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.

2013-10-08 - 'Gas smell' reported in coastal Richmond (California), buildings in Marina Bay evacuated, source not found:
http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_24267002/richmond-residents-report-strong-gas-odor
Quote: "Fire engines scoured city streets looking for the source as buildings in Marina Bay were evacuated and some Richmond schools briefly sheltered in place. But nothing was found. 'Based on the geography of the reports, we envision that this was a huge plume of some sort of gas that enveloped roughly half the city,' said Richmond police Capt. Mark Gagan. 'We were never able to locate the exact source.' Calls began pouring in at the emergency call center at 2 p.m., but about an hour later, the smell dissipated, and eventually officials called off the search..."
Note: Natural gas actually has no odor so they add stinky mercaptan to it, so that it has any smell at all. Mercaptan smells like hydrogen sulfide smells at low concentrations, so people are surely confusing the smells. This area is right on the coast, where hydrogen sulfide is apt to blow ashore from the ocean. What will they say when an entire neighborhood - or an entire city - drops dead? I guess we'll find out...

http://nation.time.com/2013/10/08/fiery-metal-melting-explosions-at-nsa-data-center-stump-investigators/
http://nextnewsnetwork.com/fiery-explosions-rock-nsa-data-center/
Quote: "In the past 10 months alone, the facility has experienced 13 electrical surges, which officials describe as “a flash of lightning inside a 2-foot box.” The melting metal that results from the fiery explosions causes the circuits to fail and prevents NSA workers from using the computers. A spokeswoman for the NSA insists, despite no clear culprit for the explosions, that the issues 'have been mitigated.'"
Quote: "Massive electrical surges at a data storage facility for the National Security Agency have led to the destruction of hugely expensive machinery and delayed its opening for a year..."
Quote: "Investigators have not yet determined the root cause of the electrical failures, nor have they agreed upon a solution that could prevent the explosions from happening again."
Note: These boxes are probably well-protected from fluids - e.g. rain - but they are probably not airtight. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and obviously there's some of that involved in these explosions. Unless they've protected the contents of these boxes from the atmosphere then they haven't solved the problem and tax dollars will continue to go up in flames...

But multiple people, of all ages, have been found dead in hot tubs, pools, rivers, canals, lakes, in boats, in the same building but different apartments, in separate but adjacent homes, etc. This area is right on the banks of the Mississippi River...
2013-10-08 - Couple, 74 and 70, found dead in home in Chalmette (Louisiana):
http://www.fox8live.com/story/23631534/couple-found-dead-in-chalmette-home
Note: Chalmette is located on the northeast (downwind) banks of the Mississippi River, is surrounded by lakes and is close to the Gulf of Mexico too...
2013-10-08 - Couple, 37 and 36, found dead at home in Old Metarie (Louisiana), near the Mississippi River:
http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2013/10/coroners_office_identified_man_1.html
Quote: "Bone said the two had been dead for at least 24 hours, but their bodies had no obvious signs of trauma."
Note: Not a good time to be living too close to the Mississippi River. All three of the above multi-person deaths were near the Mississippi River, and two of the incidents were in Louisiana near the Gulf of Mexico...
2013-10-08 - Man, 60, drops dead in kayak off the coast of Northern California:
http://www.visaliatimesdelta.com/article/20131007/NEWS01/310070034/Tulare-man-dies-while-kayaking-off-Northern-California-coast
Quote: "The newspaper reports that a lifeguard had swum out to an unmoving man in a kayak, and he didn’t respond to efforts to revive him. After the man was brought to shore, paramedics pronounced him dead."
2013-10-08 - Man, 37, found dead in basement, small fire nearby, at home in Salt Lake City (Utah):

Quote: "Young, healthy » Victim had no signs of trauma, not thought suicidal."
Quote: "Crews who arrived say they found smoke and a small fire in a basement bedroom. They put the flames out with an extinguisher. The man was found dead in a separate room. South Salt Lake Fire Deputy Chief Kevin Bowman says it's unclear whether the fire had anything to do with the man's death. Bowman says there was no obvious trauma on the man's body, and no indications of suicide."
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is as flammable as it is deadly, and quite possibly killed this man AND ignited the fire. It's also a heavier-than-air gas and will tend to flow to low-lying areas, like basements...

Quote: "There were no obvious signs of trauma to the body and foul play is not suspected."
Note: Whew, that's a relief. So, probably just poison gas knocking another person dead. Nothing to worry about, unless you're one of those need-unpoisoned-air-to-live kind of people...

http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/10/09/20880468-flying-blind-passenger-lands-plane-after-pilot-collapses-at-controls
Quote: " Two flight instructors were called in to talk to the passenger from the ground while he took control of the plane, an airport spokesman said. The man had very limited flying experience and had never landed an aircraft before. Despite this, he managed to successfully land at the North Lincolnshire airport just after 7.30pm."

http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/small-plane-henderson-rolls-arizona-runway-ledge
Quote: "Sedona Fire District spokesman Gary Johnson says the plane dropped about 200 feet into a tree-covered slope off the runway's south end about 2 p.m. Tuesday."
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."

2013-10-08 - Tractor trailer veers off road, across median, into cornfield, goes a mile, near Sioux Falls (South Dakota), 1 killed:
http://www.ksfy.com/story/23637954/semi-driver-found-dead-in-union-county
Quote: "Gerald Fry, 66, of Canistota, was traveling southbound on Interstate 29 when, for an unknown reason, his semi-truck left the roadway to the left. The vehicle crossed the median and north bound lanes of the Interstate and entered a cornfield to the east of Interstate 29. Once in the cornfield, the semi-truck traveled for approximately one mile before it encountered the steep ditch embankment of 473rd Ave. His semi-truck crossed the gravel road and the trailer became high centered, bringing the vehicle to rest. Fry was wearing a seatbelt. It appears Fry may have suffered from a medical emergency prior to the crash, which was possibly the cause of the accident. Fry was deceased when medical emergency first responders arrived at the scene."
Note: I suspect he died on I-29, while driving, then slumped over the wheel, crashed off the highway and the truck kept on chugging for another mile. It's just luck that there was no oncoming traffic when this incident happened, else more people could easily have died...

Quote: "There has been a terrifying surge in the number of sightings of Britain's most poisonous spider - the false widow - in London and Essex in the past month. More than 50 people have reported seeing the venomous arachnid, the cousin of the infamous black widow, in the past few weeks alone."
2013-10-08 - Insurers 'pulling out' over fires at recycling facilities:
http://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/waste-management/insurers-2018pulling-out2019-over-waste-fires
Quote: "Insurance firms have warned that the fires which have hit waste industry sites this year has had a dramatic effect on insurance cover, with premiums increasing for many firms in the sector. The warnings come in the wake of concerns raised by the waste sector that the number of insurers willing to offer property insurance, which includes buildings, contents, machinery, and business interruption cover, has declined and that premiums are being pushed up."
Note: I'm not at all surprised. Flammable absorbent materials are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting, including wood, paper, cardboard, cloth, mulch, hay, straw, rubber, etc. This means that recycling facilities are very vulnerable to this problem and they have indeed been going up in flames everywhere. More fires means more costs for insurers, which means fewer insurers willing to take the risk, and higher premiums for those that do...
