Event Update For 2014-03-18

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.

Quote: "The helicopter exploded into a fireball on impact. Huge flames and thick plumes of black smoke poured from the blazing wreckage, about 50 yards from the base of the Space Needle. Fuel gushing from the wreckage caught fire and burned for a block from the crash scene. Secondary explosions continued for several minutes afterward. 'Not only were the cars on fire, the fuel running down the street was on fire,' Moore said."

http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2014/03/firefighters_respond_to_house_1.html

Note: I checked to make sure the above two home explosions weren't the same event (I don't know Michigan very well). They were different homes exploding, about 180 miles from each other. A home exploded and burned in Michigan the day prior too, in Coldwater, as mentioned in the 2014-03-17 update, so that makes at least three homes exploding in Michigan in two days...

2014-03-18 - RV damaged by apparent propane explosion near coastal Lacey (Washington), 2 injured:
http://www.theolympian.com/2014/03/18/3040991/propane-tank-explosion-east-of.html

Quote: "The preliminary investigation indicated that there was either an open propane line or a leak in the tank that caused it to explode when someone tried to light a cigarette, he said."

Note: Could be, but they can't rule out some flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide blowing by and causing an explosion, just like all those 'mysterious explosions' shaking homes around the world in the last coupla years. Well, maybe they COULD rule that out if they weren't ignorant of what's happening, but since they are, they didn't...

2014-03-18 - Mysterious explosion rocks Bladen County (North Carolina), no cause found:

Quote: "Large blocks of concrete were blown into the air and Coral Baker said she feared the worst. 'I thought it was a bomb,' the 72-year-old added. 'I heard a loud boom and all the lights went out and the debris and pavement bricks were all across the road.'"

Note: Just think what would have happened if someone had been standing in the wrong place - legs might've been blown off. I wouldn't be walking near any manholes or grates these days. Walthamstow is a suburb in coastal London and is just east (downwind) of the River Lea and at least nine reservoirs...

2014-03-18 - Four buses go up in flames while parked at pub in coastal Penyrheol (Britain):

http://www.campaignseries.co.uk/news/campaign_news/11085729.Caerphilly_club_evacuated_as_firefighters_battle_bus_blaze/

Quote: "South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said the fire was deliberate."

Note: Ah, so they SAY it was deliberate. Obviously that doesn't mean it WAS deliberate. Did any of the buses have any electrified copper or rust in/on them? Oh, they all did. Did the investigators rule out hydrogen sulfide as the cause then? No, they didn't. Have they shown anyone on surveillance video? (This is Britain!) No, they haven't presented any evidence of any kind that people were involved with these buses burning. This looks like just another pile of parked vehicles spontaneously igniting to me. Absent evidence of people being involved, I'm not making any assumptions, not with all the OTHER parked vehicles spontaneously igniting all over the planet on a daily basis now, a fact about which these people are clearly ignorant, despite fires being, you know, THEIR JOB. This place is just east (downwind) of the River Loughor, which leads to the ocean...

2014-03-18 - Six vehicles burst into flame in the wee hours in Maharashtra (India), miscreants blamed:
http://news.webindia123.com/news/Articles/India/20140319/2359697.html

Quote: "The miscreants had escaped the area before police could arrive."

Note: So nobody actually SAW any miscreants, so it's nothing but an assumption that there actually WERE any. Used to be, investigators didn't make assumptions like this. Alas, it appears that they don't make competent investigators anymore. And sorry, I need to see some actual evidence, a witness, a motive, surveillance video, forensic evidence, something, else this just looks like more parked vehicles spontaneously igniting in the wee hours...

http://1019therock.com/propane-truck-catches-fire-near-echo-lake-in-presque-isle/

Quote: "A propane tank caught fire Tuesday morning as a delivery truck driver from Daigle Oil Co. was refilling it outside a residence on the Quoggy Jo Lake Road. No one was injured. According to Presque Isle Deputy Fire Chief Rich Wark, the incident took place at approximately 8:30 a.m. The Presque Isle Fire Department was dispatched to the scene after a caller reported that he was the driver of the delivery truck and had been filling a tank outside a residence when fire erupted and engulfed the top of the tank. The driver also reported that he was having chest pain."

Note: Sounds like the Ghostly Match struck again...

Note: Whatever vulnerabilities this home had to the atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and methane problem, putting out the first fire didn't address them and probably made things worse. This is happening regularly, structures burning multiple times. Eventually they burn so hard that there's nothing left that CAN burn and then...problem solved!

Quote: "From 10 p.m. on March 18 through 2 a.m. the following morning, a brief training program, called Project Integrated Communications Incident Tunnel Exercise, will be going on inside the tunnel to 'simulate a multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional' response to a mock motor vehicle accident that will look as though it has multiple injuries and even a fire. Because of the drill, the tunnel will be closed to drivers during those hours. The exercise, developed in 2012, was created to test responders on how well they can communicate back-and-forth in times of distress, and how they can work together to diffuse a serious situation with limited resources at hand. The Sumner Tunnel is a long stretch of underground roadway that leaves people inside of it with limited options to get out."

Note: Can't argue with this training...
