http://wane.com/2015/03/02/fwcs-bus-evacuated-after-electrical-short/

An ambulance was called the scene and took the driver to the hospital for further observation. The students were placed onto another bus and taken home. Some children did report feeling ill and were checked at the scene but none of them were taken to a hospital."

2015-03-03 - Presidential plane bursts into flame at Kotoka International Airport (Ghana):
http://www.nigerianeye.com/2015/03/ghana-presidential-jet-catches-fire-at.html
http://danilnews.com/news/ghana-presidential-jet-catches-fire-at-kotoka-airport

Quote: "It went on further to state that 'during the second run for take-off, the aircraft lost two main left wheels. In spite of the severe veering of the aircraft to the left, they managed to slow and successfully turned off the runway without veering into the shoulders of the runway. The aircraft stopped successfully. It was observed however that the left wheels were on fire. Emergency procedures were followed with the disembarkation of the passengers and the fighting of the fire.'"

Note: The president wasn't aboard. The tires ignited, and two of them blew. From the full hypothesis: "Massive vehicles such as big RVs, buses, tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and car-haulers will be destroyed by fire in escalating numbers after tires or brakes ignite." A big jetliner would qualify as a massive vehicle too, though usually their tires simply explode, and it usually happens after landing, when they hit the brakes hard. Here's a Google Maps link of the area. This is the 24th aircraft to smoke or burn in 2015...

Quote: "The cause remains under investigation, but officials are looking into the possibility that smoking materials may have played a role in the fire."

Note: Don't sprain your wrists grasping at straws there, officials! Apparently, after thousands of incidents involving parked vehicles spontaneously igniting, they still can't comprehend that parked vehicles are spontaneously igniting. Welp, maybe they'll wake up before they're dead and maybe they won't. This parking lot is just northeast (downwind) of Saccarappa Falls and whatever river that is that feeds it and flows to the ocean, not far away. Here's a Google Maps link of the area...

Note: East Coast sure is getting hit hard by these underground explosions and fires. Luckily it ONLY snows on the East Coast, else this 'salt and snow' problem would be affecting other cities just as bad as this elsewhere too! Wait, it DOES snow elsewhere?

Are they actually unaware of the 5 trillion pounds of explosively flammable methane dissociating right off the East Coast there? A child of five is smart enough to put 2 and 2 together here. Somebody fetch a child of five!

2015-03-05 - Explosion and fireball hit man's back yard at home in Bookham (Britain):
http://www.theeventchronicle.com/metaphysics/galactic/large-orange-fireball-and-explosion-in-bookham-mans-garden/

Quote: "Beales Road builder Darren Amis was sitting on the sofa with his family at his home on Sunday evening (March 1) at around 5.15pm when he saw a bright orange fireball hit his back garden, followed by a large bang."

Note: That sounds like a gas plume that found an ignition source in his yard and exploded and burned. Just like all the 'mysterious explosions' that have been shaking cities around the world in recent years, but on a smaller scale, this time. These are the 99th, 100th and 101st residential explosions in 2015...

2015-03-05 - 14 underground electrical explosions and fires break out in coastal Brooklyn (New York), 3 injured:

http://animalnewyork.com/2015/manhole-covers-still-exploding/

Quote: "Three firefighters were injured when a manhole cover exploded in Brooklyn on Thursday, authorities said. At least 14 explosions sent manhole covers flying across the borough. There were no injuries in 13 of them."

Note: Whew, these underground explosions and fires are really escalating now. They say snow and salt. So why were they occurring in the spring, summer and fall too? And if it's snow and salt, why isn't this happening everywhere that there's snow and salt? This has little or nothing to do with that - this escalation is because of that gigantic 5-trillion-pound explosively flammable methane clathrate deposit melting and releasing its methane off the East Coast. The snow may be helping trap methane coming up through the ground though, preventing it from dissipating into the atmosphere, helping it concentrate.

I wouldn't count on the East Coast being too terribly survivable. They put up new evacuation signs along the East Coast about 3 years ago. I don't think 'they' know exactly WHEN things will get bad enough to need those, but they do know that things WILL get bad enough to need those. Responders recently trained to deal with a 10-kiloton explosion in coastal Manhattan, mentioned in the 2014-10-22 update. Once one of those occurs, I imagine the people - those who are still alive anyway - will start self-evacuating...

Quote: "The blast was felt up to six miles away -- as far away as Farmington. It is believed that the explosion was propane-related."

Note: Could be. But what were the methane and hydrogen sulfide levels in the air and ground at the time? Oh, nobody checked. Well then, we'll never know for sure what happened here...

2015-03-06 - Bonfire explodes after 11 PM at home, man ignites, in Lowndes County (Georgia), at least 1 injured:
http://www.valdostadailytimes.com/news/local_news/explosion-in-lowndes-injuries-reported/article_bba9325e-c496-11e4-afa1-13e977449918.html

Quote: "Details were sketchy late Friday, but Nelson Hill residents said they heard an explosion; one man said he saw a fireball and a 'man completely on fire.' Another man said the blast took place during a bonfire. People were seen being loaded into at least two ambulances; one victim was flown off in a life flight helicopter that landed near the subdivision's model home."

Note: A bonfire just exploded and injured 14 people in Rajasthan (India) too, mentioned in the 2015-03-05 update. If a cloud of hydrogen sulfide and/or methane blows over a bonfire...boom! That'll be likely to ignite people nearby too, if the explosion doesn't just blow them to pieces. Seems pretty dangerous to be having bonfires these days, but I guess people will figure that out eventually, once enough people have been roasted by fires or blown apart by explosions...

http://thewave.ca/news/607241560/dozens-evacuated-and-displaced-after-natural-gas-leak-explosion-and-fire-overnight

Note: No way to tell if a gas leak caused the explosion or if the explosion caused the gas leak, unless they eliminate hydrogen sulfide and methane as factors by testing the air and soil at the time of the explosion, which they didn't do. So, another home exploding and we'll never know the cause for sure. What we WILL see though are more homes and businesses and vehicles exploding and burning, and that's already happening. This is the 104th residential explosion in 2015...

Quote: "A fire so massive that it could not be approached by firefighters erupted after an explosion at an oil waste disposal site north of Alexander, North Dakota."

Quote: "Residents in Killdeer reported shaking in their homes after several oil tanks exploded and caught fire this morning. Dunn County's emergency manager says the incident involved 3 oil tanks on a well site owned by Marathon, north of Killdeer. No one was injured and the cause of the explosion is unknown at this time."

Note: Lots of pallet businesses have been destroyed by explosions and/or fires. In fact, see the three tractor trailers and pallet company that were destroyed by fire near Zeeland (Michigan), mentioned in this update. This pallet explosion was blamed on natural gas but since they didn't bother to check the methane and hydrogen sulfide levels in the ground and air at the time, nobody will ever know for sure what caused this explosion and fire. Also see the medical helicopter that crashed and burned and killed the pilot in St. Louis on this day. St. Louis is still doing better than Portland though. Maybe that can be our motto here: 'Come to St. Louis - hey, we're not as bad as Portland!' I'm guessing the St. Louis and Portland tourism boards aren't going to be hiring me...

Quote: "Another manhole went up in flames Sunday afternoon on 42nd Street near 2nd Avenue."

Note: Just imagine if all of these fires and explosions actually WERE caused by snow and salt -- man, there'd be manholes fires and explosions all over the place! So obviously that's not the reason, since NYC is by no means the only area that's gotten snow this winter, and yet NYC is getting hammered with these underground explosions and fires. Either they're retarded for thinking snow and salt are the reason for this, or they KNOW that's not the reason but they hope YOU are dumb enough to believe that it is. One of those two things is true. Which one, who knows, but I suspect it's the latter...

Quote: "An exploding vacuum cleaner ignited a fire that destroyed a log cabin on Old Mill Road on Sunday despite the efforts of firefighters from six towns. No injuries were reported, but the house is a total loss, officials said."

Note: I knew fans and HVAC systems and ventilation systems were a threat now, because they contain electrified copper and they're involved in moving the atmosphere around. I hadn't considered vacuum cleaners, but they also contain electrified copper - at least if they're plugged in or have a battery - and they also move the atmosphere around, so now, having seen this, it does make sense that they would explode and/or burn here and there...

Quote: "Firefighters spent 90 minutes battling a blaze that burned $6 million in RVs at a luxury dealership in Sanford. The fire broke out early Monday along Orange Boulevard near Interstate 4 at a lot that houses RVs with Florida Luxury Coach and Excalibur Coach. Six RVs were burned in the fire, which was reported around 4:30 a.m. by a passerby who spotted flames and smoke coming from the business."

Note: Dayum, they must've been some really nice RVs, with an average of a million bucks each! Does a 'Please Rob Me' sticker come with each one or do you have to pay extra for that?! Some of the stories call them buses, and they ARE built on bus frames, so a case could be made for that. If they were used by bands as tour buses then I'd categorize them as buses too, but I have no idea what they were intended for, so I'm categorizing them as RVs. These are the 67th, 68th, 69th, 70th, 71st and 72nd RVs to burn in 2015...

http://www.kcci.com/news/worker-suffers-burns-in-plant-explosion/31716834

Note: Yikes, not lookin' good. Electricity, we are really going to miss you! An EMP or a solar flare is not necessary to take down the grid. The escalating atmospheric contamination problem will do that just fine. True, it will take longer, but the downside is that it will eventually take down the grid across the entire planet, not just in one region (as with an EMP) or across half the planet (as with a solar flare). So, though slower, this way of destroying the grid is actually much worse than either an EMP or a solar flare. Plus, the atmospheric problem also comes with many other 'features', like animals and people going insane and/or dying all over the place, massive fires and explosions wiping out stuff, a destroyed ozone layer, a destabilized climate, poisoned water, and people losing consciousness or dying while driving and causing accidents...

The (garage) went up really quick.'"

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/family-devastated-after-fire-destroys-newly-built-home-295715351.html

Quote: "A family was left distraught Monday evening after a car fire swept through their large home on Pipeline Road north of Winnipeg, destroying the two-storey house."

Quote: "Neighbours said the homeowners were an extended family who had built the house themselves and moved in last summer. 'They were just doing the detail work inside,' said the woman, a neighbour who identified herself as Geralyn."

Note: All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, whether parked or running, so park a vehicle near your home at your own risk. Lots of people have lost their homes this way, many more people will lose their homes this way, and some people have lost their lives this way too...

From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

Later that afternoon, a dumpster fire was reported on the same street. Fire crews expect no connection between the incidents. All three fires are still under investigation. But it just seemed to be 'an unlucky week,' said Mroz."

Quote: "The truck owner transferred fuel into his vehicle on Saturday when something ignited the gasoline flames, said fire investigator Les David Mroz. The fuel container caught on fire and then the truck was burning."

Note: What ignited that gas? That may have been the work of the Ghostly Match. You'll never see it coming...

2015-03-11 - Cars, semi trailer and vacant home go up in flames in coastal Townsville (Australia):
http://www.pressreader.com/australia/townsville-bulletin/20150313/281724088025661/TextView

Note: Arson suspected, but just a suspicion, no actual evidence of people being involved in any of these fires. If I didn't know what was going on, I'd suspect arson too. And who knows, maybe some of these fires ARE arson, but it'd be dumb to assume that's the case considering all the vehicles and vacant homes going up in flames nowadays that definitely do not have a human cause, and especially considering the fact that this city is right on the coast...

http://www.herefordtimes.com/news/11847111.Crews_attend_three_car_fires/
http://www.westmidlandsnews.org.uk/news/crews-attend-three-car-fires

Quote: "Fire crews from Ross-on-Wye and Whitchurch were called at 5.15pm to Goodrich to a small fire under a dashboard in a car. Then at 9.15pm a crew from Leominster attended a fire in a small saloon car in Dishley Street, near Aldi in Leominster. Police attended to control traffic. Shortly afterwards at 9.30pm a saloon car in Ambleside, Ewyas Harold was severely damaged by fire."

Note: So three cars ignited in less than 4.5 hours in the same geographic area. That's not coincidence. It'll be more obvious when it's 50 vehicles going up in flames 'separately', of course, but things are already pretty obvious right now...

http://abc27.com/2015/03/12/small-explosion-investigated-near-fm-college/

Quote: "A fire marshal is investigating the cause, he said, but gas meters and explosive meters have all come back negative. 'There’s nothing really disturbed, so whatever exploded must have been up in the air,' Oatman said. 'But something definitely happened.' Five workers for a contractor were in the area and two were hit by stone and debris, but no one was hurt. 'One of the workers said he was knocked forward, but he didn’t fall down' from the blast, Oatman said. 'He was about 20 feet away.' A backhoe’s windshield was cracked by the explosion, although Oatman said it wasn’t clear if the break was caused by the concussion or flying debris."

Quote: "Charles Scharnberger, professor emeritus of earth sciences at Millersville, agreed. 'In my experience, the only time you get frost quakes is when it's very cold and the ground is frozen,' he said. 'Obviously, that's not the case today. I've never heard of a frost quake when it's 50 degrees out.'"

Note: Frost quake my ass. That was a gas plume exploding after finding an ignition source. Those guys are lucky they're still alive...

A witness, Ms Assenath Gatwiri, told the Nation that the rear wheels of the lorry caught fire before it rolled over and landed in a ditch."

Note: I bet his brakes ignited and then the burning brakes ignited the tires. From the full hypothesis: "Massive vehicles such as big RVs, buses, tanker trucks, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and car-haulers will be destroyed by fire in escalating numbers after tires or brakes ignite."

http://www.whitecountynews.net/view/full_story_free/26518829/article-Car-fire-that-killed-woman-ruled-accidental

Quote: "Allen said for an unknown reason Betty Jean Fortner, 46, of Cleveland was carrying gasoline inside the vehicle, and fumes from the gas had built up inside the car. 'Investigators discovered that there were several non-approved gasoline cans inside of the vehicle,' said Allen. 'Those cans obviously leaked vapors.' Allen said investigators believe some sort of spark or electrical arc ignited the vapors, although he said they could not determine the exact origin of the spark."

Note: The unknown spark sounds like the work of the Ghostly Match acting as the igniter. ANYTIME you're around flammable vapors, of any kind, for any reason, spontaneous ignition is now a possibility. That means you can easily burn to death when you go to gas up a vehicle. That's already happened a number of times, and that's not even including all the fuel tanker trucks exploding and burning as they load or unload fuel, or people igniting as they siphon gas, or homes exploding as people apply flooring chemicals...

Quote: "Another fire was reported Monday morning at the Florida Luxury Coach on Orange Boulevard in Sanford. More than 20 first responders responded to the flames and six RVs were torched. 'We don't know anything about the two being connected,' Gregory said. 'While we are not ruling anything out, we do not have evidence that currently supports a connection,' Carr said. 'The investigation into the direct cause remains ongoing, but currently we do not see evidence that suggests it was intentionally set.'"

Note: Neither the six luxury RVs nor this RV were purposely set on fire, no, but that doesn't mean the events are unconnected. This guy just isn't seeing the connection. The atmospheric contamination problem causes problems with vehicles igniting, especially in the wee hours, as with both of the events mentioned. That's the connection. Also see the RV trailers that went up in flames at a marina in Maynardville (Tennessee) on this day. This is 76th RV to burn in 2015...

2015-03-14 - Tanker ship 'Sun Wing' bursts into flame near coastal Ulsan (South Korea), crew abandons ship, 3 injured:
http://www.vesseltracker.com/en/Ships/Sun-Wing-9163453.html

http://www.themeditelegraph.com/en/transport/sea-transport/2015/03/14/chemical-tanker-sun-wing-fire-off-busan-crew-evacuated-acid-leaking-JGZl9Zk5xOXVjDQtcz2bsM/index.html

Quote: "On Mar 14, 2015, at 8 a.m. the 'Sun Wing' reported a fire on board around 80 miles northeast of Busan in the Japan Sea. Korean Coast Guard ships and helicopters were dispatched to the vessel, which was found engulfed in fire. The 16 crew members, among them three Koreans and 13 Indonesians, were evacuated. Three of them were delivered to a hospital with burns, the rest was safe. The vessel which was loaded with nitric acid and sulfuric acid was listing to port side, some tanks were already breached, with sea water coming into reaction with acid."

Note: So this was another fire involving nitric acid. I've warned about this problem with previous nitric acid fires and explosions. Nitric acid is non-flammable itself, but it is explosively flammable if any nitric acid comes into contact with gaseous hydrogen sulfide. So if a nitric acid container should not be completely sealed and some hydrogen sulfide blows by then there is apt to be a fire and/or explosion. A cargo ship carrying nitric acid, 'Hayang Ace', exploded while moored near Ulsan in January too, injuring 4 people, mentioned in the 2015-01-11 update, so this makes two big ships carrying nitric acid devastated by fires/explosions in just over two months. In February, a chemical plant was hit by a massive nitric acid explosion which spewed a huge toxic cloud over Igualada, Barcelona (Spain), mentioned in the 2015-02-12 update. There will be more such events...
