Event Update For 2014-05-19

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.

http://www.wics.com/news/top-stories/stories/vid_17216.shtml

Note: As the atmospheric contamination intensifies, more people will be losing consciousness, having 'medical events' or flat-out dying while driving, resulting in accidents like those above. You're most likely to sicken or die while driving (or while NOT driving for that matter) during the wee hours and in, near or downwind of low-lying areas like canyons, valleys, gorges, ravines, ditches, ponds, lakes, streams, creeks, rivers, quays, bays, coastlines, etc.

Quote: "Blaze follows similar incident on Bay Bridge over the weekend..."

Note: Yes, I'd noticed that. Bridges over bodies of water are obvious areas of vulnerability for vehicular fires since hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in all the same places that water does. It's also reactive with rusty iron/steel and electrified copper, which all vehicles have. You're more likely to lose consciousness, have a seizure or 'medical event' or drop dead while driving on or near bridges over bodies of water too, especially in coastal areas. Two yachts just went up in flames while docked in the Inner Harbor in Baltimore too, mentioned in the 2014-05-17 update. Also see the prison bus that crashed on the Manhattan Bridge in coastal Manhattan (New York) on this day...

Note: The problem with these storage businesses is that all it takes is for ONE unit to have some rusty iron/steel or electrified copper in it and then the whole place can go up in flames. Kinda like the parked car fires, where one car ignites and the fire spreads to nearby cars. In fact, people do often store vehicles in these places: cars, mowers, golf carts, ATVs, motorcycles, etc.

http://fox10tv.com/2014/05/18/bald-eagles-found-dead-near-milton-landfill/

Note: The city of Roxbury (New Jersey) is making plans for evacuation because of hydrogen sulfide coming from the landfill near there, and people have been sickening there, mentioned in the 2013-06-14 update. Landfills are traditional sources of hydrogen sulfide. Birds are more susceptible to gases than people are because of their lighter weight and rapid respiration. These birds probably died and sickened from hydrogen sulfide coming from that landfill and/or blowing in off the Gulf of Mexico...

Note: What if your brakes burn out or catch fire? Then you're gonna do some weaving in and out of traffic, trying not to hit anything. If you smell even a hint of anything burning while you're driving, that could be your brakes or tires, and you might wanna stop and check, if you CAN stop...
