Event Update For 2014-02-19

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.

Note: Possibly a genetic chimera, a blending of two species, perhaps dog and human. It definitely has some humanoid characteristics. They better hope that A) it isn't highly carnivorous; and B) that there isn't a breeding colony of these established nearby...

 

2014-02-19 - Strange 'alien' creatures appear in waters in Kien Giang (Vietnam), kill fish:

http://english.vietnamnet.vn/fms/environment/95803/alien-creatures-kill-fish-in-kien-giang.html

 

Quote: "Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh, Director of the Kien Giang Aquaculture Department, said that the strange creatures are as big as fingers, 10-15cm long, with a lot of mucilage on the body. They cling around the fish cages in the island communes of Hon Tre, Lai Son, Nam Du and An Son in Kien Hai District. The toxin produced by these creatures makes fish blind, weaken and finally die."

 

Note: These things could also be genetic chimeras, but what two species they may be a combination of, I have no idea. Doesn't sound too good for the local fishing industry there. Looks like Mother Nature is ramping up her genetic blending capabilities as the planetary environment degrades, and there's no predicting what we'll see or where, though many chimeras will have a human component if for no other reason than that we are everywhere. Also, species that are partially human will tend to be smarter, which is a survival trait, so odds are that we'll see a lot of human-something combos, like human-dog, human-lizard, human-bear, human-pig, human-rabbit, human-wolf, human-fish, etc. These creatures are not likely to be particularly friendly...

The home in the 400 block of N. Lakewood Ave. was destroyed — a wall crumbled and two floors collapsed."

Not good enough. Via Wiki: "The Fens, also known as the Fenland, is a naturally marshy region in eastern England. Most of the fens were drained several centuries ago, resulting in a flat, damp, low-lying agricultural region."

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=VIV-20140220-42760-IND

Quote: "A British Airways Boeing 747-400, registration G-BNLW performing flight BA-257 (dep Feb 19th) from London Heathrow,EN (UK) to Delhi (India), landed on Delhi's runway 10 but became disabled due to overheated brakes causing a number of tyres to deflate while taxiing to the apron."
