Event Update For 2014-10-14

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.

2014-10-14 - Unprecedented spike in vehicle fires hits Ghana:
http://www.ghananewsagency.org/social/central-region-experiences-more-vehicle-fires-81016

Quote: "Cape Coast, Oct. 14, GNA - The Acting Chief Fire Officer (ACFO) of the Central Region, Mr John Amponsah Tetteh has expressed concern about the high rate of vehicle fires recorded in the Region this year. He said from January to October 55 vehicle fires were recorded and described it as unprecedented and urged drivers to regularly check the electrical wiring of their vehicles and also to constantly maintain their vehicles."

Note: It isn't just Ghana that's having the vehicles-igniting problem...

2014-10-14 - String of vehicle fires hits the Liberty Lake area (Washington):

2014-10-14 - Cars regularly going up in flames in the wee hours while parked in Northampton (Britain):
http://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/crime/arsonists-set-two-more-cars-on-fire-in-northampton-as-residents-become-increasingly-concerned-1-6359229

Note: Blamed on arson in this case, but as usual they haven't eliminated accidental causes, so they don't know that it's arson and it's merely an assumption. Competent investigators eliminate accidental causes and don't jump to conclusions like that. The question is, are they being incompetent on purpose, because they're trying to hide what's happening and deceive the public, or are they just naturally incompetent, and there's no way to be sure which it is. I suspect the former, but I will concede that there actually ARE a lot of incompetent people out there and that might include these investigators...

Quote: "I think people are concerned by the sudden and frequent nature of the incidents over recent weeks, and by the fact that these are incidents taking place in very close proximity to people’s homes. That combined with a perception that there is no visibility or plan by the authorities to tackle the problem."

Note: They're taking place near peoples' homes because that's where people are parking their vehicles!

2014-10-14 - Three semi tractors destroyed by fire while parked at trucking business in Auburn (Washington):
http://www.auburn-reporter.com/news/279187901.html

Quote: "VRFA units responding reported a large thermal column from several blocks away and arrived to find three semi-trucks fully involved. Crews quickly established multiple water supplies and used deck guns to knock the fire down. After several minutes firefighters were able to bring the fire under control. All three trucks were completely destroyed in the blaze."

Note: Captain Hindsight says, "They shouldn't have parked them close to each other." Thanks, Captain Hindsight!

2014-10-14 - Three garbage trucks destroyed by fire while parked at business in Asheboro (North Carolina):
http://courier-tribune.com/news/fire-central-carolina-waste-may-be-electrical

Note: Same thing here. If people keep parking vehicles next to other vehicles then they're just going to compound the chances that they lose multiple vehicles when ANY of them spontaneously ignites. This was half their fleet of trucks here. Ah well, who needs garbage pickup anyway, amiright?!
 

2014-10-14 - Home destroyed by explosion and fire just before 6 AM in Aurora (Colorado), 1 killed:
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/crews-fighting-massive-house-fire-in-aurora
http://www.9news.com/story/news/local/2014/10/14/house-fire-aurora/17239357/

Quote: "Turner said he and his grandson heard a loud boom just before 6 a.m. 'We looked over and the house was immediately on fire,' he said."

Note: Blamed on a gas leak. How do they know that the explosion didn't CAUSE the gas leak? They don't. What were the methane and hydrogen sulfide levels in the air and ground around that house? Oh, nobody checked, so they don't know what effect that might have had either. In short, they don't actually know anything at all except that this house exploded and burned in the wee hours and AFTER the explosion the gas lines had been severed. Doesn't look any different from the houses that have had no utilities connected at all that have exploded and burned...

2014-10-14 - Mysterious explosion left debris field on radar, near Shreveport (Louisiana):
http://www.kltv.com/story/26783552/debris-field-spotted-on-radar-at-time-of-boom-heard-around-the-arklatex

Note: I mentioned this mysterious explosion the day prior, in the 2014-10-13 update, but this story eliminates a lot of possibilities. It wasn't a sonic boom, because they don't leave a radar signature. It wasn't a business, because they're all okay. It wasn't the ammo stockpile in Minden exploding (again), because that's okay. It wasn't an earthquake or anything seismic, because there was no seismic activity. Soooo...this might have been another one of those underground methane explosions like those that created craters in Siberia recently, mentioned in the 2014-08-04 update. Such an explosion could leave a radar signature, probably mostly smoke and water vapor. If that's what caused this massive explosion then there is a hole in the ground somewhere out there, which may have filled with water and turned into a new pond by now, possibly out in the middle of nowhere in the Shreveport area...

2014-10-14 - Passenger plane's landing gear bursts into flame, plane makes emergency landing in Abilene (Texas):
http://www.reporternews.com/news/local-news/plane-makes-emergency-landing-at-abilene-regional-airport_43558161

Quote: "Communications over the fire dispatch indicated a possible fire in the landing gear on the plane with more than 50 people aboard. An airport employee said the plane’s crew apparently smelled smoke in the wheel well of the CRJ-700."

Water rescue units and support vehicles from St Austell were also in attendance at the fire just after midnight..."

Quote: "Damage was limited to a backyard cottage, garage, small travel trailer, fencing and several trees."

2014-10-14 - Vehicles and garage destroyed by fire at 4:15 AM, home damaged, family flees, in Vancouver (Washington):
http://koin.com/2014/10/14/crews-battling-2nd-alarm-house-fire-in-vancouver/

Quote: "Firefighters fought Tuesady morning to get the upper hand on a second-alarm fire near Burnt Bridge Creek Elementary School."

Quote: "The fire, which was reported shortly after 4:15 a.m.according to dispatchers, began in the garage, then moved inside the home and into the attic. Firefighters worried the blaze would spread to the house next door and called in a second alarm. Crews are in the process of breaking down some of the vehicles inside the garage, which is destroyed."

Note: So this fire began in the garage, and destroyed vehicles parked there. One of those vehicles probably spontaneously ignited, as many are. It doesn't matter if they're parked or running - they're burning either way. Park a vehicle inside an attached garage or near your home at your own risk...

http://www.recordnet.com/article/20141014/NEWS/141019799

Quote: "No one who was present while firefighters were on the scene saw how the fire started, Silski said."

Note: They're assuming arson. I guess they haven't noticed that palm trees have spontaneously ignited a number of times and of course parked vehicles have been spontaneously igniting all over the place for years. It appears that nobody pays fire investigators to be observant...

http://www.sanluisobispo.com/2014/10/14/3295433/fires-sinsheimer-park.html

Note: One fire was a pallet of railroad stuff, two fires were in trash bins, one was vegetation along railroad tracks, two fires were along a creek, and they don't say what the other fires were. So, pallet, trash, creek, wee hours, no witnesses, no motive, no evidence of any kind that humans were involved in any of these fires...but they assume arson anyway. Can't we just get some monkeys and feed them bananas when they hit an 'arson' button? Same level of competence, no loss there, but waaaay cheaper for the taxpayers. Win-win for monkeys AND taxpayers!

http://www.desertsun.com/videos/news/traffic/2014/10/14/17263823/
http://www.wopular.com/semi-catches-fire-i-10

Note: Doesn't look like this fire had anything to do with the crash, at least not directly. It appears to have originated in the rear wheels or brakes of the semi tractor or maybe the front wheels or brakes of the trailer, so he probably hit the brakes to avoid the crash and the brakes and/or wheels ignited and burned up those cars...

http://www.myfox28columbus.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/OVERNIGHT-Vehicles-Collide-and-Catch-Fire-3-Adults-and-4-Children-Recovering-50322.shtml

Quote: "The semi that struck the vehicles overturned and caught fire, troopers said, and that trucker was revived by doctors."

Note: So the driver that plowed into the other vehicles and caught fire, his heart was stopped and he was resuscitated. He may have gotten a whiff of hydrogen sulfide and lost consciousness and started dying and that's what caused this crash to occur in the first place. That's happening to people driving cars too, of course, but a rinky-dink car isn't as apt to cause damage like a big rig or a bus, so the big rigs and buses get the most media attention. People barely notice when a car veers off the road at 3 AM, hits a tree, bursts into flame and incinerates the driver...

2014-10-14 - Ebola death rate tops 70%:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-2792421/WHO-10-000-new-Ebola-cases-week-seen.html

Note: Combine that death rate with the long three-week incubation period and this is really starting to look like a potential doomsday virus, one that is spreading out of control. It's not quite as deadly as the fictional Captain Trips from The Stand, but it's not so far from it either. Is this Ebola outbreak a worse problem than the atmosphere being contaminated by hydrogen sulfide and methane? No, because the atmospheric contamination problem will last for thousands of years (or more) and that will kill pretty much everything, not just a few species. But in the short term, for human beings in particular, Ebola could end up seriously killing the crap out of us. Of course, they're not mutually incompatible problems and we have both...
