Event Update For 2014-07-31

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.

2014-07-31 - Massive underground explosions erupt at midnight in Kaohsiung (Taiwan), at least 24 killed, 270+ injured:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2712464/Five-dead-200-injured-huge-explosion-Taiwan-caused-gas-leak-sewage-system.html

Quote: "Blasts caused by leaked gas overnight in Taiwan’s biggest port city killed at least 24 people and injured about 271, in what local television described as the nation’s deadliest gas explosion."

Quote: "Some witnesses told the agency they first thought some 'poisonous gas' had leaked from the old railway and a construction site of Kaohsiung's light rapid transit system. 'I saw fire spurting, ripping off some covers of ditches. It was terrifying,' he said. Others reported the whole street was strewn with bodies, as the sky turned red with the light of the flames. The blasts which hit Kaisuan Road and Ersheng Road were felt in at least four areas in the port-city of Kaohsiung, which is home to over 2.7 million people, most of them Chinese."

Quote: "At least 24 people were killed and 271 others injured when several underground gas explosions ripped through Taiwan's second-largest city overnight, hurling concrete through the air and blasting long trenches in the streets, authorities said Friday."

Note: These explosions and fires happened in the sewer system. Hydrogen sulfide is commonly known as 'sewer gas' and it is highly flammable, much more explosively flammable than natural gas or methane. People reported 'smelling gas', but methane and natural gas are odorless. They add mercaptan to it so that it has any smell at all. Mercaptan smells like 'rotten eggs' and so does hydrogen sulfide, at least in lowish concentrations. Sewers are a traditional source of hydrogen sulfide and methane. Hydrogen sulfide is also a heavier-than-air gas so when any blows in off the oceans or seas - and Taiwan is an island and this city is a port city - then it will settle and flow to the lowest-lying areas that it can reach. In major cities that will be the sewer systems. Wee hours, port city on an island, 'rotten egg' smell, sewer system exploding and igniting - this event almost certainly involved hydrogen sulfide...

2014-07-31 - Boat, pickup, motorcycle, RV trailer, hay, garage and workshop destroyed by fire at 4:20 AM in Vernon (Canada):
http://www.kelownadailycourier.ca/news/article_35d252b4-190b-11e4-bc8d-0017a43b2370.html
http://www.vernonmorningstar.com/news/269384181.html

Quote: "Destroyed were a late-model pickup, a new motorcycle, the travel trailer, a four-metre boat, the hay, garage, a workshop and numerous tools, including a compressor. The renters were sleeping in a house 50 metres away and were unhurt. They had no livestock. It’s possible spontaneous combustion ignited the hay, but investigators are leaning toward the interior of the garage as the source of the fire, Blair said."

Note: One of those vehicles probably spontaneously ignited. The more vehicles that people park near each other, the greater the chance that they ALL go up in flames, since all vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making explosions, fires and people and animals sickening and/or dying more common during those hours...

Quote: "Fire crews from Odsal station were called to Round Street, West Bowling, at 9.20pm last night and 1.30am this morning. The cars targeted were a Toyota Yaris and a Mercedes. A fire service spokesman said both fires were probably started deliberately."

Note: They haven't eliminated accidental causes, like hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with electrified copper and rusty iron, so they don't know if this was arson or not. Also, it's highly doubtful that any arsonist is gonna hang around for more than FOUR HOURS after burning one car and then burn another on the same street. To be fair, if I was completely clueless about what was going on, I'd probably suspect arson too, even though it doesn't make sense. On the other hand, it's THEIR JOB not to be clueless about such things...

Quote: "The police suspect that they may have committed suicide by consuming poison."

Note: More likely their water supply got contaminated with hydrogen sulfide or a gust of wind blew some gas into their home and knocked them dead. The government in India (and governments elsewhere) are trying to hide what's happening, so their options when they lie to the people are limited when there are multiple corpses without any sign of injury like this. There aren't a lot of stories they can even TRY to sell, so this is one of their 'go to' excuses. They're very predictable. At this point I could write their scripts for them, if I was of a mind to lie to the people, which I am not...
