Quote: "On Sunday afternoon, Kelowna RCMP said police had identified the man whose body was found in the truck. Police do not suspect foul play, Sgt. Greg Dickie said, declining further comment."

Quote: "These kind of incidents have been on rise in the recent past."

Note: As predicted, and not just in India, although they've maybe had more mass-casualty incidents involving buses and trains than other countries, but that may simply be because they have more people and many of them ride in buses and trains. In any case, they're obviously closer to waking up to the threat than sleepy Western nations...

Quote: "It rumbled my house I know that much. She was low and she was on fire. She had flames coming from underneath and on the sides. She was burning."

Note: Not sure if they're trying to blame the fire on the bird strike or not. Doesn't really matter that much. What matters is that planes are regularly coming down smoking or on fire now. I do find it exceptionally doubtful that any bird strike would cause a passenger plane to burn on both sides and underneath too. And the person they say saw the 'bird strike' and who they quote actually mentions nothing about a bird, just mentions seeing the plane on fire. The third link up there doesn't even MENTION the fire, which is odd, unless 'someone' is trying to sleight-of-hand people: look at a bird strike, but pay no attention to the BURNING PLANE...

Note: Also see the high-rise that burned in Manhattan. Hmmm, not looking too good for New York City. An underground fire just broke out the day prior and disrupted subway service in Manhattan too, mentioned in the 2014-12-11 update, one of many such fires in recent times. And responders just trained to deal with the aftermath of a 10-kiloton explosion in New York City too, in October, mentioned in the 2014-10-22 update. That's about the maximum size of a big gas plume exploding. And right off the East Coast, a methane hydrate deposit is melting and releasing its stored methane. That deposit contains enough methane to cause 250,000 ten-kiloton explosions, which is roughly the size of the explosion that destroyed Hiroshima...

Quote: "Three construction workers are dead and three other people received hospital treatment after a fire erupted in a downtown Dallas high-rise, prompting the evacuation of thousands of office workers from the building. Dallas Fire Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said fire-rescue workers found the men in basement of the 50-story Thanksgiving Tower. They were in the thermal storage tank that's part of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning unit beneath the building. Evans says the preliminary belief is that the 10 a.m. Thursday fire was electrical in nature because of the thick smoke it gave off, but the cause and ignition point remain undetermined."

Note: Just like all the other underground electrical explosions and fires that have been occurring, except this time it happened to be under a building instead of under a street...

Note: Some of the more notable fires for this date, including some more underground fires, another cruise ship fire, more school buses burning, and yet another person burning to death in a vehicle, which has been happening with increasing regularity. Keep an eye on house fires too - the body counts have been climbing, 4 dead here, 5 dead there, etc. Looks like this extinction event will kill quite a few people when their homes burn, although plenty of people will continue dropping dead too of course...

http://rt.com/usa/212403-massive-fire-downtown-la/

Quote: "A massive fire at a Los Angeles construction site the size of a city block shut down sections of two major freeways for hours early Monday. Hundreds of firefighters battled the blaze, which broke out about 1:10 a.m. PT and could be seen for miles. 'This is a historic fire, what we as firefighters would call a career fire. It's huge,' Fire Department spokesman David Ortiz told NBC News."

Note: This fire occurred after days of rain, and yet this building went up in flames incredibly fast. How can that be? Both methane and hydrogen sulfide, blowing in off the Pacific Ocean, are water-soluble. So that rain probably contained some dissolved gas in it, most likely methane since it's a lighter-than-air gas and is accumulating in the upper atmosphere where rain forms. So the rain fell and then it evaporated, leaving behind some of the methane, which will adsorb onto porous matter, like, say, WOOD. Eventually some hydrogen sulfide blew through, found some rusty iron/steel (this was a construction site), there was some sparking, a spark landed on that accelerant-soaked wood, and WHOOSH, this whole place went up in flames as if the entire gigantic structure had been doused with gasoline, which isn't all that far from the truth. From the full hypothesis: "So far as homes are concerned, vacant homes, unoccupied homes and homes under construction will burn hardest and first but the number of occupied homes burning will also be increasing."

Quote: "The flames broke out as firefighters were battling a different blaze at an apartment complex under construction in downtown Los Angeles."

Note: Same thing here. Under renovation so construction materials were around here too. It's now a race to get buildings completed before they're destroyed by fire and/or explosions and we're increasingly losing that race...

http://lostcoastoutpost.com/2014/dec/8/early-morning-car-fire-eureka-believed-be-suspicio/

Note: Getting burny there on the coast in California, which is not unexpected. It'll get much worse though. I don't think anyone can really imagine just how bad it will get. What if the RAIN ITSELF becomes flammable, like the methane-infused tapwater people have been reporting in recent years around the world? Then we might see huge walls of rainfire sweeping through, causing explosions and shockwaves and destroying everything in the path...

2014-12-08 - Home destroyed by explosion and fire in Agassiz (Canada), near the Fraser River, 2 injured:
http://www.theprogress.com/news/285116561.html

Quote: "A massive house fire that seems to have started with an explosion rocked Agassiz on Sunday night. Witnesses on the scene were first alerted to the fire by a large explosion, many of them said. The house, located at Canterbury and Sheffield, was engulfed in flames and destroyed by the fire. Neighbours watched from their driveways and the streets clogged with cars as people came to see the fire. Two people were reportedly taken to hospital for burn injuries."

http://www.countytimes.co.uk/news/141731/man-dies-after-heater-explosion.aspx
http://www.walesnews.org.uk/news/man-dies-after-heater-explosion

Note: Home is about 200 feet northeast (downwind) of Wylcwm Brook. What were the methane and hydrogen sulfide levels in the air and in the ground at the time of the explosion? Oh, nobody's even bothering to check. Well then, that can't be ruled out as a factor. If flammable gas blows onto a heat source, like a heater, then obviously there's going to be a decent chance of an explosion and fire, and if anyone's nearby then they're apt to die...

Not sure where these folks have been, but they haven't been paying attention to what's going on on this planet. This business is about 1000 feet from the ocean...

2014-12-06 - Several vacant structures go up in flames after 2 AM in coastal Corpus Christi (Texas):
http://www.kristv.com/news/firefighters-battled-multiple-structure-fires/

Quote: "That many houses don't start fire in the same area at the same time, without someone intentionally setting them..."

Note: They very well might! As the atmospheric contamination intensifies, the clouds of methane and/or hydrogen sulfide will become larger - like the huge cloud of hydrogen sulfide that recently hit Moscow - and more concentrated and more numerous, and more and more structures will ignite in the same area at the same time just like this, especially in the wee hours, like these fires, and especially in vacant structures, like these fires, and especially near coasts, like this city. Other cities have experienced the same thing; it's not just Corpus Christi that's vulnerable...

Quote: "A fire destroyed the only store in the Northwest Alaska village of Kivalina on Friday morning. Alaska State Troopers said in a dispatch they received reports at 2 a.m. Friday that the volunteer fire department was responding to a fire in the Kivalina Native Store."

Quote: "Swan said the store is the only source of general products for people in the community. While many live off of subsistence foods, it was the only place to purchase things like diapers, formula and milk. 'It's a major loss,' she said."

Note: Here are a couple of fires that have seriously affected the lives of numerous people, one because freshwater is no longer available to the residents and the other because it was the only place in the area to purchase important consumer products. As the fires and explosions around the world continue to escalate, there will be more fires just like these, grinding away at human civilization. Also note the locations: coast on an island, and coast in Alaska...

Quote: "A tank storing propane near the home was intact. 'I have been doing this (firefighting) for 26-27 years,' Shoemaker said. 'I have seen a lot, but this has to be the most destructive thing I have personally witnessed as a firefighter. ... I have never seen anything like this before.'"

Note: Heh, I like that phrasing: 'propane buildup blamed'. Doesn't mean propane had anything at all to do with this explosion and fire, but it does state truthfully that that's what they're blaming it on. What were the methane and hydrogen levels in the home, in the ground and in the air at the time? Oh, nobody even bothered to check, so they can't rule out any of that as a factor...

2014-12-03 - School bus bursts into flame at 4:15 AM while parked in bus barn, fire spreads to other buses, in Oklahoma City (Oklahoma), school canceled:

http://www.newson6.com/story/27534431/classes-canceled-at-crooked-oak-schools-wednesday-following-bus-barn-fire

Quote: "The fire burned out one bus and damaged four others. Fire crews put the flames out quickly, but had problems getting into the facility because the electric panel for the gate also caught on fire."

Note: So a bus burst into flame AND the electric panel for the gate also burst into flame. That is VERY much like an event where an SUV burst into flame at one home and at the same time a dimmer switch burst into flame on the home next door, at 3:30 AM, in Stuttgart (Arkansas), mentioned in the 2013-02-05 update. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and animals and people sickening or dying more common during those hours...

Note: Five cars went up in flames the day prior while parked in a parking garage at a waterfront casino in coastal Suquamish (Washington), mentioned in the 2014-12-02 update. All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, so parking a vehicle near anything you don't want to see burned is increasingly risky. The more vehicles parked near each other, the greater the chance that multiple vehicles will burn when ANY of them ignites...

Quote: "A 15-year-old girl had been found dead with burn injuries. The death is being treated as unexplained and officers are investigating the circumstances."

Note: If your clothes become contaminated with hydrogen sulfide and/or methane, then they can ignite very easily, even via static electricity, and burn you to death. This is most likely to happen when you're outdoors and fully exposed to the atmosphere. Edmondsham is located along a stream that flows into the River Allen...

http://www.chinookobserver.com/co/local-news/20141202/school-bus-catches-fire-no-one-injured

Note: These are the 2nd and 3rd school buses to burn in December and the 140th and 141st school buses to burn since May 1. More vehicles are burning up generally, so that means more school buses are burning up too. This is a serious problem, even if people aren't recognizing it. No one got hurt or killed in these school bus fires, but they have in previous fires and they will again. I suppose parents will recognize the problem, to some degree anyway, one family at a time as children burn to death as more school buses ignite. I'm not entirely sure that's the best plan, hiding the problem while children end up burning to death, but that does seem to be the plan for now...

2014-12-02 - Home destroyed by explosion in Chicago (Illinois), near Lake Michigan:
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/12/02/home-explodes-in-morgan-park/

http://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20141202/morgan-park/natural-gas-explosion-house-fire-reported-morgan-park
http://abc7chicago.com/news/morgan-park-house-explodes-neighbors-evacuated/418470/

Quote: "Joe Stull smelled natural gas in his home near Crescent Park at 8 a.m. and later spotted a small fire beneath the boiler. Stull, a retired Chicago fireman, immediately called 911. Crews arrived about 10 minutes later to extinguish the fire and investigate the suspicious smell. The firemen shut off the gas to Stull's home and instructed him to pour water down the drains in his basement, as it appeared to be the source of the smell."

Note: Nobody smelled natural gas. Natural gas is odorless. They smelled 'rotten egg' odor. They add methyl mercaptan to natural gas and that smells like 'rotten eggs', but so does hydrogen sulfide, at least at lowish concentrations. And coming from the DRAIN in the BASEMENT? That sounds very much like hydrogen sulfide there. A woman was gassed to death in her home by hydrogen sulfide that had infiltrated her home via the sewer because of a non-functioning sewer trap in Kansas City (Missouri), mentioned in the 2013-07-04 update. That said, hydrogen sulfide is corrosive to steel and concrete and not only will it cause natural gas leaks but it will also serve as the igniter if there's any electrified copper or rusty iron/steel around, and often there's one or the other, if not both.

Also see the school bus that burst into flame on I-57 and the person found burned to death in a burning van near a train station on the South Shore in Chicago and the deadly house fire that killed a woman in the Portage Park area on this day. A residential building also recently exploded and collapsed in Chicago, pancaked, injuring 2 people, mentioned in the 2014-11-23 update. A few days before that, a transit bus burst into flame at 5:45 AM on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, mentioned in the 2014-11-18 update. And so on...
