Event Update For 2014-08-31

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.

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/11443761.UPDATE__Investigation_underway_after_explosion_at_factory_on_edge_of_New_Forest_injures_five_fire_fighters/

Quote: "Chloe Adams, 28, an assistant merchandiser who lives in a block of flats in Briton Street, In the centre of Southampton, said: 'The entire flat jolted but without any obvious cause. There was a sudden gust of wind that blew through but for no reason. It was all a bit eerie. I can't believe it was caused by a fire so far away. It must have be such a big explosion to be felt this distance.' The warehouse, which is home to a lorry servicing unit, is located on an industrial park in Cracknore Hard, close to the military base in Marchwood. It is understood that the one-storey steel structure, which measures 35m x 25m, was empty when the fire started and there have been no reports of any injuries."

Quote: "Heidi Rehman, 41, a fundraiser for The Haven Wessex, who lives in Kestrel Close, Marchwood: "It shook every house in the village and was heard the other side of Southampton. 'It smells of gas. Our whole house shook. We felt all the doors and the windows shake for several seconds like a mini earthquake.'"

Note: 'Smells of gas' means 'rotten egg' odor. Right on the coast, a vehicle facility, massive explosions and fire - that smell may have been hydrogen sulfide, probably blowing in off the ocean with some methane...

Quote: "He told police he opened up the hatches and turned on the blower to ventilate the engine, then went back into the house to finish getting ready. Thompson says Edwards was inside the house for about ten to fifteen minutes, which she says is plenty of time to properly ventilate the system in normal circumstances. Edwards told police he, his wife, his daughter, and his two friends from California boarded the boat and backed up preparing to leave the dock, but he says when he shifted the boat forward, the boat burst into flames. Thomson says all five people were thrown overboard when the boat exploded. It was not clear if they were thrown by the force of the explosion or they jumped overboard."

http://www.wthr.com/story/26416654/2014/08/31/burned-body-found-behind-indianapolis-home

Quote: "Detectives do not believe the victim was killed at the location she was found, but killed elsewhere and brought to the location where she was found."

Quote: "Authorities said the 15-year-old was last seen at on the porch of a relative's house near the corner of 16th and Mount streets at 6 a.m. Sunday."

Note: They ASSUME she was killed, then burned, then someone decided to try to sneak her corpse into this populated area and leave it in a backyard. It is extremely doubtful that anybody would risk getting caught transporting a little girl's corpse into a populated area like this when there are remote areas that are easily accessible for such purposes. She disappeared during the wee hours, which is right when a lot of fires are happening, since that's when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which pushes flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide floating in the air above closer to the ground. This looks just like all the other people that have been burning to death in recent times. It's unfortunate that they don't let people be cops if they score too HIGH on intelligence tests because it's really starting to look like our mentally handicapped schools and our detective schools got mixed up somehow...

Note: Heh, 'likely drug overdose'. I said they'd be using that excuse for people being found dead without any injury marks, and they are. There's no way to know that without a tox screen, so they're just throwing out an assumption and hoping peoples' attention spans are 1 or 2 days, which is probably the case. Also, using drugs does not in any way make one immune to hydrogen sulfide poisoning, so there will be many people who take drugs who will nevertheless be killed by hydrogen sulfide. If that weren't the case then we'd ALL be on drugs all the time...
