Quote: "Smoke could be seen 15 miles away. Residents reported hearing at least six explosions. 'I looked out the window and all of a sudden the train car tipped over and the whole thing was engulfed in flames and it just exploded,' said 13-year-old Hannah Linnard, who was at her friend's house about half a mile from the derailment."

2013-12-29 - Van's brakes fail, van hits car, plunges down embankment, bursts into flame, in Auburn (California), 1 killed, 6 injured:
http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/dec/29/1-killed-6-injured-in-northern-calif-van-crash/

Quote: "California Highway Patrol Officer Chris Nave said people were returning from a trip to Reno on Interstate 80 Sunday when the brakes in Chevy Astro apparently gave out."

Note: Note the brake failure on the tour bus near the coast in Thailand too. Tires and brake pads are absorbing hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, an unusual amount of heat is generated, because hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. Then bad things can happen: brakes burn out or ignite, tires explode or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This problem hits massive vehicles the worst, but no vehicle is immune. This particular vehicle was a Chevy Astro van hauling a number of people, so fairly massive. Don't count on your brakes working when you need them to work...

2013-12-21 - Passenger bus loses brakes, hits tree, in coastal Pintuyan (Philippine Islands), 54 injured:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VI-20131222-42016-PHL

Quote: "Initial investigation of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Pintuyan showed that the bus had trouble with its brake system, causing the driver to crash the vehicle into a tree in a saddle point in Barangay Son-ok at around 2:30 p.m."

Note: Tire rubber and brake pads are absorbing hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, an unusual amount of heat is generated, 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. This problem affects massive vehicles - like buses - the worst, but no vehicle is immune. Trees and buildings are becoming our 'brakes of last resort'...

2013-12-19 - Plane lands, nose gear collapses, at airport in Juba (South Sudan):
http://allafrica.com/stories/201312191095.html

Quote: "...observers said the front wheel appeared to have collapsed and the tail was up."

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."

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/12/19/california-bus-crashes/4136401/

Quote: "In a weird coincidence, two tour buses heading to or from casinos overturned on Interstate 15 tens of miles apart and within the same hour on Thursday afternoon, killing one person and injuring dozens. One bus crashed at about 2:30 p.m. on I-15 north of Fallbrook in northern San Diego County, killing one person and injuring 20 others..."

Quote: "A second tour bus overturned shortly after 2 p.m. on I-15 in Corona, injuring 30 people."

Note: Near the coast, same timeframe, same general area, same atmosphere. I wouldn't be so sure this is merely coincidence...

http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/408484-peru-bus-crash-in-mayorarca-ancash-kills-15-injures-58/

Note: The above two events do seem to be separate incidents, the first one 170 miles from Lima, the second one 134 miles from Lima, so about 36 miles from each other. This area is right on Peru's west coast. Like the tour buses overturning near the coast in California, I also doubt that these two bus crashes in Peru are a coincidence...

It was also gathered that nine persons; including three underage girls sustained various degrees of injuries and were admitted at Takai General Hospital for treatment, while eight women were among the dead persons."

Quote: "The stunning scene unfolded when an out-of-control car rear-ended a gas truck at a red light near Newbridge Road in Bellmore just before midnight, overturning the truck and spewing 7,000 gallons of fuel onto the streets — sparking flames as high as 20-feet, according to reports."

Quote: "The thundering collision and subsequent wreck damaged 12 parked cars and four homes nearby, ABC7 reported. Fuel coated the streets and flames stretched to a nearby Auto Zone and Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealership, Newsday reported."

Quote: "Rescuers said they fought through an inferno as the exteriors of five homes began melting away. A dozen cars also exploded."

Note: Whew, quite the crash and fire! Some spectacular pics in the links. This is why I mentioned that you don't wanna be living near roads or train tracks where large amounts of flammable fuels or chemicals are transported, not with all the mammoth fiery accidents going on these days...

Hawkins said he and other neighbors stared in shock as the plane became a huge fireball in the woods, narrowly missing houses."

http://sandiego.cityandpress.com/node/7199169

Quote: "The driver told deputies that he lost brake control in the big rig and slammed into a tree."

Note: Looks like trees and buildings are now our 'backup brakes'. Tires and brake pads are absorbing hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, bad things can happen: brakes burn out or ignite, tires ignite or explode, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This problem affects massive vehicles the worst, like tractor trailers, tanker trucks, dump trucks, buses, big RVs, pickups and SUVs towing heavy stuff, etc, but no vehicle is immune...

http://fox2now.com/2013/12/03/st-louis-native-dies-in-plane-crash-in-puerto-rico/

Quote: "On Monday night, Steven and a co-pilot were flying a cargo plane from the Dominican Republic along Puerto Rico`s north coast when somehow the plane made a rapid decent and crashed, there were no survivors."

Note: There've been quite a few plane crashes where the plane nosedives into the ground. I suspect that in at least some of those cases, the pilot is falling unconscious or being struck dead, then he or she slumps over the wheel, which sends the plane into a steep dive...
