Event Update For 2015-02-13





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.

2015-02-13 - Small plane bursts into flame on the runway at St. George Municipal Airport (Utah):
http://www.thespectrum.com/story/news/local/2015/02/14/airplane-brakes-catch-fire/23404583/
https://www.stgeorgeutah.com/news/archive/2015/02/14/ccj-fire-grounds-private-plane-at-st-george-airport/

Note: Brake fire. Brake pads and tire rubber are adsorbing hydrogen sulfide and methane. Then when brakes are applied, an unusual amount of heat is generated. 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. This problem hits massive vehicles the worst - like fire trucks, buses, tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, large RVs, etc, but no vehicle is immune. This is the 16th aircraft to smoke or burn in 2015...

If you hear that in your home, you might wanna check and see if anything is on fire, especially stuff outdoors or near electrified copper or near any kind of rusty iron/steel, like a vehicle...

2015-02-13 - Rotten egg odor hits school in Midwest City (Oklahoma), school evacuated, nothing found:
http://www.okcfox.com/story/28102782/telstar-elementary-school-in-mwc-evacuated-because-of-gas-leak
http://kfor.com/2015/02/13/fire-department-no-evidence-of-gas-leak-after-elementary-school-evacuated/

Note: Someone called in a smell of natural gas. Natural gas is odorless, but they add methyl mercaptan to it, which smells like rotten eggs. But so does hydrogen sulfide at low concentrations, so this was probably low-level hydrogen sulfide, which would explain why they detected no natural gas anywhere. They said it may have come from a nearby oil well. That very well could be: hydrogen sulfide is what makes oil and natural gas 'sour' and is eventually removed from the oil/gas at refineries. So that nearby oil well may be leaking poison gas onto this area from time to time...
