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...

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...

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...

Note: This huge blaze is very reminiscent of the massive 10-alarm fire that destroyed the oceanfront boardwalk and wiped out dozens of businesses in coastal Seaside Park (New Jersey), mentioned in the 2013-09-12 update. There have been other huge coastal fires too, some of which have involved thousands of homes burning, and that isn't an exaggeration. With methane and hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the oceans, coastal areas are increasingly vulnerable to fires like this, some of which are just mind-bogglingly ginormous...

Quote: "Drake opened the door to see his friend, Eric Olsen, 55, on fire, his hand clutching a burning cigarette. 'His hair was on fire,' Drake said about two hours after the blaze was extinguished. 'I couldn't get his fire extinguisher to work, so I had to get mine. I saw him on fire. His TV was on. He wasn't yelling. He wasn't doing nothing. He was rocking a little bit in his chair, holding a cigarette.'"

http://www.newsrt.co.uk/news/lincolnshire-fire-crews-deal-with-caravan-fire-in-city-overnight-but-blaze-spreads-to-nearby-flats-2540489.html
Quote: "Two flats on Westwick Drive in Lincoln were severely damaged by a fire which spread from a caravan parked outside the premises. This was one of three fires in the area last night. Firefighters were called to the caravan on fire at 1.30am on Wednesday, July 30."
Quote: "A few minutes earlier before the caravan fire, at 1.28am, firefighters also tackled a car set on fire on Rookery Lane, near Westwick Drive."
Quote: "Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue also attended another fire at around 2am, on Turner Avenue, off Westwick Drive, where a car and the front of a home were set on fire."
Note: Pretty much what we should expect to see as the atmospheric contamination intensifies. The clouds of flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide are growing in size, concentration and number, so events involving multiple fires igniting in the same timeframe and in the same general geographic area - and especially during the wee hours - are on the rise. Eventually we may see entire towns going up in flames as virtually everything ignites and/or explodes. I'm not sure if too many people will still be alive to see that though, because the hydrogen sulfide is also killing people, so it's possible that mostly everyone will have been poisoned to death before the fires get really outrageous. But the people on the space station will still get to see it anyway...

http://thelincolnite.co.uk/2014/07/firefighters-tackle-car-fire-lincoln-rope-walk/
Note: This actually happened on 7-29, but I waited to mention it here because of those three parked vehicles that went up in flames in the wee hours the next day, so that's four vehicles (three parked) that burst into flame in Lincoln within about 16 hours, at least. Three parked vehicles went up in flames the day prior in Sacramento (California), mentioned in the 2014-07-29 update too, and three parked vehicles burning in East Hanover (New Jersey), and much more. Clearly the atmospheric contamination is intensifying and that is causing increasing numbers of vehicles to spontaneously ignite around the world...

http://www.turnto23.com/news/local-news/abandoned-house-in-bakersfield-catches-fire-for-third-time-073014
Note: So a home is vulnerable to the atmospheric contamination problem, it catches fire, they put it out. Well, putting out the fire does nothing at all to address whatever made the home vulnerable in the first place. In fact, the place is probably now MORE vulnerable after a fire. So homes keep burning over and over, like this one. Eventually they burn so hard that nothing is left that CAN burn, and then the problem is solved, if you want to look at complete destruction as a 'solution'. Also, vacant structures are inherently more vulnerable to the atmospheric contamination problem than occupied structures, so living next to a vacant structure is increasingly dangerous. It was always somewhat dangerous, but now it's worse...

Quote: "Fire crews were called to a fire at a recycling plant, crews reported that 40 percent of 300 tonnes of scrap metal was on fire. The area alight measured approximately 30 x 30 metres and was 10 metres high."
Note: More scrap metal bursting into flame. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel. Nobody has ever offered up an alternative explanation for these fires where scrap iron ignites, because there isn't one. As most people are aware, scrap iron doesn't normally burst into flame. 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: "Neighbourhood witnesses said they awoke to a loud bang early in the morning, and after racing outside to see what the commotion was, stood aghast as plumes of smoke and red-hot flames engulfed three houses."
Note: Somebody probably had some rusty iron/steel or electrified copper outside one of these homes, which ignited a methane and/or hydrogen sulfide plume, causing an initial explosion and igniting these homes. This area is surrounded by lakes and ponds...

Quote: "A homeowner in Federal Way woke up to the smell of smoke and what sounded like a loud explosion early Tuesday morning."
Quote: "While the cause of the fire is under investigation, the fire is believed to have started on the outside of the house and spread. The home is a total loss..."
Note: They probably had some rusty iron/steel or electrified copper out there, like a porch light, or electrical outlet, or landcaping lights, or a doorbell, etc, and a gas plume blowing in off the ocean ignited, causing the initial explosion and fire. These fires that start outside like this are very dangerous because they can can grow unnoticed and cut off routes of escape before smoke detectors indoors start going off. In a way, they're lucky that there WAS an explosion, else they might not have been alerted to the fire until it was too late...

Note: So now, after two fires in two separate fire stations in one week, there is just one fire truck left for both towns. Hmmm, not looking good. This problem is affecting other aspects of existence too. For example, the only garbage truck went up in flames recently in coastal Rankin Inlet (Canada), mentioned in the 2014-07-21 update, so no more trash pickup there...

Note: The only reason they think this was arson is because both vehicles ignited separately; one did not ignite the other. Welp, that's how it's gonna go as the atmospheric contamination proceeds - when things first started, it was just one vehicle here or one vehicle there igniting. Now we're at the point where multiple vehicles are igniting in some events, and sometimes entire parking garages of vehicles are going to go up in flames, like the 37 cars that went up in flames before 3 AM the day prior in Lake St. Louis (Missouri), mentioned in the 2014-07-28 update. So, before I accept an arson proclamation, especially from someone who doesn't have a clue about what's going on, I need to see some REAL evidence, like a witness, or some surveillance footage, or some gas cans left lying around, or at the very least a motive. Absent ANY of that, as in this case, then arson seems very doubtful...

Quote: "The battalion chief at the scene said he suspected the cars were deliberately set ablaze since they were located so close to one another. An arson investigator was called to the scene and The Sacramento Fire Department confirmed around 12:45 p.m. that both fires were results of arson."
Note: The problem is, they CAN'T confirm it as arson unless they've ruled out accidental causes, like hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with electrified copper or rust, and they didn't do that, so they have no idea if this was arson or not. Witnesses, evidence, surveillance footage, motive? They have none of that AND they haven't eliminated accidental causes either. That's the shoddy work of incompetents there. You wouldn't trust an incompetent neurosurgeon to operate on your brain and you shouldn't trust anything incompetent fire investigators say either. Also see the RV that burst into flame at 6:45 AM while parked in Sacramento. So that's three vehicles that burst into flame while parked in Sacramento on this day. I wonder what they're gonna say when it's 20 vehicles, or 100, or 500. 'Packs of invisible arsonists are rampaging around burning everything and we're helpless to stop them!' These fire investigators are becoming quite a joke!

Note: Fire officials have warned people for decades not to go back into a burning home for anything. That was always good advice, but now, with fires that may involve hydrogen sulfide - which can knock you unconscious virtually instantly - it is even more dangerous than it has ever been. What if a loved one or a beloved pet is still inside? Well, I don't know what to say there - horrible choice, your call. It won't do them any good if you die too though. For anything else - like a freaking cellphone - it's way safer to stay outside and let it burn. Cellphones, unlike loved ones and pets, are easy to replace...

Quote: "Airport police said the wheels of Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight BG702 caught fire when it touched down at the airport at around 2 p.m., Xinhua reported."
Note: Tires and brake pads are absorbing hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, an unusual amount of heat is generated, since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. 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, etc - but no vehicle is immune. Usually, with planes, the tires just explode, but they're rubber so they can also ignite, just like all the tire/brake fires that have been burning up heavy trucks. A jumbo jet blew FOURTEEN TIRES (out of 18) after landing in coastal Anchorage (Alaska) in 2012, mentioned in the 2012-09-11 update...
2014-07-28 - Home damaged by explosion in Barnesville (Minnesota):

http://www.inforum.com/content/explosion-damages-garage-door-barnesville-home
http://www.valleynewslive.com/story/26129915/breaking-possible-explosion-reported-in-barnesville
Note: One story says that a propane tank exploded and another story says workers ruptured a gas line and that allowed gas to leak into the home. In other words, they don't know what caused this explosion and they're grasping at possibilities. It could easily be a combination of things too. For example, if a propane tank leaks a little, and there's some electrified copper or rusty iron/steel nearby, then if any hydrogen sulfide gets into that area, it can serve as the igniter and detonate the propane tank. Did that happen here? Who knows. Did they check the air or surfaces of matter to see if any hydrogen sulfide was in the air or had adsorbed onto anything in that area? Did they check methane levels? Nope, so they'll never know if those possibilities were a factor or not. We'd be able to know a lot more if fire officials weren't ignorant of the atmospheric contamination problem, but they're still derping along as the world burns...

Note: Basically the same as the passenger plane that caught fire after landing in Kathmandu on this day. Lots of heavy trucks have been getting destroyed this way, although the damage wasn't too bad in this case. From the full hypothesis: "Massive vehicles such as big RVs, buses, tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and car-haulers will be destroyed by fire in escalating numbers after tires or brakes ignite."

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/07/28/5071813/body-found-at-wendover-road-independence.html
Quote: "'The listed victim was found in an unconscious state suffering from extensive burns about the body,' said Trietley. 'The burns are believed to be self-inflicted.'"
Note: How can they tell the difference between self-inflicted burns and burns caused by a cloud of methane and/or hydrogen sulfide igniting? They can't, so this sounds like an assumption here, because they're ignorant of the problem. This doesn't look any different from all of the other people found mysteriously burned to death in recent years, and especially in the last year...

2014-07-27 - Mysterious explosion and two flashes of light rattle residents in coastal Mackey (Australia):
http://www.dailymercury.com.au/news/explosion-west-mackay-remains-mystery/2331204/
Quote: "Kelley Watt commented saying that she saw two flashes of bright light."
Note: These mysterious explosions - sometimes accompanied by a 'flash of light' like in this case - really started escalating around the world at the same time that methane began vigorously spewing forth from the Arctic and other areas. These explosions are very likely caused by atmospheric methane and/or hydrogen sulfide plumes finding an ignition source and detonating. As time goes on these explosions will become very large, possibly rivaling the destructive power of the fission explosion that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus any radiation, unless one of these explosions takes out a nuclear plant, many of which are located on coasts and ALL of which are located near bodies of water for cooling. A medical helicopter was knocked out of the sky by a 'flash of light' in Oklahoma City (Oklahoma), killing 2 people, mentioned in the 2013-03-13 update. That was the same thing, but was a much smaller explosion, probably a 'flash fire' explosion, but it was still plenty enough to knock that helicopter down and kill everyone in it. Once these explosions begin destroying entire towns or portions of cities, it will be somewhat more difficult to ignore what is happening...

Quote: "A petrol station next to the depot was damaged in the blast and the main coastal road which runs through the town temporarily closed as a result. The blast would have been worse but for the fact that the petrol station is said not to have had any fuel at the time. The explosion is said to have been an accident although the exact reason has not been divulged."
Note: From the full hypothesis: "Ammo depots will be hit with explosions and fires, including the civilian versions like fireworks factories."

Quote: "A fire broke out on the public bus, which was traveling from Tuzla to Topkapi, as it was proceeding on the TEM highway in Kavacik on the Asian side. The driver managed to stop the bus after crashing into safety fence."
Note: Why did he have to crash the bus to stop it? I bet the brakes ignited and caused this fire, and thus the brakes weren't working, which left only crashing as a way to stop it. Tires and brake pads are absorbing hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, an unusual amount of heat is generated, since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. 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, etc - but no vehicle is immune...

2014-07-27 - In separate incidents, pickup truck and car burst into flame before 6 AM while parked in coastal North Charleston (South Carolina):

http://charleston.gotnewswire.com/news/police-investigate-two-suspicious-vehicle-fires-in-same-north-charleston-neighborhood
Note: Both of these vehicles burst into flame in the same neighborhood. As the atmospheric contamination proceeds, the clouds of flammable methane and/or hydrogen sulfide are increasing in concentration, size and number, which will result in events like this, where multiple vehicles spontaneously ignite in the same area in the same timeframe. It's happened a few times already, sometimes on highways where one vehicle bursts into flame on one side of the highway and another bursts into flame going the other way, that kind of thing. They have been calling those events 'coincidences' because they can't see any way the fires could be related, completely missing the fact that they shared the same geographic location and thus the same atmosphere. To be fair, nobody has ever accused fire investigators of being the brightest folks around...

Quote: "In another development, Kuala Lumpur CID Chief Senior Asst Comm Gan Kong Meng said closed circuit television recording showed that there was no foul play involved in the blaze."
Note: It is interesting to note that Britain, which is coated with surveillance cameras, almost NEVER shows any arsonists in any of the parked vehicles that have been bursting into flame there but which they consistently blame on arson despite a complete lack of evidence of arson. Now, why would that be? I can only conclude that they don't HAVE any such surveillance footage, because there ARE no 'arsonists' in most of the fires, but they don't want to tell people that, so they just blame these unseen invisible arsonists anyway and then they just don't offer up any evidence and they hope that their populace is primarily comprised of gullible fools...

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and those fires will break out near electrified copper and will look exactly like 'an electrical short', and in fact these fires may cause electrical shorts as insulation burns off. This problem is why so many parked vehicles are bursting into flame, parked vehicles have started themselves and taken off, tractors have exploded in the middle of the night while parked in barns, boats have gone up in flames with nobody aboard, and this same problem has caused many underground electrical explosions and fires, substation fires and explosions, utility pole and transformer fires, and many house fires as well, among other things. This one problem all by itself - and there are many other problems associated with this extinction event - may be plenty enough to eradicate human civilization in its current form from the surface of the Earth...

http://www.bayoubuzz.com/top-stories/item/713954-woman-critical-after-rv-propane-tank-explodes
Note: An increasingly flammable atmosphere will cause - is already causing - more propane tank explosions and fires, and it will also increase the number of gas pipeline leaks leading to explosions and fires since hydrogen sulfide corrodes both steel and concrete. There have been many instances of propane tanks exploding recently, sometimes while just sitting on a porch or whatever and not being used. And while people may or may not smell hydrogen sulfide if any is present in the air mix, methane is completely odorless so people definitely won't smell that, and if a cloud of methane blows by and there's a flame of any kind around then...BOOM!

Quote: "This fire comes 14 months after a limo burst into flames on the San Mateo Bridge, killing five nurses who couldn't escape in time. One month later, 10 older women on their way to a birthday party did get out in time, after an idling stretch limousine burned up in Walnut Creek's Rossmoor neighborhood."
Note: Perhaps they haven't noticed, but it's not just limos that have been burning up, but all vehicles, and not just on the coast in California but everywhere...
2014-07-25 - In separate incidents, three cars burst into flame in Wasilla (Alaska):
http://www.frontiersman.com/news/rash-of-car-fires-keep-firefighters-busy/article_b8feaa34-154b-11e4-9ab3-001a4bcf887a.html
Quote: "None of the fires — two Wednesday afternoon — resulted in an injury or death, and authorities don’t suspect they are related in any way."
Note: Authorities don't suspect they are related in any way because they are completely clueless about the atmospheric contamination problem. When the entire town is devoid of vehicles and homes because they've all burned, will they say the same thing? 'We have no idea why every vehicle and home in Wasilla has exploded or burned, but we don't suspect that the fires and explosions were related in any way!' Let's see how incompetent they want to look to the people who pay their salaries. So far...pretty incompetent!

Quote: "Neighbors said that an awful smell hung in the air right after the explosion. Tiny bits of white insulation and ash floated down in the pre-dawn sky like snow. Larger pieces hung in the trees. Wood and other debris was scattered 600 feet around the home."
Quote: "Investigators are trying to determine what led to the explosion, said Nicole Strong, an ATF spokesman. Strong said the family used propane, which was piped into the home from a 250-gallon tank in the backyard. The tank is intact."
Note: So there was no natural gas in this home and the propane tank was undamaged, and an 'awful smell' was in the air. Sounds like they got hit by some methane mixed with hydrogen sulfide, with the hydrogen sulfide probably acting as the igniter for the methane and also causing the bad smell, but methane probably provided most of the 'fuel load'. 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...

2014-07-21 - Wood crates burst into flame just before midnight at business in Vernon (Canada):
http://globalnews.ca/news/1465864/another-suspicious-fire-in-vernon-2/
Note: They've had a lot of fires here, vehicles, pallets, trash, all the same stuff that's been burning all over the planet. They just haven't noticed that it's not just Vernon having this problem, and being ignorant of the planetary nature of the problem and its specifics, they're blaming an arsonist, despite the fact that there's no evidence, no surveillance footage, no witnesses, and no motive. These crates are probably made of wood held together with steel nails or screws. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel, so a spark pops near a nail, lands on some wood, and you have a fire, so this fire was essentially the same as all the various pallet fires that have been occurring. One would think they'd wake up to the problem before the entire city is destroyed, but maybe not. Time will tell...

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...

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."

http://www.ktva.com/body-found-in-scorched-kenai-barn-965/
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...
