Event Update For 2014-01-14

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.

2014-01-14 - HazMat event, dozens of students sicken from 'landfill gas' at school in Cortland (Illinois):

http://www.topix.com/city/cortland-il/2014/01/landfill-odor-sickens-students-staff-at-cortland-elementary

 

Quote: "Despite school officials' efforts, 63 students and staff reported headaches, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms and went to Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb. About 530 students attend Cortland Elementary,"

 

Quote: "William Zaver watched fellow students in his fourth-grade class develop sore throats after the overpowering odor moved through the school Tuesday morning. 'I saw three people in my class get sick,' 10-year-old William said. 'It smelled a lot like gas.'"

 

Note: By 'smelled a lot like gas', he means the 'rotten egg' odor of mercaptan, which is added to natural gas so that it has any smell at all. Hydrogen sulfide also smells like 'rotten eggs' at low concentrations, so people will confuse the two smells. Landfills are traditional sources of hydrogen sulfide and the symptoms mentioned are all symptoms associated with low-level hydrogen sulfide poisoning. (People don't survive hydrogen sulfide poisoning if the concentration is higher than 1 part per thousand.)

Quote: "...a fire on the small Kimball Island between San Francisco and Sacramento engulfed at least one of the island's 20 buildings and was threatening others, Solano County fire dispatcher Robyn Rains said. The U.S. Coast Guard was helping with evacuations, and Delta Fire Protection District crews had difficulty getting to the blaze because the site is was only accessible by boat."

Quote: "In Los Angeles, a SuperScooper aircraft dumped tons of water on streams of flame that rolled up a steep cliff side along Pacific Coast Highway in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday afternoon. The flames crept within feet of multimillion-dollar cliff-top homes, but none were damaged."

Quote: "Earlier, more than 100 firefighters and two helicopters responded when a large house caught fire in the Chatsworth area of the San Fernando Valley..."

Quote: "In Southern California, flames were spread by 25 mph winds across a 2-acre property in Riverside County's Jurupa Valley and destroyed two houses, two mobile homes, three motor homes, 40 vehicles in different states of repair and about a dozen small structures, state fire Capt. Lucas Spelman said. Two more mobile homes were damaged. Alejandro Heredia fled with his 3-year-old child, 15-day-old baby and dog when palm trees began burning in a field behind his home."

Note: Sounds like the palm trees may have spontaneously combusted. They have rubbery 'skin', which will absorb atmospheric methane and hydrogen sulfide until they spontaneously combust. A palm tree burst into flame near an RV park in Lake Havasu City (Arizona), as mentioned in the 2012-08-26 update, and multiple palm trees burst into flame near the Marina Mall in coastal Kuwait, as mentioned in the 2012-07-23 update. There've been a few other palm tree-related fires too. I don't go out of my way looking for those, but I pay attention now when they're mentioned.

Look at these fires: one on a coastal island, one along a coastal highway, two in valleys near the coast. These are exactly the kinds of fires we should expect as flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide blow in off the Pacific Ocean. Watch how bad things get once fire season begins again...

Quote: "Freight conversion trailers are used as livestock straight trailers from Canada into the U.S. After unloaded, they are rinsed, cleaned, and sanitized. Once clean, they transform into a full 53 foot dry freight trailer, with the dimensions being slight larger than a 53 foot reefer. (101.5” high, 98.5” wide and 53 feet long). These units can carry up to 43,500 loaded pounds in the USA and 48,500 pounds in Canada."

Note: They use the term 'livestock trucks', but I looked at their website and they're tractor trailers, with the trailers being specialized with air vents and stalls and such for transporting live animals...

Note: This was a $9.7 million project that went up in flames here. From the full hypothesis: "So far as homes are concerned, vacant homes, unoccupied homes and homes under construction will burn hardest and first but the number of occupied homes burning will also be increasing." 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...

2014-01-14 - New type of US Navy ship is made out of aluminum:

Quote: "The expansive ship is a large catamaran made of aluminum that can carry 600 tons about 1,200 nautical miles."

Note: And Ford is converting to aluminum from steel for F-150 truck bodies, as mentioned in the 2014-01-12 update. Steel rusts, and rusty steel/iron is reactive with hydrogen sulfide. Maybe the US Navy and Ford don't want to deal with so many fires and explosions...
