Event Update For 2015-03-20

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.

Quote: "It was a horrific scene: A Pittsburgh homeless man was seen running toward downtown covered in flames early this morning..."

Note: What if you flick a lighter right as a gas plume blows over you? There's apt to be a 'flash fire' or an explosion, and it may ignite you and destroy the lighter. I suspect that's what happened here. Not a lighter defect, just a lighter being used normally, but at a bad time. That's probably how the lady burned to death on her porch while having a cig in Devine (Texas), mentioned in the 2015-03-02 update, and that's also probably how the mother burned to death on her porch while having a cig in The Woodlands (Texas), mentioned in the 2013-12-12 update. There've been a fair number of similar fires, including bonfires exploding and people being found mysteriously dead with burn injuries...
