Event Update For 2013-12-26

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.

2013-12-26 - 'Strange odor' hits hamlet of Plainview in the Town of Oyster Bay, on Long Island (New York), blamed on landfill:

http://www.facebook.com/News12LI/posts/10151974361283551
http://longisland.news12.com/news/officials-110-sand-company-landfill-is-likely-source-of-strange-odor-near-old-bethpage-village-restoration-1.6674883

 

Quote: "Officials are reporting complaints of a methane gas smell."

 

Quote: "Prior to realizing there was a widespread odor in Plainview I thought one of my parents was making hard boiled eggs or something at 10:00 last night, because that's the time I started to smell the horrible stench."

 

Note: Derp. Methane is odorless, so nobody was smelling methane. That odor was very likely hydrogen sulfide and they may be right about the cause being the landfill, as landfills are traditional sources of hydrogen sulfide (and methane). But then again, this is a coastal area, so hydrogen sulfide may be blowing in off the ocean too. In June 2013, the City of Roxbury (New Jersey) began drawing up evacuation plans because of hydrogen sulfide from a nearby landfill, as mentioned in the 2013-06-14 update. A rotten egg odor was wafting in from the ocean in Quincy (Massachusetts), as mentioned in the 2013-05-09 update. The Inner Harbor suddenly changed color to milky-white-green in coastal Baltimore, with a sulfur odor smelled, and all the fish there were found dead, as mentioned in the 2013-07-18 update. Regardless of the source, residents should be quite concerned, because hydrogen sulfide is a gas-chamber-quality poison gas. If people there start coming down with 'flu-like' illnesses, start experiencing nosebleeds, weird skin rashes, headaches, dizziness, etc, then they're being poisoned...

Quote: "The driver pulled the bus over on the 300 block of 2nd Street SW in front of Mayo Clinic's Guggenheim Building in the downtown campus, and a roaring fire could be seen in the right rear wheel well. Rochester Fire Dept. Asst. Fire Marshal Larry Mueller said the fire appeared to be in the rear brakes of the large bus, and he said everyone evacuated safely. Police blocked off the area on 2nd Street SW so that Pulver Towing could bring in a huge flatbed truck to haul away the bus, but an hour and a half later, they still couldn't get the bus to move at all."

2013-12-26 - Tractor trailer bursts into flame at 4:58 AM at grocery store in The Dalles (Washington):
http://www.thedalleschronicle.com/news/2013/dec/26/truck-fire-dalles-destroys-groceries/

Quote: "Cause of the fire was determined to be failure of the brake system on the trailer. He said his gauges indicated all was OK, but he pulled off the freeway at Exit 83. As he was coming off the ramp, he could see smoke in the lights of the exit. On further examination, the driver saw fire in the tires and attempted unsuccessfully to put it out with his fire extinguisher."

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."

http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/Vehicles-damaged-car-Plymouth/story-20371233-detail/story.html

Quote: "Mr Lane said accelerants were used to start the fire, and arson was suspected."

Note: They sound exactly like the cops in Norwich (Vermont). Three parked police cars went up in flames there, as mentioned in the 2012-11-22 update. They too said it was arson and that an accelerant was used, but then they changed their tune and said the fire was accidental. Police stations often have surveillance cameras, so they must have reviewed their surveillance camera footage and they SAW those three cars spontaneously ignite. But they were right about there being an accelerant involved: both methane and hydrogen sulfide are highly flammable, which means they are accelerants. Hydrogen sulfide is also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like vehicle wiring, and rusty iron/steel, which all vehicles have. So, seeing as cops and firemen appear to be completely clueless about what's happening, you have to take their 'arson' assumptions with a very large shaker full of salt. Motive, witness, surveillance footage? Nope, they got nothin' but an assumption here. Sorry, but that's not good enough, not these days...

Quote: "Stacey Johnson says they did have smoke alarms, but they didn't go off until the fire made it inside their home. The Johnsons say it originally started outside near the porch. Firefighters say they think it started at some sort of outlet."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like wiring in outlets. Outdoor outlets are fully exposed to the atmosphere and these fires that start outside like this one can be very dangerous because the indoor smoke detectors may not go off until the fire gets inside, which is what happened in this case. A passer-by alerted them to the fire, else this family might have been seriously injured or killed...

2013-12-26 - Multi-million-dollar home destroyed by fire at 2:45 AM on Waterfall Lane on coastal Spring Island (South Carolina):
http://www.islandpacket.com/2013/12/26/2865325/okatie-home-destroyed-by-fire.html

Quote: "The market value of the 6.83-acre property was nearly $2.9 million, according to county records."

Note: Seems pretty pricey for a home on an island on a coastline, on a road called Waterfall Lane, with 2.5 gigatons of methane dissociating off the coast there...

2013-12-26 - Man, 56, drops dead on couch on porch in coastal Hayward (California):
http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_24797186/man-found-dead-couch-front-yard-hayward-home
http://www.timesheraldonline.com/news/ci_24797187/man-found-dead-couch-front-yard-hayward-home

Note: A home was recently destroyed by an explosion and fire in Hayward too, before 5 AM, as mentioned in the 2013-12-13 update. Because of the rotation of the Earth, winds tend to flow west-to-east, so California and all of the West Coast are getting hit by hydrogen sulfide and methane belching from the Pacific Ocean. That doesn't mean you'd be hugely safer farther inland though - the gases don't stop at the West Coast; they keep on blowing onward...

2013-12-26 - Watchman found dead next to swimming pool, blood oozing from nose, in Narsingi (India):
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/DK-farmhouse-watchman-found-dead/articleshow/28023201.cms

Quote: "Police said Sivanand may have consumed poison."

Note: More likely he BREATHED some poison. A growing number of people have been found dead like this, with blood oozing from nose, mouth and/or ears. Hydrogen sulfide poisoning can cause bleeding from nose, mouth and/or ears, though more commonly you just stop being able to breathe and your heart then stops, which looks exactly like 'natural causes', like that guy who dropped dead while sitting on the couch in coastal Hayward (California), and the man who dropped dead in the cemetery in Richmond (Virginia)...
