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.

2014-06-04 - Two brothers burned to death when car ignites, uncle injured, in Delhi (India):

http://www.telegraphindia.com/1140606/jsp/nation/story_18484371.jsp
Quote: "Two teenaged brothers were charred to death on Wednesday, while their uncle suffered burn injuries when the car they were travelling in caught fire in South West Delhi's Kapashera area, police said."
Quote: "The rear doors of the car reportedly got jammed and the boys were not able to escape."
Quote: "In another incident in the national capital, around 70 shanties were gutted in the Chanakyapuri area of New Delhi district this evening."
Quote: "A paediatric surgeon today moved a petition in the Supreme Court seeking a probe into what he says are growing instances of cars catching fire spontaneously, often killing the occupants."
Quote: "His petition says that in several such car fires, the occupants were burnt alive as the doors and windows jammed, cutting off escape."
Note: Hydrogen sulfide fires will often involve electrified copper which can take out the electrical system in a vehicle. If you have power locks/windows then you can end up trapped inside a burning vehicle, and that can prove to be very fatal very fast. From the full hypothesis: "Vehicles of all kinds will continue to burn, as they have been, and the number of vehicular fires will continue to escalate, inevitably resulting in a corresponding increase in the number of people being incinerated in their vehicles."
2014-06-04 - Car bursts into flame on street in Beloit (Wisconsin):

http://wsau.com/news/articles/2014/jun/05/two-men-save-elderly-couple-from-car-fire-in-beloit/
Quote: "According to the report, the Fregeau couple were not able to unlock the doors or escape the car through the windows. Golden and a second bystander - Kerry Mann - sprang into action and were able to break two of the windows in order to get the couple out of the car."
Note: I've mentioned this problem before. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. So sometimes these fires affect the electrical system in vehicles, like the boat with no one aboard that burst into flame and started itself then took off across Coffs Harbour on fire, smashing into other boats, mentioned in the 2013-05-03 update. But besides vehicles sometimes starting themselves, another problem with these fires is that electric locks and windows may stop working and then you're in a burning car with the oxygen supply rapidly disappearing and no way to open doors or roll windows down. So, it's probably wise to keep something handy in your vehicle with which to break out windows in an emergency, at least if you have electric locks/windows...
2014-06-04 - Car bursts into flame, brakes stop working, woman leaps from moving car at mall in Victor (New York):
http://www.13wham.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/woman-jumps-moving-car-at-mall-12584.shtml
Quote: "'She was driving the car and realized that there was something coming from under the hood, smoke of some kind,' said Stromfield. 'When she went to stop the car, she didn't have any brakes. The pedal went all the way to the floor. So she chose to get out of the car.' Sarah Coon, 20, of Shortsville, bailed while the car was still moving. Authorities found her sitting on the pavement 40 yards away from the fire. The forward progress of her car was stopped as it crashed into three parked and empty vehicles. A second car also caught fire."
Note: I'm feeling more sedentary every day!

2014-06-04 - Megabus bursts into flame on the New York State Thruway in Portland (New York):

http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/wireStory/megabus-catches-fire-thruway-injured-24005752
Note: Both of the above bus fires blamed on blown tires. The tires very likely blew because the brakes had ignited and they burned the tires until the tires ignited and exploded. Brake pads and tires are absorbing methane and hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, an unusual amount of heat is generated because hydrogen sulfide burns very hot, and then bad things can happen: tires explode or ignite, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This problem hits massive vehicles the worst - like fire trucks, buses, tanker trucks, dump trucks, tractor trailers, etc - but no vehicle is immune. You can often spot these fires from the pictures as these fires will break out in the wheel wells...

The blaze was reported at 3:21a.m. A police officer, the first to arrive at the scene, found the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu fully engulfed in flames. On initial inspection, police said it appears the fire began within the engine compartment."
Note: Engine compartment, where the battery, battery cables and other electrified copper wiring is located. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and it's reactive with rusty iron/steel too. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any hydrogen sulfide or methane in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and people and animals sickening and/or dying more common during those hours...

Quote: "The Asheville Fire Department says Gary Williams' family members found him on fire in the kitchen."
Note: Not unlike the woman who went outside for a smoke and burned to death on her porch in The Woodlands (Texas), mentioned in the 2013-12-12 update. Clothes will absorb methane and hydrogen sulfide and then they will become extremely easy to ignite, even with static electricity, and such fires will burn very hot, making fatalities more common...

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20140604-44028-AUS
Quote: "Parechovirus is a respiratory and intestinal disease that causes fever, irritability, rash and diarrhoea, but severe cases can develop into hepatitis or encephalitis. QPID Associate Professor Michael Nissen said the virus infected mainly infants, but no one was sure where it came from, how often it occurred or how to fight it. 'This virus does not respond to common antibiotics,' he said."
2014-06-04 - Man, 66, shows signs of kidney failure, medevac'd off passenger ship near coastal Prince Rupert (Canada):
http://www.vesseltracker.com/en/Ships/Amsterdam-9188037.html
Quote: "The Canadian coast guard requested U.S. Coast Guard assistance because they were unable to conduct the medevac due to high winds. Coast Guard watchstanders directed the launch of the Jayhawk crew to meet the 'Amsterdam' when the ship reached the Dixon Entrance. The Jayhawk crew safely hoisted the man, who was reportedly suffering signs of kidney failure, aboard the helicopter and transported him to commercial medical services in Sitka for a higher level of treatment."
Unbelievable. The rate of decline is really pickin' up Jonny. That story of the infected children in Australia is just ghastly!
ReplyDeleteWhen ordinary objects like a freestanding, unpowered parking lot toll booth just erupts in flames, we got serious problems. We have planes flaming out in the air and falling on residential neighborhoods, cars and trucks are rolling bombs at this point, and are just as dangerous when parked! Nothing is safe, nowhere is immune. It's like we're living in a horror film of our own making!
I couldn't find the news release, so now I think it was a report into an investigation that I just caught the tail end of on the news - sorry for the misdirect.

No prob! I actually did find an explosion that occurred in Philadelphia - a soda machine exploded. Not as bad as a house exploding, but still...back in MAH day soda machines didn't blow up!

NICE! Glad I don't bother with vending machines anymore . . .
