Event Update For 2014-10-20

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.

2014-10-20 - Underground electrical explosion and fire hits Woodbridge Road in Ipswich (Britain):
http://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/ipswich_power_restored_to_homes_in_woodbridge_road_following_underground_electrical_fault_but_motorists_can_now_expect_delays_this_morning_1_3812324

Quote: "The incident was reported at 10.30pm yesterday and was caused by a fault on an underground electrical junction box. It is also thought to have caused some damage to the pavement. A total of 23 properties lost power initially as a result of the explosion, but power was restored to all homes in stages between 3.30am and 4.30am today."

2014-10-20 - Underground fire erupts near homes at Staback Park in Eynon (Pennsylvania), near Archbald:

http://wnep.com/2014/10/21/dep-to-investigate-coal-waste-fire/

Quote: "This all started with an odor neighbors have smelled, at times, for months. 'I was very worried and concerned and we were scared about the odor, too, because I have children,' said Lorie Bonczaiewicz. Bonczaiewicz is glad seeing all the activity to put out the fire, but nervous, too. This is a lot bigger than what she expected when she saw some smoke coming from the ground the past week or so after smelling that odor for a while. 'For about a year we were smelling an odor. It was like sulfur or something more than that. It was off and on so we notified the borough.'"

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas so it tends to seek out low-lying areas, like underground facilities. It's also highly flammable and reactive with numerous materials, including rusty iron/steel and electrified copper. As a consequence, as the atmosphere is increasingly contaminated there have been increasing numbers of underground explosions and fires, often electrical but not always. There will be many more underground explosions and fires as time goes on. The upward trend in such events is already very obvious...

http://myfox8.com/2014/10/20/firefighters-respond-to-house-fire-in-rockingham-co/

Quote: "Rockingham County Fire Marshal Robert Cardwell said it will be nearly impossible to determine the exact cause of the explosion due to all the damage. However, investigators are looking at the possibility that stolen copper piping allowed propane to accumulate in the home until something ignited it."

Note: Even assuming that there were some copper thieves, what ignited that gas? Probably the Ghostly Match...

http://www.newsyorkshire.co.uk/news/fire-crews-tackle-blaze-at-rotherham-factory

Quote: "Firefighters dealt with a blaze at a South Yorkshire factory after a pile of titanium metal filings went up in flames."

Note: Just another pile of metal bursting into flame, nothing strange about that! From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers."

2014-10-20 - Garage with gas huffers explodes in coastal Auckland (New Zealand), 3 injured:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/10641432/Screams-after-Auckland-huffing-explosion

Quote: "Hikitapau said he there was a 'toxic' smell in the air, so he made sure his family was safe."

Note: What ignited the gas? Probably the Ghostly Match, especially considering the proximity to the coast here. Huffing will ALWAYS involve flammable vapors in the air - that's the whole point - so it's now more dangerous than it ever was before...

2014-10-20 - Boat and pickup truck go up in flames while parked at home in Beach Haven (Pennsylvania), nobody there:
http://www.pressenterpriseonline.com/daily/102014/page/3/story/truck-boat-burn-beach-haven-blaze-is-under-investigation

Note: Beach Haven is located on the banks of the Susquehanna River. The owners were out of town. It's very unwise now to leave your home with a vehicle parked near it, or to leave a vehicle parked near another vehicle...

Quote: "An amusement ride being transported on Interstate 26 West Monday caught fire, briefly slowing traffic on the roadway. The fire took place at the 108 mile marker, which is near the Bush River Road exit. What caused it to ignite isn't known, but state troopers say the tractor-trailer pulled over to the side of the road before the flames started. No one was injured. The ride appears to be the one known as the 'Dizzy Dragon.'"

2014-10-20 - Woman, 19, found dead in canal, foaming from the mouth, near Uttara (India):
http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/Girls-Body-Found-Near-Uttara/2014/10/22/article2489139.ece

Quote: "Sources said when the body was found by police, foam was coming out of the mouth. Preliminary investigation revealed that Pakei had committed suicide by consuming poison."

Note: The water in that canal may have been contaminated by hydrogen sulfide, which can cause foaming from the mouth. Numerous people have been found dead foaming at the mouth in the last couple of years, sometimes multiple people in a single incident, and at least once two men died foaming at the mouth while driving a vehicle. By 'preliminary investigation' they mean that they found a person dead and foaming at the mouth and made an assumption that the person did it to themselves. Competent investigators don't make assumptions like that, or any assumptions at all for that matter. I guess they have to make up something to tell their people though. They're definitely very predictable, especially in India, like robots executing a script...
