Event Update For 2014-02-17





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.

2014-02-17 - Underground electrical explosion and fire causes evacuations in Islington area of coastal London (Britain):

Quote: "Flames erupted through paving slabs on a London pavement as commuters made their way to work on Monday morning, cause firefighters to evacuate 50 people from the area. The explosion came from a fault under an electrical manhole cover outside a branch of Iceland on Caledonian Road in Islington, according to the Islington Gazette."
 
Quote: "Last April, a pedestrian narrowly escaped being seriously injured after a explosion beneath a road in Pimlico saw flames rocketing up above the pavement, only metres from where he was standing."
 
Note: This area is just northeast (downwind) of the River Thames...

2014-02-17 - Dozens of power poles burst into flame in coastal Melbourne (Australia), 10000+ homes go dark:

http://www.savecentral.com.au/news/power-pole-fires-disrupt-electricity-in-melbourne-should-we-move-to-underground-power
 
Note: I saw some people speculating that a big solar flare caused these fires. If that were the case then it wouldn't just be Melbourne that got hit like this. The official explanation is dry weather and dust followed by rain, yet Sydney has experienced those conditions many times and this never happened, so that too seems implausible. Some hydrogen sulfide, probably mixed with methane, might just blow over one city like this though, and that may very well have not ever happened before, at least to this degree, so that would explain a not-seen-before event like this that affected only one region, which, not coincidentally, is right on the coast...

2014-02-17 - Man's clothes ignite as he burns trash, in Goodlettsville (Tennessee), 1 killed:

http://www.wsmv.com/story/24740621/goodlettsville-man-is-critically-burned-after-trash-fire-blows-out-of-control

Note: Clothes are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane (as are other absorbent materials). Then they can ignite very easily, even in some cases via static electricity, and these fires burn hot and will cause serious burn injuries. It might be wise to watch where you store your clothes (on the floor in a basement is probably the worst place), and watch where you spend your time when outdoors too...

2014-02-17 - Residential building explodes, car flips over, near Taksim Square in coastal Istanbul (Turkey), 2+ injured:

Quote: "Most residential buildings in central Istanbul use gas for heating and cooking and explosions caused by leaks are not uncommon, although they are rarely so damaging."

Note: How do they know the explosion didn't cause the gas leak? They don't, they're just guessing. I lived in Turkey for 14 months (in Izmir, also on the coast, south of Istanbul) and in that time I heard of exactly zero gas explosions. The times, they are a-changin'...

Quote: "Brad Salen, who said he lives a few doors down at 18600 Warm Springs Court, said he was inside his house when he heard what sounded like an explosion. 'It was a rumble like an earthquake or a jet flying over,' he said. Salen said he ran outside and noticed the doors had been blown off the trailer. He said Boyer was conscious and alert but had suffered burns to his head and upper body."

'The garage was in order with nothing out of the ordinary when the foreman turned off the lights and locked the door,' Fire Chief Sean Galipeau said. Firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke. He said it took a half-hour to knock out the fire. There were no injuries, though the plow truck was a total loss."

Quote: "About 20 feet of irrigation pipe burned..."

Note: Similar to the various marsh and bog and swamp fires. Both methane and hydrogen sulfide are water-soluble, so if enough dissolves into water then the water itself may become flammable (like all the people who've demonstrated flammable tapwater in their homes in the last few years). Hydrogen sulfide is also reactive with rusty iron/steel - like possibly that irrigation pipe - which could then cause a spark and ignite contaminated water and/or ground level gas...
