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.

2014-07-19 - Ground explodes upward then collapses into crater, in Spring Hill (Florida), near the coast, homes evacuated:

http://www.baynews9.com/content/news/baynews9/news/article.html/content/news/articles/bn9/2014/7/19/sinkhole_spring_hill.html
http://www.news10.com/story/26061627/sinkhole-opens-in-spring-hill-neighborhood
Quote: "The 120-foot wide and 30-foot deep sinkhole opened Saturday afternoon in Spring Hill. 'Out of nowhere the earth just went straight up in the air and exploded up in the air," said Margaret Helmick, who lives in the neighborhood.'"
Note: Just like the recent giant sinkhole in Russia, mentioned in the 2014-07-15 update. That was very likely methane exploding out of the ground, and so was this sinkhole in Florida. I said when the Russian sinkhole appeared that I bet we see more similar events just like that one, and here we go, just a week later. Now that it's happened twice, and both in areas with lots of subsurface methane, then you can be sure we're going to see even more similar events, in Florida and elsewhere, quite possibly in populated areas like this Florida event.
The methane hydrates are dissociating, transforming from a solid of a sort to methane gas and water as the ice matrix surrounding the methane gas melts. Then the gas starts rising to the surface and eventually accumulates, If there is no easy path to the surface for the gas then the pressure will build until eventually a bubble of gas explodes out of the ground, escaping into the atmosphere. Then because there is lost volume from the gas which has now just escaped, the ground collapses back down and forms a depression, even if no chunks get blown outward, which they might.
The seafloor is littered with similar craters from times past, so this will also happen - and it very likely already is happening - on the floor of the seas and oceans too. When those bubbles hit the surface then they may create 'rogue waves', of which there have been many, particularly in recent years, causing more boats and ships to capsize.
It won't be just methane hydrates that are a problem though. As heat rises from below, gas pockets everywhere will be under increased pressure so this same thing is apt to happen wherever there are either methane hydrate deposits OR where there are gas pockets in the ground, so inland states like Oklahoma and Arkansas and so on will not be immune. This may in part explain all the rampant fracking: to get the gas out of the ground and replace the lost volume with inert fluids before the gas just plain starts exploding out of the ground on its own in events like this one. Another reason would be to remove the methane (e.g. natural gas) from the ground before the ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide eat that gas and turn it into hydrogen sulfide, which is not just much more flammable but also vastly more deadly. We've already got people dropping dead all over the place, so any further hydrogen sulfide that we can prevent from entering the atmosphere would certainly be beneficial.
If there had been a flame near this area when the gas burst free then there might have been a gigantic explosion and/or fire as the methane ignited. Luckily that didn't happen this time, but who knows where this will happen next. In addition to this exploding sinkhole and the one in Russia, a road also recently exploded in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), mentioned in the 2014-06-30 update.
It appears that this extinction event will have an Exploding Ground Phase and it has begun...

Quote: "Russia has seen its share of bombings, almost all by Muslim separatists from the Caucaus region, and those are usually widely reported on. That this one isn’t being widely reported on is, frankly, odd."
Note: A heavier-than-air innocuous gas was pumped into the subways in both New York City and London in 2013, to see where a heavier-than-air gas - like hydrogen sulfide - would go once inside the subway. All subway systems will be similarly vulnerable and because hydrogen sulfide is explosively flammable and highly reactive, it will result in fires and explosions, much like all the underground electrical fires and explosions that have been hitting cities around the world. A subway train was just hit by fire in coastal Busan (South Korea), injuring 5 people and evacuating 400 people, mentioned in the 2014-07-17 update. The NYC subway gas test was mentioned in the 2013-04-26 update and the London subway gas test was mentioned in the 2013-06-14 update. Maybe Moscow should have done the same thing for its subway system...

2014-07-19 - Man burns to death when car bursts into flame on highway in Noida (India):
http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/greater-noida-man-burnt-to-death-after-car-catches-fire/article1-1242483.aspx
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/noida/Car-catches-fire-on-Greater-Noida-expressway-kills-driver/articleshow/38708649.cms
Quote: "According to an eyewitness, the car was coming from Greater Noida and was going towards Noida side. The driver stopped the car after the engine had caught fire. He tried to get out of the vehicle but the door did not open and the seat belt got stuck."
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, so some of these 'electrical' fires may disable power doors and power windows and seatbelts and trap you inside a burning vehicle, and that's apt to be deadly. This has happened numerous times now. You might want to keep something handy in your car when you drive, to cut seatbelts and to break out windows, just in case. Better to have such things handy and not need them than to need them and not have them. 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."

Quote: "We were able to determine that the fire was deliberately set ... there were no other ignition sources."
Note: The barn had no electricity and wasn't constructed with steel nails or hinges or brackets? Nothing rusty around at all? Somehow I doubt that. Just because they're not AWARE of the atmospheric problem doesn't rule it out, and that might have been what knocked this man dead too. We can't expect fire investigators to be competent at doing their job until they recognize the problem, so incompetent fire investigators are all we've got for now. Eventually they'll either become competent or they'll become dead, whichever comes first; they aren't immune to the problem themselves. Kenai is located on the Kenai Peninsula, right on the coast...

Between all the trees dying and more and more toxic gases being pumped into the atmosphere each day, how long can it be until these reports stretch to pages of completely unimaginable incidents of destruction and death?
ReplyDeleteTom
Good question! It's already pretty effin bad though! But yeah, it's gonna get way worse. Everything is our enemy now: earth, water, air, fire.
DeleteSo I read about the PA (local) actress, singer, tv host who dropped dead in her pool. They said the coroner was going to do an autopsy today (Monday, 21st). Are they going to be able to detect H2S poisoning in some way (like on NCIS where they figure out everything about the stiff's life by analyzing their ear wax or some shit)? Or will it just be chalked up to drowning? Will they publish the results or will somebody interested have to call the county medical examiner's office and have to present all kinds of effin' paperwork in order to get a straight answer? Know what I mean? Even if they DO figure out it's H2S they may not want to "spook the herd" by letting that little OBVIOUS FACT out to the public. Guess we'll see (prolly not).
ReplyDeleteLeave it to the Chinese to show you how to have a freakin' accident - roll a box truck on into a packed bus, why don't ya? Pa-loom! At least 38 dead, whew!
'course the one in India is pretty graphic too, don't ya think? I mean you see some smoke comin' from under the hood as yer drivin' yer poop-sled home fum werk and all of a sudden, ka-woosh, lemme outta this gyad fer sakin death trap ahhhhhhhh!
Freakin' SAFETY belt won't unlatch, thereby insuring you're trapped in the death chair, and nobody could get in to help because the doors wouldn't unlock and the windows wouldn't go down - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
(remember Sam Kinison - think of his voice there. http://kinison.com/video.php#
click on the Back to School clip, first one listed).
But aaawwwww no, the Germans get into the act with 3 buses and 89 people effected in the crash. We can hold our heads high though with 4 homes involved in a-fahr an' 15 people gone be slypin' inna jilm.
Somebody got me a ticket for a hot-air BAA - LOOM! ride, but I said to let someone else go instead . . ..
Thanks for the update Jonny. i'll be here all week, try the whitefish .. ..... ... . .... . ..

That's the insidious thing about H2S poisoning - within about eight hours, it turns into harmless sulfates in the body, and those could have other innocuous causes and isn't by itself alarming. And that's within eight hours of exposure, so that much time might already have passed. Also, they won't be looking at the death as one of many in a pattern. The ME will see a body, lungs probably filled with water, from a pool - unless he's not got anything better to do, and unless he has reason to look very closely, he's gonna scribble down 'drowning' and move on to the next corpse.
DeleteThe woman who was gassed to death n her home in Kansas - THAT coroner was a smart guy. He said at the time that a lot of H2S deaths could be getting completely missed and he said that woman's death could just be the tip of the iceberg. I wonder if he had any inkling of just how correct he was about that. Probably not.
