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.

Note: More electrified copper igniting. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. The US gubment has trained for a widespread grid failure, and this is why. Oh sure, that'd be useful in the event that we get hit by an EMP or solar flare too, but those are just possibilities - this copper reactivity problem is ongoing. It's actually worse than an EMP or solar flare too. An EMP would hit a geographic region. A solar flare might hit half the planet. Atmospheric contamination will affect the ENTIRE planet, and it'll just continue to worsen, likely for thousands of years. Living humans will have long since abandoned the surface of the Earth by then though, either voluntarily by relocating, or involuntarily by dying...

2014-01-08 - Mysterious explosions rattle residents in Fond du Lac (Wisconsin), near Lake Winnebago:

http://journaltimes.com/news/state-and-regional/explosion-like-sounds-rattle-residents/article_515ee9a2-6026-5055-8107-30c6bdc2eeba.html
Quote: "The series of explosion-like sounds rattled residents from Waupun, Campbellsport and elsewhere Tuesday and sent Fond du Lac County sheriff’s deputies out looking for a cause. Geologists say the booms were likely a phenomenon commonly known as an ice quake. It’s caused by water that sinks into the soil and bedrock where it freezes and expands, causing an explosive popping sound that feels like a mild earthquake."
Note: That'd almost sound believable, except these mysterious explosions didn't happen like this in previous years, and it was also happening in the spring, summer and fall when there were no freezing temps. Also, some of these mysterious explosions are accompanied by a 'flash of light' in the sky, and this 'ice quake' story doesn't even begin to explain that...

Quote: "At around 4:15 a.m., the truck was heading south on Interstate 5, just south of Woodbridge Road, when one of the tires blew and caught fire. The fire spread to the axle, then to the trailer and finally to the cab of the truck."
Note: The tire probably exploded BECAUSE it was on fire. 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." Also see the horrifying tanker truck fire and explosion in coastal Lagos (Nigeria), caused by brake failure, in the accidents section...

The Coast Guard, Virginia Beach Fire Department and Navy continued Wednesday night to search for another sailor who'd been aboard the fallen aircraft. Two sailors who had been rescued were in stable condition at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital..."

Quote: "A trader at the spare parts market, who simply identified himself as Onyema, told the Nigerian Tribune that the truck was coming from Kirikiri when it had brake failure, while efforts by the driver to halt its movement caused it to tumble."
Quote: "A branch of a bank in the area, four buildings and about 15 vehicles were completely burnt, while three other houses were partly burnt in the inferno."
Note: Another brake failure in a massive vehicle. 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: tires ignite or explode, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This problem hits massive vehicles the worst - like tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, buses, big RVs, etc - but no vehicle is immune...
