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.

Note: This is the first school bus/van to burst into flame in August, and the 57th since May 1st. There are more vehicles of all kinds bursting into flame, including school buses, so just as with all the people burning to death in cars, children will be - and sometimes are - getting burned to death when school buses burst into flame too, as in this case...

2014-08-04 - Home explodes in Thergaon (India), 5 injured:
http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/five-from-family-injured-after-lpg-explosion-in-thergaon/
Quote: "There was panic and confusion among residents as the LPG cylinder in the house remained intact. But, it should be understood that LPG cylinder did not explode. Had it been a cylinder blast, the damage could have been more severe. It was the leaked gas from the cylinder that caused the explosion."
Note: Well, they didn't check the methane levels in the air, so they don't know if it was leaked gas from that cylinder or not. They're superb at making assumptions, I'll give them that. Of course, competent fire investigators are trained NOT to make assumptions. They're no more derptastic than fire investigators elsewhere though...

http://sumberberitasemasa.blogspot.com/2014/08/new-post-spyshots-ford-super-duty-truck.html
Quote: "An automotive spy photographer was on the scene in California when a fire broke out in the driver’s side front wheel well of the heavily camouflaged vehicle ..."
Quote: "No one was injured during the incident, but after 21 minutes and several explosions the fire was out and the only things left were the truck’s frame, engine block, and blobs of melted aluminum. The last of those apparently confirms an industry rumor that the next F-Series Super Duty will join the upcoming 2015 F-150 in using lightweight aluminum bodywork, a radical change for the segment."
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. The change to aluminum may help with fires though - hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel, so eliminating all that steel should help cut down on at least some fires...

The fire happened around 5 p.m. at a home in the 7300 block of Mexico Road near Mid Rivers Mall Drive. The firefighters were on their way to a car fire on Mexico Road, when they saw smoke coming from this home. They stopped and found a man inside had died."
Note: So at roughly the same time, in the same area, near some rivers, a car burst into flame and a deadly house fire killed a man. Coincidence? Extremely doubtful...

Note: They sure are quick to blame drugs. Well guess what - everybody is dying, including people who do drugs, and people who don't do drugs too. And just because you do some drugs doesn't mean that you're suddenly invulnerable to hydrogen sulfide poisoning, else we'd ALL be on drugs. The tox results may take as long as six months. In other words, they SAY it was drugs - without a tox test of any kind - and then the story disappears from peoples' minds. They want this story to go away, immediately. Well, considering a car just burst into flame the day after this event in Worcester, and considering a 'rotten egg' odor was blowing in off the ocean in Quincy (Massachusetts), I'm not assuming anything. It's VERY possible these three people got poisoned to death, and not by drugs, though it's certainly possible that they were ALSO on drugs...
2014-08-04 - Two fishermen killed by hydrogen sulfide, one injured, in ship hold in Strandbygaard Harbour (Denmark):
http://nordjyske.dk/nyheder/navne-frigivet-paa-doede-fiskere/2e198b2e-bad3-42fe-90c4-ab362b1c5c27/112/1513
http://www.vesseltracker.com/en/Ships/Fn-370-Susanne-H-I70583.html
Quote: "According to police, the two fishermen died because of toxic hydrogen sulphide fumes from the load of trash fish."
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is produced by rotting biomatter, but it is also blowing around in the atmosphere and, being a heavier-than-air gas, once it gets inside a ship it will settle into the hold, just as when it infiltrates a home it will tend to settle into basements...

2014-08-04 - Large amounts of methane found in the craters of the recently explosively-formed sinkholes in Siberia (Russia):
http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/08/01/3466466/siberian-craters-permafrost-climate-change/
http://www.washingtonpost.com/express/wp/2014/08/05/the-story-behind-the-siberian-sinkhole-is-on-todays-cover/
Quote: "Russian scientists sent to the site are now providing first-hand data showing that unusually high concentrations of methane of up to 9.6 percent were present at the bottom of the first large crater shortly after it was discovered on July 16. Andrei Plekhanov, an archaeologist at the Scientific Centre of Arctic Studies in Salekhard, Russia, who led an expedition to the crater, told The Journal Nature that air normally contains just 0.000179 percent methane."
Note: So not only is methane bubbling up from methane clathrates in the oceans around the world, now it is simply exploding out of the ground too. Welp, this definitely looks like the end, but let's stay for the credits!

http://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/local/stayton/2014/08/06/helicopter-activity-alarms-river-recreationists/13496671/
Quote: "'If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it,' Armstrong said, referring to what she described as a helicopter spraying something above dozens of river recreationists sometime around 4 p.m. Armstrong said her party put in at Green's Bridge and was floating toward Jefferson when the incident occurred. 'I was very upset," she said. "About half way down (the river trip) a helicopter flew directly overhead and sprayed something. It then circled and flew off. It was really weird as there was a lot of people floating that day with kids. I wanted to get to the bottom of it.' She's not alone."
Note: So, let's say some hydrogen sulfide accumulates along a river, which, being a heavier-than-air gas, is happening. And let's say 'they' - the authorities - know it's there, and they don't want to have a bunch of people suddenly sickening and dying, because that might alarm people. What are the options? Well, one option would be to spray something that reacts away the hydrogen sulfide...
2014-08-04 - Coldest August morning in 126 years hits Adelaide (Australia):
http://www.sott.net/article/283210-Adelaide-wakes-to-its-coldest-August-morning-in-126-years
Quote: "Adelaide has woken to its coldest start to an August day in 126 years and it was colder across other parts of South Australia. At 6:30am (ACST) the temperature was down to 0.9 degrees Celsius. The weather bureau said it was the coldest August morning since 1888. It was also the coldest day Adelaide has experienced in any month in six years."
Note: Hmm, another sign of escalating volcanic winter? Could be. It won't go from 'normal' to heavy volcanic winter overnight. If volcanic winter is in the cards - and given the rising volcanic activity around the world it very well could be - then it will show itself progressively, with increasing numbers of 'cold' events like this one. There have been a fair number of other anomalous 'cold' events in the last year or two as well...

http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/could-hackers-really-attack-passenger-jet-through-wi-fi-n172181
Quote: "A cybersecurity consultant by the name of Ruben Santamarta says that airplanes can be hacked through on-board Wi-Fi Internet service and in-flight entertainment systems, Reuters reports.
