copper, especially electrified copper), it's also deadly...

2013-09-05 - Smoke smell sends passenger plane to emergency landing in Spokane (Washington):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VIV-20130906-40826-USA

Quote: "A chartered passenger jet made an emergency landing Thursday in Spokane after the flight crew smelled smoke."

2013-09-05 - Two SUVs and two cars burst into flame at 3:55 AM while parked in parking lot in Lawndale, Philadelphia (Pennsylvania):

2013-09-05 - Transit bus bursts into flame on road near coastal Kingston on the island of Jamaica:

http://www.jamaicanmateyangroupie.com/bus-that-caught-on-fire-in-mona-today/
http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/JUTC-bus-catches-fire-on-Mona-Road

Note: Earlier this year, 'noxious fumes' sickened dozens on the island, knocked some people unconscious, as mentioned in the 2013-02-28 update...

2013-09-05 - School bus bursts into flame on US 95 in Clark County (Nevada):
http://www.ktnv.com/news/local/222591891.html
http://lasvegas.greatlocalnews.info/?p=19268
http://www.ktnv.com/news/local/School-bus-catches-fire-near-Jones--US-Highway-95-222591891.html

Note: The school year has barely begun and this is already the second school bus to burn. The first was mentioned in the 2013-09-03 update. So once all the school buses are burned up, then how do we get kids to school? Maybe we could try really big slingshots, and inflatable landing zones on the other end. No rusty iron/steel, no electrified copper, no flammable fuels, just kids occasionally flying overhead and screaming from time to time. Gotta think outside the box!

2013-09-05 - Charter school bus bursts into flame on US 26 just outside Portland (Oregon):

http://www.kgw.com/news/Bus-on-fire-on-Highway-26-near-Jefferson-on-ramp-222606101.html

Quote: "A Blue Star charter bus carrying about 30 members of the Central Catholic JV football team exploded in flames along U.S. 26 just outside of downtown Portland around 5 p.m. Thursday."

Note: This bus was carrying students for a school activity, so I'd call this a school bus, albeit a chartered bus, not the standard yellow, which means here's the third school bus to burn in three days, that I know of...

2013-09-05 - Car-hauler truck bursts into flame on I-24 near Clarksville (Tennessee):

Note: Clarksville again. Interesting...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will tend to accumulate in low-lying areas, like lakes, ponds, streams, creeks, rivers, ravines, canyons, valleys, etc. Then the wind picks it up eventually and blows it onward and when that happens the sides of buildings that face that low-lying area are most apt to burst into flame...

http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/24-killed-in-south-africa-truck-crash-113090600040_1.html

Quote: "A truck collided with five other vehicles in South Africa Thursday night, killing at least 24 people and injuring about 80 others, media reported. The tragic incident took place after the truck crashed into four minibus taxis and a car in Pinetown of KuaZulu-Natal province, Xinhua reported citing a News24 report. It is believed that the accident was caused by the failure of the truck's braking system."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is being absorbed into tire rubber and brake pads. Then when vehicles brake, the friction generates an unusual amount of heat, 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. There have been a great many huge tragedies in recent months as a result of brake failure, especially involving massive vehicles like trucks of all kinds and buses, but no vehicle is immune...
