Event Update For 2014-08-11

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.

Quote: "It is understood the HMAS Bundaberg was valued at around $54 million and damages will most likely see the vessel written off."

Quote: "Initial reports were that a 70-foot boat was ablaze, however the HMAS Bundaberg is much larger. The Armidale-class patrol boat is about 56 metres long and was commissioned in 2007."

Note: This might be the most costly ship fire so far. A couple of British aircraft carriers have burst into flame, but the damage wasn't too severe in either case. An Indian submarine exploded and sank in coastal Mumbai (India), killing everyone on board, but they didn't list a dollar value for that loss. A Canadian military ship was virtually destroyed by fire but no dollar amount was listed for that ship either, although I bet that one and the exploding submarine were pretty costly...

http://krqe.com/2014/08/08/firefighter-shortage-not-helping-catch-arsonist/

Note: They're assuming there's an arsonist despite there being no motive, no surveillance footage, no witnesses, no nothin'. Maybe there is an arsonist and maybe there isn't, but given all the vehicles (parked or not) spontaneously igniting, especially in the wee hours as with these fires in Roswell, that's not a wise assumption to make. In fact, competent investigators are trained not to make assumptions. On the plus side, if you're looking for a job, they're hiring here, and you obviously don't need to be competent! Schwing!

http://blogs.seattletimes.com/today/2014/08/van-driver-dies-after-driving-down-steps-at-uw-tacoma/

Quote: "It appears she was having some mechanical difficulties in the car that possibly caused the brakes to fail..."

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, dump trucks, RVs, etc - but no vehicle is immune...

Note: From 2008 but relevant. And who knows how bad things have gotten since then. A Google-funded $60 million research ship was to study the anoxic 'dead zone' off British Columbia, mentioned in the 2013-08-01 update, so 'someone' knows the growing anoxic zones are a serious problem...
