http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2515693/Longest-covered-bridge-Asia-destroyed-massive-ripped-303-metre-wooden-structure.html

 

Quote: "The Feng Yu Covered Bridge, in Chongqing, China, is known throughout the Far East for its traditional beauty topped by a pagoda-style roof that stretched 303 metres across the region's Apeng River. But last night the five-metre-wide crossing, first built in 1591, collapsed into the waters as the blaze turned it to ashes."

 

Note: A bridge over the Colorado River burst into flame in the wee hours in Parker (Arizona) not long ago too, as mentioned in the 2013-09-23 update. Numerous vehicles have burst into flame on bridges as well, especially in the last six months or so...

 

2013-11-30 - Massive explosion destroys 3-story log cabin home near Grandview (Texas), at least 1 killed:

http://www.onenewspage.us/n/US/74w630rzq/Grandview-Texas-Explosion-Rocks-Log-Cabin-Style-Home.htm

Quote: "The blast occurred near County Road 408 and Farm to Market Road 916. People posting on social media said their homes shook so much they believed an earthquake had occurred."

Quote: "My wife and I felt it just north of Keene. Must have been very powerful."

Quote: "The vehicles belonging to the residents of the log cabin home were in the driveway and she believes that they were home. 'Nobody lived through that,' she added."

2013-11-30 - Woman's hair bursts into flame while she sleeps at home in Houston (Texas):
http://www.khou.com/news/local/HFD-Womans-hair-catches-fire-while-sleeping-in-north-Houston-home-233933781.html

Note: Her pillows/bedding may have absorbed hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and contaminated her hair, then ignited via static electricity as she rolled around as she slept. Could be it was simply her hair that got contaminated too, probably while outside. Lots of animals have been found burning in recent months, usually blamed on malevolent people, but without any witnesses or evidence of people being involved. Like clothes, animal fur may absorb either or both gases then ignite via static electricity, so I'm not at all convinced that the burning animals involve people, at least not all of them...

http://en.haberler.com/bus-catches-on-fire-proceeds-on-the-road123456789-331147/

Quote: "The fire ignited as the bus was passing the city centre in Omsk, and the alert driver opened the doors and ordered all passengers out. He fled too - but the bus, engulfed in flames - kept moving along a busy street in the west Siberian city. At the top of an incline, the driverless vehicle gained speed as it careened downhill towards a lake, according to reports. By luck it missed several pedestrians before crashing into a fence where the runaway fireball bus crashed to a halt. 'It was like a scene out of a movie,' said a bystander."

2013-11-29 - Mysterious explosions - four - alarm residents in and near coastal Stonington Connecticut:

http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Mysterious-Booms-Heard-in-Southeastern-Connecticut-233837611.html
http://www.courant.com/community/stonington/hc-stonington-booms-1130-20131129,0,3595199.story

 

Quote: "Stonington police said they received more than 100 calls from people across the town who reported hearing at least four loud 'booms'. They got their first call at 9:11 a.m., police said."

 

Quote: "Police have stopped actively investigating explosive sounds that shook homes in Old Mystic Friday after being unable to find the source of the booms."

 

Note: These mysterious explosions are very likely caused by atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and/or methane finding an ignition source and detonating. Eventually these explosions may rival those caused by small fission bombs, like the one that destroyed Hiroshima, but without the radiatation. Off the East Coast there are 2.5 gigatons of methane clathrates dissociating. If efficiently distributed (which thankfully won't happen), that's enough explosive force to wipe out the 1000 largest cities on the planet, just in that ONE deposit. New evacuation signs went up along the East Coast in 2012, very possibly as preparation for when the coast really starts burning and exploding hard-core...

2013-11-29 - RV bursts into flame at 4 AM while parked on Lower Rawson Street in Farnworth (Britain):
http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/10840476.UPDATED__Motor_home_destroyed_in_suspected_arson_attack/

Note: Interesting one here. They suspect arson because it was parked and someone also said they heard someone trying to start the engine. Actually, what they may have heard was the engine trying to start ITSELF, as has happened with a number of vehicular fires. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, so these 'electrical fires' may end up causing shorts and the vehicle starting itself. The most memorable such incident so far was when a boat burst into flame, started itself, then tore across the harbor on fire smashing into other boats, in coastal Coffs Harbor (Australia), as mentioned in the 2013-05-03 update. The home where this RV fire occurred is located about 1000 feet from a lake and 2000 feet from the River Croal. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground...

Quote: "A raging fire on a Brooklyn subway track left hordes of hungry holiday straphangers stuck without Brooklyn-bound train service for hours Thursday..."

 

Note: And two days prior, a fire broke out in the subway in coastal London (Britain), disrupting mass transit there, as mentioned in the 2013-11-26 update. Both New York City and London conducted tests this year to see where a heavier-than-air gas would go once in their respective subway systems. Coincidence? Hah, not a chance. Both the US and UK governments are aware of the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane contamination problem and so they know that hydrogen sulfide - a heavier-than-air gas - will be getting into the subways and causing problems, so they ran the tests to try to identify weaknesses and presumably (one would hope) work to address them. Looks like whatever mitigation measures they've tried aren't working too well though...

Quote: "There are no suspects at this time; no one was seen the area or fleeing when the fire was discovered."

Note: Which means the only reason it's deemed suspicious is because it was parked and not running. Oblivious police there haven't noticed yet that parked vehicles have been going up in flames regularly everywhere for quite some time. I read somewhere that if you score too HIGH on intelligence tests, some places won't let you be a cop. Seems like there must be some truth to that...

http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/local/all-news/investigation-to-be-carried-out-after-suspected-six-car-arson-blaze-1-6281601

Quote: "A spokesman for the Fire Service said the cause of the fires is unknown at the moment, though they are thought to have been started deliberately. 'The way they were started is unusual,' he said. 'Usually the window will be smashed and the fire started inside the car, but these were started under the front engine compartment.'"

Note: LMAO, so they think someone took the time to pop each of the hoods and start fires in the engine compartment? If your goal is to burn a car and get away with it, then that's just crazy. The engine compartment is where the battery is located, which means electrified copper. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane floating in the air closer to the ground...

2013-11-27 - Small plane explodes and breaks apart, near Loveland (Colorado), 1 killed:

http://www.9news.com/rss/story.aspx?storyid=366487
www.denverpost.com/news/ci_24611893/rescuers-respond-plane-crash-water-south-longmont

 

Quote: "The sheriff's office confirmed the plane had pieces falling off of it when it went down Wednesday afternoon. Witnesses said they heard a large explosion just before the plane began to break apart."

 

Note: Well, I've been expecting planes to start exploding in mid-air, and here's one. People aren't likely to pay much attention when it's a small plane like this one, but once commercial airliners start exploding regularly - which seems inevitable and could start any time - then I suspect that might open peoples' eyes a bit...

Quote: "The firefighters said that one of the men told her he woke up with his leg on fire."

Note: I bet his clothes or bedding had absorbed some hydrogen sulfide and/or methane, and static electricity ignited the clothes or bedding. There've been numerous incidents involving people bursting into flame. It's actually not the people igniting but rather their clothes. Hah, maybe the people going crazy and getting naked are the smart ones!

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."

2013-11-27 - Tanker truck bursts into flame on the island of Tsing Yi (Hong Kong), man ignites too, 2 injured:

Quote: "One of the drivers, named Poon, 63, had connected a fuel pipe into the top of the tanker around 7am as usual. During the refilling, a slight blast was heard before the front of the truck went up in flames. Poon's trousers caught fire, and he dropped to the floor from the oil platform, suffering burns to his hands, legs, and back. Another driver, named Cheung, 55, rushed to help, but fell hard to the ground, injuring his waist, back and legs."

Note: This sounds like the work of the Ghostly Match once again, much like the man and vehicle that burst into flame while gassing up at a gas station in Chattanooga (Tennessee), as mentioned in the 2013-11-25 update, though this tanker fire was obviously more serious...

2013-11-27 - Tractor trailer bursts into flame while parked at business in Calverton (New York), near the coast:
http://www.riverheadlocal.com/breaking-news/firefighters-douse-tractor-trailer-fire-in-calverton

Quote: "The owner of the truck, which was parked in the southwest corner of the FedEx parking lot, told police he hadn't started its engine since Monday, Brooks said."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel and electrified copper, and even non-running vehicles have those, unless the battery is removed or disconnected, in which case the vehicle will still have some rust on it. This is why 'cold' parked vehicles are spontaneously igniting all over the place. This one tiny aspect of the overall atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane contamination problem is all by itself a civilization-level threat...

Note: If not for that cop, that pickup driver would've been listed in the corpses section. Nice video, worth watching, first link. More and more people are getting burned to death in their vehicles and it's not hard to understand why: hydrogen sulfide will knock you unconscious or dead AND ignite your vehicle. That's surely why a newly engaged young couple burned to death in their vehicle after New Years, as mentioned in the 2013-01-01 update, and there have been a whole lot of people who've been found burned to death in burning or burned-out vehicles since then...

2013-11-26 - Mysterious explosion alarms residents of Saint-Lazare (Canada):

http://westislandgazette.com/news/story/2013/11/26/loud-explosion-like-noise-heard-across-off-island-west-island/

 

Quote: "What was that boom? What was that flash of light? And where were they coming from? Hudson, St-Lazare and towns farther afield were rocked briefly by the sound of an explosion and a flash of blue-green light in the night sky at around 8 p.m. Tuesday. But the source of the big boom remains a mystery."

 

Note: Lots of bodies of water around this area. These mysterious explosions - sometimes accompanied by a flash of light - are likely atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and/or methane plumes finding an ignition source and detonating. Methane burns blue and hydrogen sulfide burns green. The flash of light was blue-green. These mysterious explosions really started getting going a couple of years back, right around the time that methane releases around the world began accelerating and 'rotten egg' odors started being mentioned with some frequency. That's not a coincidence. Eventually these explosions may rival those generated by small nuclear bombs, like the fission explosion that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus the radiation. Poison gas, fires and explosions are the reasons governments around the world have been industriously constructing underground facilities; living on the surface of the Earth will be impossible. Don't tell me they've forgotten to mention that to you!?

Quote: "Best said a car that was parked just outside a ground-level garage somehow caught fire. The blaze then spread to the building..."

Note: Lexington has been busy with fires. A car, garage and home burned the day before, as mentioned in the 2013-11-25 update. And the night before that, two parked cars went up in flames outside a business, as mentioned in the 2013-11-24 update. What's a common factor in all the fires? One or more vehicles burning. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel, which all vehicles have, unless they've just rolled off the assembly line. Hydrogen sulfide is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like vehicle wiring. What this means is that vehicles of all types are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time. If you park a vehicle near your residence then you shouldn't be too surprised if you lose both your vehicle AND your residence, and possibly your life too, as many people already have...

http://www.johnsoncitypress.com/article/112820/man-suffers-burns-when-pants-vehicle-catch-fire-at-east-tennessee-gas-station

 

Quote: "Battalion Chief Charles Patton said a 32-year-old man was pumping gas into his vehicle when a fire erupted, catching his pants on fire, as well as part of the vehicle.  Eyewitnesses said the man initially panicked and ran. A couple of people grabbed portable fire extinguishers and extinguished the fire on the man and his vehicle."

 

Quote: "'I don't smoke, nor use my cell phones when pumping gas,' says Nikki May."

 

Note: This sounds VERY much like the work of the Ghostly Match. I specifically mentioned refueling: "Would you siphon gas or refuel your vehicle if there was a lit match right there? Of course not, but you won't SEE the match until it's struck." In other words, anytime you go to gas up, don't count on not catching fire, because you just might. Just ask Nikki May...

2013-11-25 - Gas cylinder explodes at metal scrap market in Lahore (India), 1 killed, 4 injured:
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2013\11\26\story_26-11-2013_pg13_2

Quote: "According to rescue officials, victim and others were busy working at an iron warehouse of steel mill when the cylinder exploded due to gas leakage."

Note: What ignited the gas? Gas doesn't just ignite all by itself just because it leaks. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel though. Was there any rusty iron/steel around? Rhetorical question...

Note: This sounds like the work of the Ghostly Match. The event above it does too. Just this one aspect of this one problem is going to end up killing a whole lot of people. You'll be at greatest danger when refueling vehicles using any gas or fluid fuel that produces flammable vapors in the air. You won't see this problem coming until it hits and then it's too late...

Note: I Street before E Street, except after C Street. Apparently some leaves caught fire on E Street and as a cop tried to stomp the fire out, the car erupted in flame. Hydrogen sulfide may have sparked near some rusty iron/steel or electrified copper on that car and ignited those leaves which in turn ignited that car. Put rusty iron/steel or electrified copper near anything flammable and it's just a matter of time until fire breaks out...

A change in the atmosphere will do the job just fine...

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."

 

2013-11-19 - Home explodes and collapses in Attayampatti (India), 5 killed, 4 injured:

http://newindianexpress.com/nation/Three-killed-eight-injured-in-gas-cylinder-explosion/2013/11/20/article1901191.ece

Quote: "They said the explosion occured after the woman tried to light the gas stove unaware of a leak in the cylinder."

Note: How do they know there was a leak in the cylinder? They don't; it's just an assumption. Gas from cylinders isn't the only flammable gas in the atmosphere these days. What do they think is causing those giant neighborhood-shaking explosions with flashes of light in the skies, witnessed by many all over the world these last couple of years? They aren't aware of those? Hah, well then, they're not very informed...

2013-11-19 - Travel trailer explodes and burns near Alvarado (Texas), 4 injured:

http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/2013/11/four-injured-in-johnson-co-fire-in-rv-park.html/

Quote: "One of the victims told emergency responders that the roof immediately turned blue with flames after a cigarette was lit inside the trailer, Jones said. Jones said investigators believe the fire and explosion started due to a leak in a propane tank mounted on the trailer’s front tow hitch."

Note: The ROOF turned blue with flames. Are these fire officials unaware that propane is a heavier-than-air gas? Seems like an important thing to know if dealing with fires is your job. It sounds more like methane in this case, which would tend to accumulate at the ceiling once it infiltrates a structure. Also, these people apparently smelled nothing, but they should have been able to smell an explosive amount of propane. Methane, on the other hand, is odorless...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel. This fire was basically the same as all the auto scrapyards and metal recycling centers burning...

Note: Responders pulled the people inside out the window, which was already down. I bet this fire took out the car's electrical system, and the car had power locks, and the doors were locked.

Might wanna keep a hammer or something handy in your vehicle when you drive, just in case...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will tend to accumulate in low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, ditches, ravines, canyons, valleys, creeks, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, seas, etc. It is also a highly flammable gas and it is reactive with rusty iron/steel and copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in underground electrical facilities as well as wiring in vehicles and buildings. Wonder why the gubment is training for grid failure? I don't...

http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S3221961.shtml

Note: They're looking for a car arsonist because they're assuming that parked vehicles don't spontaneously ignite in the wee hours. LMAO, cops there sure haven't been paying any attention to Planet Earth the last year or two, because parked vehicles have been spontaneously igniting regularly, especially in the wee hours, which is when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane floating in the air above closer to the ground. Witnesses, motive, surveillance footage, forensic evidence? Nope, just an assumption. That's not good enough. They should hold a bake sale there, raise some money, buy these cops a clue. ..

http://www.kens5.com/news/SAPD-Child-dies-in-truck-explosion-while-riding-with-grandfather-on-northwest-side--232198851.html

 

Quote: "Police say the boy was with his 51-year-old grandfather when the Chevy pickup they were traveling had a problem and they pulled over in the 10500 block of Mt. Evans Drive. The grandfather looked under the hood and that’s when the car suddenly caught fire, police said."

 

Note: And the day prior, a 4-year-old girl burned to death when an RV burst into flame in the South Valley in Bernalillo County (New Mexico), plus two other people were found burned to death in or near burned-out vehicles, as mentioned in the 2013-11-15 update. From the full hypothesis: "Vehicles of all kinds will continue to burn, as they have been, and the number of vehicular fires will continue to escalate, inevitably resulting in a corresponding increase in the number of people being incinerated in their vehicles."

2013-11-15 - Two homes hit by 'electrical' fires within 15 minutes, in Henrico (Virginia), near the coast:
http://www.nbc12.com/story/23983675/two-henrico-homes-have-electrical-fire-around-the-same-time

Quote: "Lieutenant Jackson with Henrico Fire said that both fires are believed to have started because of wiring in the power boxes. Krista and other neighbors say power lines outside the home caught fire."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. A little sparking or sizzling near some electrified copper and you have a fire. Both of these fires happened in the same general area, around the same time, and it sounds like both fires began in outdoor power boxes, more exposed to the atmosphere than indoor wiring. That's a sign of a gas plume blowing through the area, igniting here and there as it goes. Not too terrible when it's only one or two homes catching fire (unless it's yours, of course), but what happens when it's twenty homes, or a hundred homes? I guess you queue up. 'We're sorry, sir, but the quickest we can get a fire crew to your burning home is...mmmm...2 hours. Good luck!'

http://www.newscastic.com/news/officials-small-boat-fire-likely-suspicious-1125756/

Note: I don't see any motive or witnesses or any evidence at all of people being involved with starting this fire. They're probably assuming arson for no other reason than that they can't understand how a parked non-running vehicle could spontaneously ignite. That just shows they aren't paying attention to the world around them, where parked non-running vehicles of all kinds are going up in flames everywhere. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground...

2013-11-13 - Tractor bursts into flame near Morris (Minnesota), fire spreads to barn:
http://www.kmrskkok.com/2013/11/13/fire-at-farmstead-near-morris/

Quote: "Chief Dave Dybdal says the fire was started by a cable on a tractor. Several pieces of equipment stored in the barn were destroyed, with damages totaled between $35,000-40,000."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like vehicle wiring. Lots of parked non-running vehicles have been spontaneously igniting in recent times and this is the likely cause of many of those fires, with the remainder probably caused by hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with rusty iron/steel...

http://journalstar.com/truck-fire-at-saint-elizabeth/image_faf9e9d0-de1b-5b12-92bd-593f7d3ec94c.html

Quote: "Officials say the truck was on fire with the man inside, apparently unconscious. That's when another man and woman ran over and pulled the man out. The good Samaritan tells 10/11 the unconscious man's clothes were on fire, so he pulled them off. Moments later, the truck was engulfed in flames."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is not only highly reactive and explosively flammable, it can knock you unconscious or even dead with one breath. A young engaged couple burned to death in their vehicle in McFarland (Wisconsin), as mentioned in the 2013-01-01 update. They'd probably been knocked unconscious by hydrogen sulfide, which also ignited their vehicle, and they just sat there unconscious and burned to death. That's exactly what would have happened to this man if people hadn't pulled him out of his truck; he would've ended up in the corpses section, along with the other two people in this day's update who burned to death in or near their burning vehicles. Burning to death in vehicles will become increasingly common as time goes on. It is already becoming more common...

http://newstrib.com/main.asp?SectionID=2&SubSectionID=29&ArticleID=32728

Quote: "As near as we can tell, a semi caught on fire in their truck shop. It must have burned during the night. Basically it smothered itself is what it looked like happened..."

Note: So, another non-running vehicle spontaneously igniting. That's why it's dangerous to park vehicles next to anything you don't want to burn, like your home: all vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time...

Quote: "A fire at a scrap metal recycling facility near the Port of Redwood City was brought under control Sunday evening, but firefighters remained on scene trying to fully extinguish it, officials said."

 

Quote: "Residents in southern San Mateo County and northern Santa Clara County who can smell or see smoke were advised to stay indoors, close their windows and turn off any systems that circulate outside air, emergency officials said."

 

Note: First link, nice video, but mute the sound else risk your sanity. From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers."

http://www.vietmaz.com/2013/11/fire-breaks-out-in-cargo-ship-container/#.UoCUbOIqihh

Quote: "A floating container from a Republic of Korea ship that sank off the coast of Vung Tau burst into flames on Saturday."

Note: A cargo ship collided with another ship and sank a few days back and this is one of the cargo containers from that ship, which apparently just burst into flame while floating in the ocean. The vast majority of those cargo containers are steel, which rusts, and hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel. (There are aluminum cargo containers too, but they cost more and don't hold as much sheer weight, so they're not nearly as common as the steel ones.)

2013-11-10 - Passenger plane engine bursts into flame, plane makes emergency landing in Bangor (Maine):

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VIV-20131112-41605-USA

Quote: "After take off today, 11/10/13 at the Bangor International Airport, Allegiant Airlines was forced to turn around and return to Bangor. All passengers and crew were safe but Allegiant was unable to reschedule another flight today. Why has this not been on the news? It was quite serious. In fact, there have been multiple 'engine fires' on Allegiant planes since 2010. This needs serious investigation."

Note: It's not just Allegiant planes catching fire. Actually, it's not just planes bursting into flame, but all vehicles...

Note: I mentioned the previous bus fire in Acocks Green, also in a double-decker, in the 2013-11-01 update. Nice video, first link. Two more minutes and that bus might've been toast, but firefighters got on it pretty fast. The previous double-decker bus to burst into flame anywhere was waaay back in...the day prior, in Tarro (Australia), as mentioned in the 2013-11-09 update...

Note: Well, I guess that settles that. If they'd only parked their vehicles away from each other they'd probably still have one...

Quote: "Police and fire crews were sent to Sutherland Avenue at 2.24am, and then three minutes later, firefighters were sent to deal with another vehicle fire in Marine Drive."

Note: That's a sign of one or more flammable gas plumes blowing through the area, igniting here and there as they go. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any flammable hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground. Just imagine when it's not just a couple of cars igniting but dozens, or hundreds...

He said smoke drifted into residential sections of the neighborhood, creating something akin to a metallic-tasting 'fog' in the air."

http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2013/11/nitric_acid_explosion_in_falls_township_pa_burns_two_workers_at_denture_manufacturer_fire_officials.html

Note: Nitric acid isn't terribly dangerous by itself. However, if any gaseous hydrogen sulfide meets liquid nitric acid then the result can be an explosion and/or fire. I mentioned this very problem just 3 days prior, when a beaker exploded in a chemistry lab in coastal Boca Raton (Florida), in the 2013-11-04 update. I'll quote myself: "Hydrogen sulfide is explosively reactive with numerous chemicals. Leave an open beaker of, say, nitric acid laying around and if any hydrogen sulfide blows in through a window or AC system...boom!" And now here we are, nitric acid and an explosion. This isn't the first mysterious explosion/fire involving nitric acid...

Note: Five parked cars just went up in flames at a different parking lot at 4:15 AM in Orlando the day prior, as mentioned in the 2013-11-06 update. Being downwind of the Gulf of Mexico and surrounded on three sides by ocean waters means that Florida is going to be hit hard by fires, explosions, and people and animals sickening and dying.

2013-11-06 - Electrical explosion and fire takes one unit offline at nuclear plant in Shippingport (Pennsylvania):

http://www.post-gazette.com/local/2013/11/06/Minor-fire-closes-one-unit-at-Shippingport-nuclear-plant/stories/201311060153
http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20131106/NEWS90/131109752/-1/rss01

 

Quote: "A Beaver County nuclear power plant remains offline today as workers with FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co. check damage from an explosion and electrical wiring fire that broke out Tuesday evening."

 

Note: Much like all the 'electrical fires' hitting vehicles, but on a bigger scale, with greater effects. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. It's also a heavier-than-air gas and will tend to accumulate in low-lying areas when the wind isn't blowing it on. All nuclear plants require water for cooling, meaning they are all near a low-lying area; that's why the water is there - water is also obviously heavier than air. This nuclear plant is right next to the Ohio River. The huge new multi-billion-dollar NSA complex in Utah can't function now because electrical units outside the facility keep mysteriously exploding and burning, as mentioned in the 2013-10-08 update. An underground electrical fire just hit coastal Manhattan (New York), as mentioned in the 2013-11-04 update.

 

It's not hard to extrapolate out with this problem. If we could stop the atmospheric contamination problem, we would have done it before it had gathered such momentum. Since we didn't stop the problem when it was weaker, we certainly can't stop it NOW. So it will get worse and worse and worse, like an invisible tidal wave of doom rising around us. Complete electrical grid collapse? The US government is training for just that, this month, GridEx II, as mentioned in the 2013-10-18 update. Sounds like some prudent training to me.

Note: You don't want to put anything flammable next to any rusty iron/steel, else when some hydrogen sulfide blows by, the reaction with the rust may send sparks blowing onto the flammable stuff, and then you have a fire...

Note: I mentioned that fire in the 2013-10-28 update. Upholstered furniture is dangerous on porches and balconies. It's outside, fully exposed to the atmosphere. The fabric and stuffing and wood will absorb hydrogen sulfide and/or methane. The nails and screws that hold it together will rust and then the rust with react with any hydrogen sulfide blowing by and then a spark hits the flammable couch material and you have a fire. And then, to make things even worse, the fire is outside so smoke detectors may not pick it up until the outside is fully involved and by then escape may be a problem...

Note: I see why the US government is drilling for a large-scale electrical grid failure this month - GridEx II - as mentioned in the 2013-10-18 update.

You can pick up a pack of those solar-powered garden lights, cheap...

http://www.boston.com/news/local/new-hampshire/2013/11/04/inn-undergoing-renovations-catches-fire/o8aLh37nImPxkSCMBUKZnN/story.html

Quote: "No one was inside the Nestlenook Farm bed and breakfast on Dinsmore Road at 9 p.m. when the fire was spotted."

Note: And yet another building spontaneously igniting. Any building with electrified copper (wiring) or rusty iron (nails, brackets, pipes, etc) in it is vulnerable to spontaneous ignition. And these fires may start very small, a little spark lands on something flammable, and then the fire grows. It doesn't take long for a little fire to become an inferno, and if nobody's around then that's all the more likely...

2013-11-02 - Underground electrical fire breaks out in coastal Santa Barbara (California):

http://www.edhat.com/site/tidbit.cfm?nid=124036

 

Note: Underground electrical fires and explosions have been steadily increasing in frequency as the atmospheric contamination proceeds. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will tend to accumulate in low-lying areas like underground facilities, basements, ditches, ravines, canyons, valleys, creeks, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, seas, etc. It is also a highly flammable gas and it is reactive with rusty iron/steel and copper, especially electrified copper, like that found in underground electrical facilities as well as wiring in vehicles and buildings...

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Ammo depots will be hit with explosions and fires, including the civilian versions like fireworks factories." And indeed, there have been many explosions at fireworks factories and ammo depots. One of the largest such events so far was when 8 million pounds of shells exploded near Orenburg (Russia), creating a huge mushroom cloud and causing entire towns to evacuate, as mentioned in the 2012-10-09 update...

http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/news/local/pallet-truck-fire-started-by-battery-1-6207658

Quote: "Fire crews from Alfreton and Ripley were called out at 6.30am on the same day to a fuseboard that was smouldering in a building in Upper Hartshay in Heage."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground. (For those who have wondered why they chemtrail at night, it may very well be for this reason - to create a kind of barrier between the ground and gases in the atmosphere above, to try to prevent catastrophic fires and explosions.)

http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20131101/NEWS/131039934/-1/NEWS

 

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will seek out low-lying areas like underground electrical vaults, sewers, basements, underground car parks, ditches, ravines, valleys, canyons, ponds, streams, creeks, lakes, seas, quays, etc. It is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. As a consequence, there have been a rising number of incidents just like this one, including some explosions/fires that have ignited vehicles parked on the street. Might wanna walk around manholes and grates and not park your vehicle(s) near them...
