Event Update For 2014-02-11





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.

2014-02-11 - Update on ball-bearing plant explosion in Peterborough (New Hampshire): caused by nitric acid:

http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/02/12/explosion-investigation-focuses-acid-room/34QDa0KLtlw3pZWPZCPa0K/story.html
 
Note: A nitric acid fire hit a chemical plant in December 2013 in Tulsa (Oklahoma), mentioned in the 2013-12-19 update. A nitric acid explosion recently damaged a business too, in November 2013, in Falls Township (Pennsylvania), injuring 2 people, as mentioned in the 2013-11-07 update. 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 problem a few months back, 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!"

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers."

2014-02-11 - Large dive boat 'MV Bunmee' bursts into flame, burns and sinks, off the coast of Ko Lanta District (Thailand):
http://www.thephuketnews.com/20-rescued-as-third-dive-boat-sinks-off-phuket-44571.php

Quote: "The Phuket News has learned that 15 French tourists were rescued after the dive boat they were on caught fire and sank around 60km southwest of Koh Lanta on February 1 – the third dive boat to sink in the past three weeks."

Quote: "The sinking has been kept very quiet until now, with rumours but no facts circulating in dive industry circles."

Note: Interesting, and some rare decent journalism here. Sounds like 'someone' doesn't want people to realize how many boats are burning up nowadays. Might hurt tourism and all that. Of course, the fires themselves may hurt or kill actual TOURISTS, but that may be secondary to some people...

    (From an old Three Stooges episode where they're pretending to be plumbers at some mansion and the cook exclaims, after seeing a light bulb in the ceiling fill up
    with water) "This place has show gone crazy!"
