2014-06-28 - Man has seizure and woman sickens on flight from coastal Los Angeles (California) to coastal Tampa (Florida):
http://abc13.com/news/flight-makes-emergency-landing-in-houston/146033/
Quote: "Journalist Al Tompkins was on the flight. He says a man had a seizure after the plane left Los Angeles. Crews were forced to make an emergency landing at Bush Airport in Houston. A surgeon happened to be on the flight and helped the man having a seizure until the plane landed. After the plane resumed its flight to Tampa, a second passenger suffered a medical emergency. Tompkins says a woman became sick when the plane hit turbulence over the Gulf. When the flight landed in Tampa, medics met the plane and took the woman to the hospital."
Note: It's not hard to extrapolate out a bit and see how this is gonna go. 'In totally unrelated incidents, 4 people have died from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, 17 people had seizures, 41 people began vomiting, 8 people lost consciousness including one of the pilots, and one man bit a child's face off during a flight from California to Tokyo. In other news, a suspected propane leak from a gas grill caused an explosion that destroyed the city of Brisbane and suspected arsonists torched 293 cars overnight in London...'

Quote: "Mutant 'super rats' that have become immune to common poisons are spreading across Britain, scientists have warned. Researchers from the University of Huddersfield tested rats in 17 counties and found rodents resistant to over-the-counter poisons such as Bromadiolone and Difenacoum in every single one. In more than 50 towns across the UK - from Reading to Sheffield to Dumfries and Galloway - they found rats who were 100% resistant to common poisons."
Note: I mentioned these rats in the 2012-11-19 update but they hadn't spread nearly as far at that time. Now, less than two years later, it appears that they're virtually everywhere...

2014-06-24 - Rotten egg smell hits Marrero (Louisiana):
http://www.wwltv.com/news/Marrero-Harvey-Neighbor-Report-Foul-Odor-In-The-Air-264485801.html
Quote: "We had numerous calls or complaints of rotten egg smell and natural gas..."
Quote: "According to the fire chief, so far, no one has gotten sick because emissions coming from the plant. He said it's more of a nuisance because of the strong odor."
Quote: "Marrero-Harvey Fire Chief Don Roberston said the smell is particulary strong when winds are out of the north, blowing emissions in the direction of surrounding neighborhoods."
Note: Marrero is located on the banks of the Mississippi River, which is just north of the city, and Marrero is also near the Gulf of Mexico and lots of lakes. This odor is highly likely hydrogen sulfide and if the concentration goes up to 1 part per thousand then people will start falling over dead, going insane with brain damage, foaming at the mouth, bleeding from their mouth/nose/ears, having seizures and 'medical events', experiencing kidney failure, etc. That just might be more than a nuisance. On the plus side, they're doing better than the thousands of people in coastal Rayong (Thailand) who recently started puking and fled from toxic gas of unknown origin, mentioned in the 2014-06-08 update...

In the long run the methane will win that battle and the Earth will bake. In the short term though, who knows, could see volcanic winter, or wild variations as the climate continues to destabilize, torn between the competing forces...

At the Township Council meeting Tuesday night, Township Manager Christopher Raths said that the township was only informed that day that the oxidizer and scrubber system, which extracts the gas from the ground on the former landfill site and burns it off, was to be shut down. Shutdown dates were to include Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday."
Note: This town has actually drawn up evacuation plans because of the hydrogen sulfide emissions from this landfill. This landfill problem here is basically a microcosm of the ongoing planetary extinction event...

2014-06-09 - Obama pitches wildfire-fighting funding plan to 10 state governors:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2014/06/09/obama-western-governors-make-plans-for-fire-season/
Note: Yeah, something needs to change. They keep taking money from fire prevention funds to use to fight active fires, so then they run out of money to do the work to help prevent the fires in the first place. This is not a good time to be skimping on firefighting funds, either for prevention OR for fighting the active fires. Lots of towns have been laying off firefighters too, which is just insane...

Note: The symptoms and the fact that these were all young children (ages 1 to 6) makes this look suspiciously like hydrogen sulfide poisoning. Small creatures are also more vulnerable to toxins than large creatures...

Quote: "On June 7, 2014, at 5 p.m. Bremen Rescue was notified by the 'Griroßherzogin Elisabeth' about a passenger who was suffering from strong seizures and needed immediate medical attention. Immediately the lifeboat 'Vormann Leiss' of the DGzRS-station Amrum was dispatched to the tall ship which was about ten nautical miles west of the island."

Quote: "'Gases and liquids are being emitted from holes in a 10 feet area around the hill where the volcanic activity took place,' said Ved Prakash, president of Drang panchayat. He said the eruption, unheard of in this area, caused panic among villagers."

Note: I guess their thinking is, if WE can't have electricity to get cool then NOBODY is gettin' any. The world is descending into madness...

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."

Quote: "British sailor Katherine Tee says she saw what appeared to be a plane that was on fire with black smoke trailing behind it..."
Note: Wouldn't doubt that at all, what with all the other planes smoking, burning and/or crashing in recent times. That was what I always figured happened to this plane: it flew through some hydrogen sulfide and/or methane, ignited, everyone on board was struck dead or rendered unconscious, and then it flew on until it crashed somewhere...
2014-06-03 - Swarm of earthquakes hits Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=EQ-20140604-44030-USA
Quote: "Seismographs have picked up a swarm of earthquakes in the northwestern corner of Yellowstone National Park, including dozens early Tuesday. The University of Utah Seismograph Station reported five small earthquakes including those with magnitudes of 3.4, 2.7 and 3.2 in a 20-minute period starting at 3:33 a.m. in an area 16 to 18 miles south of Gardiner. Earthquake information specialist Paul Roberson says there were another 20 to 30 small quakes Tuesday morning that hadn't yet been posted on the university's website."
2014-06-02 - HazMat event, 30 students sickened at school in Wheaton (Illinois):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=HZ-20140603-44009-USA
Note: There was a 'gas leak' and at the same time an AC unit began emitting a burning odor that sickened people. Hydrogen sulfide at low concentrations smells like 'rotten eggs', just as does the odorant added to natural gas, so people are confusing the two smells, at least sometimes. Hydrogen sulfide is also reactive with electrified copper, like, say, wiring in AC units, and AC units obviously are used to move the atmosphere around. Fifteen students just sickened with some displaying confusion and erratic behavior at Riverdale High School in Muscoda (Wisconsin), mentioned in the 2014-05-31 update. Natural gas and carbon monoxide were ruled out in that event...
