Event Update For 2014-03-05

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.

2014-03-05 - Mysterious explosion shakes homes and rattles residents around Evanston (Canada):

http://globalnews.ca/news/1187727/huge-blast-shakes-northwest-neighbourhoods/
http://calgary.ctvnews.ca/expert-says-seismic-monitoring-station-offline-during-explosion-1.1714833
http://www.660news.com/2014/03/04/northwest-residents-left-rattled-after-mysterious-boom/

 

Quote: "Police and the fire department have investigated, but haven’t turned up anything so far."

 

Quote: "A number of other unexplained explosions occurred in Southern Ontario in January. The people who heard them described them as a loud noise that shook their homes, leading them to believe something had hit their house."

 

Quote: "The loud noise happened around 5 p.m. and could be felt in communities like Hidden Valley, Silver Springs, Ranchlands, Edgemont and Hawkwood. Calls flooded into 911, with people reporting a shockwave that shook their homes."

 

Note: These mysterious explosions really started escalating around the world a couple of years ago, right as methane began seriously spewing into the atmosphere, and right as events involving 'rotten egg' odors began escalating. Not a coincidence. Both methane and hydrogen sulfide are explosively flammable and as the atmospheric contamination intensifies, more fires and explosions are to be expected. Eventually these explosions may rival the small nuclear explosion that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus the radiation, unless an explosion takes out a nuclear plant, many of which are located on coasts and all of which are near bodies of water for cooling...

2014-03-05 - Massive explosion rocks ammo warehouse in coastal Jakarta (Indonesia), at least 1 killed, 87 injured:
http://www.voanews.com/content/warehouse-explosion-in-indonesia-kills-1-injures-87/1864872.html

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Ammo depots will be hit with explosions and fires, including the civilian versions like fireworks factories."

2014-03-05 - Transformer bursts into flame at nuclear plant in coastal Fukui Prefecture (Japan):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=NC-20140305-42911-JPN
http://www.nuclearpowerdaily.com/reports/Fire_hits_Japan_nuke_plant_no_radiation_leaks_operator_999.html
http://www.dawn.com/news/1091282/fire-hits-japans-nuke-plant
http://ewallstreeter.com/national-fire-hits-fukui-nuclear-plant-but-no-radiation-leaks-6428

Quote: "A minor fire broke out at a nuclear power plant in western Japan on Wednesday but there was no fear of a radiation leak, a utility spokesman said. An electricity transformer caught fire at the No. 3 reactor at Takahama plant in Fukui, said a Kansai Electric Power spokesman, adding the blaze was rapidly brought under control. 'No one was injured and there was no impact from the incident - such as a radiation leak - on the outside environment,' he added."

Note: I hope this isn't one of those deals where a 'minor' problem is revealed later to be a massive world-threatening event. Not that Japan has a history of downplaying the seriousness of nuclear situations or anything. *cough cough*

2014-03-05 - Underground electrical fire hits Ilford (Britain), some businesses and homes go dark:
http://www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/news/electrical_fire_leaves_ilford_homes_and_shops_without_power_1_3397959

Quote: "At around 10.00pm last night crews from Ilford Fire Station attended a fire below a manhole cover. UK Power Network engineers are still working to restore power to customers in the Empress Avenue area."

2014-03-05 - Refrigerator explodes at 2:45 AM at university building in coastal Tampa (Florida):

http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/story/24889865/2014/03/05/small-explosion-creates-a-scare-at-usf

Quote: "The Tampa Fire Rescue Hazardous Material team responded to the Research and Innovation building at the University of South Florida early Wednesday morning. It happened around 2:45 a.m. on campus at 3802 Spectrum Blvd. Students working in an adjacent lab said they called 911 after hearing an explosion. Tampa Fire Public Information Officer Jason Penny said the explosion happened in a refrigerator in the lab."

2014-03-05 - Chemical plant hit by fire just before 1 AM in North Caddo Parish (Louisiana):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=FR-20140305-42915-USA
http://www.kplctv.com/story/24888559/fire-at-n-caddo-chemical-plant-under-control
http://www.newsrt.us/news/fire-damages-plant-in-caddo-parish-1404740.html

Quote: "Cotton says the Mooringsport plant produces chemicals and catalysts, which are used in speeding up a chemical reaction."

Note: Possibly another nitric acid fire. Nitric acid is used as a catalyst and it is reactive with hydrogen sulfide too. There've been a number of suspicious nitric-acid-related fires and explosions...

2014-03-05 - Scrap cars burst into flame at auto salvage business in St. Louis (Missouri), near the Mississippi River:
http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/fire-damages-cars-building-at-hillsdale-salvage-lot/article_1a667585-89a3-5d2f-9784-fff7270fcf61.html

Quote: "Employees of Brock Auto Parts and Recycling await the arrival of firefighters after cars caught fire in the salvage yard on Kienlen Avenue in Hillsdale on Wednesday, March 5, 2014."

Note: 3.9 miles from...me! Still not as close as the lakeside restaurant that burned in Forest Park last month though, and nowhere near as close as the two fires that broke out before 5 AM in the trash area behind the hotel-restaurant a block from me in December...

2014-03-05 - Trash transfer station erupts in flame in the Town of Ledgeview (Wisconsin):
http://www.wbay.com/story/24891438/2014/03/05/fire-at-veolia-environmental-services

2014-03-05 - Israeli Defense Forces military headquarters erupts in flame in coastal Tel Aviv (Israel):
http://www.jpost.com/National-News/Fire-at-Kirya-Military-Headquarters-344329

Quote: "Located in central Tel Aviv, the Kirya is the main IDF and Defense Ministry headquarters. The fire caused many residents of the city to panic when they saw black clouds of smoke rising above the building."

Note: Late in 2012, Israeli researchers found hundreds of underwater 'gas springs' bubbling in the sea near there, as mentioned in the 2012-11-12 update. That's very probably methane, and possibly some hydrogen sulfide too (since the ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide also eat methane). Also relevant, in late spring of 2012, a 'mysterious smell' hit central Israel and sickened people, as mentioned in the 2012-05-03 update. Methane is odorless, so it wasn't methane. More recently, an Israeli patrol boat burst into flame along the Gaza Coast, injuring 15 people, as mentioned in the 2014-01-24 update...

2014-03-05 - Man found dead in pickup truck off road near Leland Lake (Illinois):
http://www.wics.com/news/top-stories/stories/vid_15976.shtml

Quote: "According to our media partner WLDS radio in Jacksonville, Curtis Blair, 51, was traveling westbound on Route 104 west of Leland Lake before 3 p.m. when the vehicle went off the road twice. Morgan County deputies say Blair was able to return to the road, and took the Route 67 ramp to Beardstown, where the truck struck a guardrail. Authorities say the vehicle spun around and continued the wrong way on the road. It then proceeded off the road and into a field before striking railroad tracks. No significant injuries were found, and it's possible Blair suffered a medical event."

Note: Sounds like he was knocked dead while driving near that lake, as is happening with regularity to drivers these days...
