Event Update For 2014-07-20

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.veooz.com/news/CHLLEHT.html

Quote: "At around 3 p.m. on Sunday RCMP at Clarenville were called to an incident on the TCH just two km west of Clarenville, near the White Hills Resort entrance. A tractor trailer was on fire, spewing flames and black smoke."

Quote: "Just a few hours later, around 6:30 p.m, traffic on the TCH near Bellvue was held up due to smoke when a camper caught fire."

Quote: "Earlier in the day, around noon, another vehicle fire on the TCH near Mackinsons caused traffic to come to a standstill for a couple of hours."

Note: I used Google Maps a year or two ago and took a virtual tour of the Trans-Canada Highway. In so doing I noticed that this highway almost always runs along rivers and coasts, so I knew then that there'd be a goodly number of vehicular fires on this highway...
