Event Update For 2014-05-09

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.

2014-05-09 - Hot air balloon hits power line, bursts into flame and crashes in Doswell (Virginia), people heard screaming, 3 killed:

http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-nn-balloon-crash-virginia-20140510-story.html

Quote: "Carrie Hager-Bradley said she saw the balloon in flames on her way home from the grocery store and heard people yelling, according to WWBT television station. 'They were just screaming for anybody to help them,' the station quoted her as saying. '"Help me, help me, sweet Jesus, help. I'm going to die. Oh my God, I'm going to die,"' Hager-Bradley said she heard one person screaming.'"

Note: A hot air balloon exploded and fell near the Nile River near Luxor (Egypt) last year, killing at least 18 people, mentioned in the 2013-02-25 update. I'm not sure the power line had a lot to do with this fire in Virginia. Power lines are obviously heavily insulated, else you'd see flaming dead birds falling from them constantly. The flame on the balloon may have ignited a passing methane and/or hydrogen sulfide plume (probably mostly methane), and the fact that it did so near a power line might have been mere coincidence. We'll never know for sure. I know this: lots of planes have come down smoking and numerous plane engines have been igniting and lots of small planes and helicopters have been crashing and numerous people have been sickening and sometimes dying on planes, so I'm gonna leave the flying to others...

'It felt like an explosion, and it didn't echo throughout the valley like thunder.'"

Quote: "While some people are speculating it was thunder, some residents reported seeing smoke near the Cooper Creek area."

http://www.wbaltv.com/news/baltimore-police-investigate-body-found-floating-in-water/25907854

Note: Last year, the Inner Harbor suddenly turned milky green-white, all the fish died, and a 'rotten egg' odor was in the air, mentioned in the 2013-07-18 update. That was the chemocline rising abruptly to the surface, releasing methane and hydrogen sulfide into the air that had accumulated at the bottom. Since then, there have been an aberrant number of people being found dead in the Inner Harbor. Not a coincidence...

Quote: "A search team of volunteers found him slumped over the controls of his skiff, which was adrift along the west shore of the inlet and the engine was running."

Note: Not the first person found dead on his boat and he won't be the last. Last year, two men, 44 and 41, were found dead on separate boats in harbors near Kodiak (Alaska), mentioned in the 2013-04-22 update. Lotsa mysterious deaths in Alaska, especially near the coast. Not as many mysterious deaths as in Florida, but that could be because there are simply way fewer people in Alaska, so conditions could actually be worse in Alaska...

Quote: "Hudson admits she was speeding, but the couple says they weren't trying to outrun the cop. They say the accelerator stuck and the brakes failed. 'It wasn't slowing down and I didn't know what to do so I started panicking because I knew the four-way intersection was ahead of us so started yelling at him like "help me!"' said Hudson. Griffin says he took the wheel to try to slow the car down. That's when they crashed through the front of this home on Colonial Trace, landing in the garage."

http://www.kval.com/news/local/Driver-found-dead-behind-wheel-of-crashed-big-rig-258696911.html

Quote: "For an unconfirmed reason, the truck and trailer gradually drifted to the left and struck the guardrail on the south side of the traffic lanes, police said. The truck and trailer continued westbound into the center median before colliding with a tree. A tree section came down, partially blocking the left eastbound lane. Emergency crews found the driver dead in the truck. Investigators are looking into the possibility that the driver suffered a medical emergency prior to the crash."

Note: He may have died while driving, lost consciousness, had a 'medical event', all of which have happened numerous times. Ya just can't count on remaining conscious - or even alive - while driving these days...
