Event Update For 2015-02-16

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.

2015-02-16 - Oil train derails, cars crash into the Kanawha River, explosions and fire ensue, near Charleston (West Virginia):

http://www.wsaz.com/home/headlines/Train-Derailment-Causes-Fire-near-Montgomery-Evacuation-Underway-292096241.html

Quote: "Kanawha County 911 dispatchers tell WSAZ the train is carrying crude oil and several of the cars are in the river. 911 dispatchers say there was an explosion that caught a few homes on fire. WSAZ has also learned several train cars are also on fire. Emergency crews say water systems from Montgomery, downstream have been notified to close their intakes. Crews also urge anyone who lives in a community with an independent water system, to conserve water."

Note: Check out the explosion on that liveleak video. The guy talking and being filmed gets a seriously worried look on his face as a MASSIVE explosion occurs in the background, with a monumental fireball expanding into the sky. I don't blame him for looking worried! This train was carrying 3 million gallons of oil so I imagine it'll be burning for quite a while...

2015-02-16 - Pile of scrap metal erupts in flame at metal recycling business in Ogden (Canada):
http://www.newstalk770.com/2015/02/15/54865/

Quote: "He says luckily crews were able to get a handle on the blaze quickly, but it’s to early to speculate a cause. 'The fire was down within the pile so that in it self (means) it could have combusted on its own'..."

Note: Yep, pretty hard to use the old blame-invisible-arsonists tactic (a favorite of British fire officials) for a fire at the bottom of a giant pile of scrap metal. So obviously this pile of metal did spontaneously combust. What would make a pile of metal burst into flame? Hydrogen sulfide would - it's reactive with rusty iron/steel, no other ignition source necessary, and being a heavier-than-air gas, it will tend to accumulate at the bottom of scrap piles.

I've never seen anyone propose an alternative explanation for fires like this, because there isn't one. Ergo, we have a hydrogen sulfide problem with the atmosphere. And that either fully or at least partially explains many OTHER mysteries too: booms and flashes of light in the sky, people and animals dropping dead, underground fires and explosions, strange odors sickening people, giant clouds of hydrogen sulfide hitting major cities like Moscow and Kuwait City, a rise in recycling facility fires so severe that the problem drove major international insurers out of the market, people being found mysteriously dead after foaming at the mouth or bleeding from nose/mouth/ears, people stripping naked and going crazy, animals and children sporadically 'dying' and 'coming back to life', parked vehicles igniting and burning down homes and businesses in the middle of the night, and on and on. Ogden is located on the eastern (downwind) banks of the Bow River...
