Event Update For 2014-08-12

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.

Note: Need a short-but-descriptive word for this, so I'm going with 'slumper'. If TWO people slump over while driving separate vehicles and hit each other head-on then I guess it'd be a 'slumper party'. (There's no need to tell me that I have a warped sense of humor - I am well aware of that!) This man may have died while driving. He was the fatality...

2014-08-12 - Tractor trailer slams into bridge, bursts into flame, on I-70 near Goodland (Kansas), second accident too:
http://ksffa.wordpress.com/2014/08/13/truck-catches-fire-on-interstate-70/

Quote: "Traffic was diverted onto U.S. 24 at mile marker 12, but a second accident occurred near the same bridge in the eastbound lanes. While crews were busy with the first accident, a sport utility vehicle pulling a trailer suffered a blown tire, causing it to hit the bridge."

Note: I bet that SUV was braking for slowed traffic from the tractor trailer crash and that created enough heat to explode the tire, and then it hit that same bridge. The semi's tires and/or brakes may have been on fire too, for that matter. 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...

http://www.elpasotimes.com/news/ci_26319747/lancaster-elementary-evacuated-temporarily-after-natural-gas-odor

Note: Gas workers inspected and found no leaks. This was probably hydrogen sulfide in low concentration, which smells like 'rotten eggs', just as does the mercaptan which is added to odorless natural gas so that it has any odor at all. Eventually these clouds of gas will become large enough and concentrated enough to strike all of the occupants of schools or other buildings dead. There have been many similar incidents, especially in the last few years, as the atmospheric contamination has escalated, along with a concurrent rise in fires and explosions worldwide since hydrogen sulfide is not just deadly but also highly reactive and explosively flammable...
