Quote: "The department has revealed that preliminary tests carried out last week at two private properties at Hopeland, near Chinchilla, showed a positive result for carbon monoxide, hydrogen and hydrogen sulphide. 'The gases identified are commonly associated with combustion and are not associated with coal seam gas development,' said Jon Black, the director-general of the Department of Environment."

Quote: "The gases detected - in the Western Downs region of Queensland by the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection - included carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and hydrogen sulfide. The gases are explosive and farmers in the Hopeland area have been advised not to excavate or disturb soils greater than two metres deep without talking to the department."

Note: Carbon monoxide isn't explosive or flammable - it's the leftovers of combustion. Hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide aren't normally associated with combustion unless it's them doing the combusting. So maybe some hydrogen sulfide is rising from below, or some has blown by in the atmosphere and sunk into the ground in this area, and then ignited. That would cause readings like this. Hydrogen sulfide is associated with natural gas - that's what makes natural gas 'sour' - and natural gas is sometimes found near coal seams. The gas IN the coal seams is more or less pure methane, but if any leaks out then it can become food for the ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide. Either way, bottom line, however it happened, whatever the cause, they've got a deadly poison in the soil here...

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? AND they use salt elsewhere too?! Huh, what do you know. That means that their 'explanation' is completely retarded. 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!

Note: Here are some of the more notable crashes on this day. Harrison Ford's plane crash is like many other small plane crashes in recent times: they take off, start climbing, their engine sputters out and they crash. They're flying into pockets of the atmosphere that have lower-than-normal amounts of oxygen so the engine becomes starved for oxygen and it sputters out. The big passenger jets don't have that problem - or at least it's not nearly as bad for them - because their engines are designed specifically to be able to function in high-altitude low-oxygen environments...

2015-03-08 - Ferry ship 'Silja Symphony' hit by truck fire on the car deck, in coastal Helsinki (Finland):
http://www.vesseltracker.com/en/Ships/Silja-Symphony-8803769.html

Quote: "On Mar 8, 2015, a truck caught fire on the car deck of the 'Silja Symphony'. The ferry was in port in Helsinki when the fire occurred. The fire extinguishing system jointly with the fire fighting team of the crew and the alerted Helsinki Rescue Department were able to extinguish the fire and the flames within short time. The passengers had already left the car deck when the fire broke out."

Note: Much like the cars bursting into flame while parked on car-hauler trucks...

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...

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...

Note: I've lost track of how many times this landfill has burned in just the last year. 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."

2015-03-12 - Oceans losing oxygen and becoming increasingly hostile to oxygen-breathing life:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/03/150313-oceans-marine-life-climate-change-acidification-oxygen-fish/

Quote: "The diving patterns of Atlantic sailfish, like this one going after sardines in the Caribbean, and blue marlin helped scientists figure out that many fish are spending more time in shallower water as low-oxygen zones push closer to the surface."

Note: The dead zones aren't just spreading around coastal areas, but are rising from the depths in the deep oceans too. When the anoxic zones reach the surface, they 'exhale' methane and hydrogen sulfide that has accumulated at the bottom into the atmosphere. That's what happened when Santa Monica Bay belched up methane and hydrogen sulfide in California, mentioned in the 2013-03-03 update. That's what happened when the Inner Harbor in coastal Baltimore turned milky green-white, all the fish died and there was a smell of sulfur in the air, mentioned in the 2013-07-18 update. And so on.

This is the ancient extinction event that has once again raised its ugly head. This problem wiped out virtually all oxygen-using life 250 million years ago and it will do the same this time too. What the scientists are (still!) missing is the hydrogen sulfide aspect of the problem and all of the sub-problems that that causes: animals and people going insane and/or dying, fires and explosions devouring our civilization, etc.

We are rapidly running out of time...

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...

http://blackburnnews.com/midwestern-ontario/midwestern-ontario-news/2015/03/16/opp-investigate-truck-fire-in-centre-wellington/

Quote: "Emergency personnel made the grim discovery of a person's body while dousing a small car engulfed in flames in a rural area of the township just before noon Monday. It was made when Wellington OPP and Centre Wellington firefighters responded to report of a vehicle on fire on the 6th Line, north of Wellington County Road 18 in the township, just east of Lake Belwood."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Vehicles of all kinds will continue to burn, as they have been, and the number of vehicular fires will continue to escalate, inevitably resulting in a corresponding increase in the number of people being incinerated in their vehicles."

Note: Here are some more parked vehicles igniting and sometimes burning whatever's nearby. Vehicles are increasingly spontaneously igniting. Since the average vehicle spends a majority of its time parked, that means that there are increasing numbers of parked vehicles going up in flames. All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, whether parked or driven, so you park a vehicle near anything you care about at your own risk now...

2015-03-18 - Popping sounds heard in Walmart, and then people start having coughing fits, in Grand Blanc Township (Michigan):
http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2015/03/walmart_remains_closed_even_af.html

Quote: "The fire department received the call around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, March 18, saying a popping sound was heard near the customer service desk and then multiple people started coughing. A few more people in different areas of the store were also coughing, so store managers evacuated the building as a precaution. Servetter said fire officials still aren't sure what caused the issue, but it could have been something in the store or something that was brought into the store through the ventilation systems."

Note: Some hydrogen sulfide probably got sucked in through the HVAC system, a little found some electrified copper or rusty iron and caused a small firecracker-sized explosion, and since it's a poison and people breathed it, some people experienced respiratory distress. It's not always so mild when this happens. There was a recent HazMat event at a turkey plant in Willmar (Minnesota), where 28 people sickened and some of them experienced 'excited delirium', mentioned in the 2014-10-18 update. The 'excited delirium' - that was their brains being affected, and those people may have sustained permanent brain damage (inability to focus, forgetfulness, etc), along with damage to other organs like kidneys, hearts, livers, although the damage may not show up for a while.

Last April, the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, near the Mississippi River, was evacuated because of an unknown noxious odor that originated OUTSIDE, mentioned in the 2014-04-11 update. Same thing there - gas got sucked in via the HVAC system from the outside air. The day prior to that, in the wee hours, I was outdoors and I smelled the sickly-sweet odor of medium concentration hydrogen sulfide, about 7 miles west of the Edward Jones Dome. I immediately stopped breathing and held my breath and closed my eyes for about a minute, to give some time for the cloud to blow past. There have been many similar incidents in the last few years as the atmospheric contamination has intensified.

So, we've got deadly and flammable poison gas blowing randomly around the atmosphere. It won't always be a gigantic cloud like the clouds of hydrogen sulfide that hit Moscow, Kuwait City, and Seattle, or the medium-sized clouds that hit Rayong, Kingston (Jamaica) or Santa Monica. Sometimes it'll be small car-sized invisible clouds, just big enough to give you time for one breath before it blows on. If the cloud is just 0.1% hydrogen sulfide, that one breath will be enough to kill you, maybe immediately, but possibly with a delayed reaction of minutes, hours or up to two or three days.

Don't count on your government telling you the truth about what's happening. People might freak out, stock markets could collapse, yada yada. In fact, you should count on your government doing all it can to SUPPRESS the truth. If you want to survive what's happening then it's completely up to you to take whatever protective measures you feel worthwhile...

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...

Note: It took me a while to figure out why tires and tire businesses keep burning. The phrase 'steel-belted radial' should have been a clue. Tires have steel wires inside them, so if any of that steel is exposed to the air and rusts then again you have an ignition source (rusty steel) right next to a flammable adsorbent material (tire rubber), so tires are very much like pallets, especially if there are any WORN tires around...

Quote: "Firefighters arrive at the compound of Indian Parliament after a fire broke out at its air conditioning plant in Delhi, India, March 22, 2015. A massive fire broke out on Sunday afternoon at the Indian Parliament's huge compound."

Note: What do air conditioners do? They move the atmosphere around. They also contain electrified copper. That makes them increasingly vulnerable to fires as the atmospheric contamination intensifies. It's no coincidence that TWO buses went up in flames AND this huge fire hit the AC plant at the Parliament compound here, all on the same day. Same timeframe, same general geographic area, same atmosphere...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/germanwings-crash-one-pilot-was-locked-out-of-the-cockpit-before-crash-claim-us-reports-10134659.html

Quote: "Witnesses told the French Air Force they heard an explosion and saw smoke coming out of the doomed Germanwings' A320 passenger plane shortly before it crashed into the mountains near Digne, southern France, IBTimes UK can reveal."

Quote: "While the French authorities have not confirmed these accounts, the pilot confirms the French Air Force has received a number of corroborating witness testimonies. The pilot also confirmed that debris was found upstream from the crash site - which he said confirmed the fact that the piece of fuselage had 'been detached from the aircraft before impact'."

Note: They descended for eight minutes, at almost 5000 feet of descent per minute. One of the two pilots had left the cockpit and when he came back and knocked there was no answer. So I would bet you that the remaining pilot in the cockpit had slumped over the wheel unconscious or dead, maybe having a 'medical event', so he couldn't drive the plane or open the door. And the other pilot couldn't get back in, so HE couldn't drive the plane. And without a conscious pilot, the plane plummeted and crashed into the mountain. Pretty much like all the other incidents with cars and trucks and buses having drivers lose consciousness or die or having 'medical events', except this time it was a passenger plane.

Just for general safety, I think they should now require passenger planes to have THREE pilots, and only one of them should be allowed to be out of the cockpit at any time. Once you're down to one pilot, there's no margin for error, and if he or she slumps over unconscious or dead then that plane is probably going to crash, so there should ALWAYS be at least two pilots available IN THE COCKPIT, at all times. That wouldn't eliminate all problems, but it would be an improvement which would save at least some lives here and there...

Note: It's really pretty amazing the number of people stripping naked and going crazy in coastal communities. Nobody is safe anywhere, and some people have stripped naked and gone crazy in non-coastal places too, but mostly it's been in coastal areas. Hydrogen sulfide is neurotoxic and damages brains, which sometimes causes aberrant behavior, hallucinations, memory loss, violence. It also makes at least some people heat up, so they strip naked to cool off, even in the depths of winter. Often people so afflicted do not live long, because hydrogen sulfide doesn't JUST damage brains, but also damages other important organs, like hearts, kidneys, livers. You're most likely to zombify yourself in the wee hours and when in, near or downwind of low-lying areas like oceans, seas, lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, creeks, ditches, ravines, canyons, valleys, basements, underground parking garages, etc.

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, so more 'electrical fires' are to be expected as the atmospheric contamination proceeds. It's also a heavier-than-air has which will seek out low-lying areas, like underground electrical facilities. This same problem is also causing parked vehicles to spontaneously ignite, sometimes destroying other nearby vehicles, homes and/or businesses, and sometimes killing people...

Quote: "The fire broke out at the 65,000 square-foot warehouse that was once used as a metal manufacturing plant on the 2400-block of W. Westmoreland St. just before around 2:20 a.m."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers."

Note: 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."

2015-03-31 - More mysterious home-shaking explosions alarm people, this time in coastal Berkeley (California):
http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/03/31/the-unsolved-mystery-of-the-berkeley-boom/comment-page-1/
http://blog.sfgate.com/inberkeley/2015/03/31/the-mystery-of-the-berkeley-boom/

Note: Map in the link shows where most people are reporting the explosions and as you can see, most of the reports are primarily near the coast, not far from the Berkeley Aquatic Center. These mysterious explosions really started ramping up around the same time that the oceans began spewing methane around the world and incidents involving hydrogen sulfide and 'rotten egg' odors began escalating. That's no coincidence. A 'flash of light' knocked a helicopter out of the sky and killed both occupants in Oklahoma City (Oklahoma), mentioned in the 2013-03-13 update. That was a smaller version of these city-shaking explosions. More flammable gases blowing around in the atmosphere, more explosions and fires, it's as simple as that...

2015-03-31 - Underground electrical fire erupts on Thornton Road in Bradford (Britain), pavement spews flame, blackouts ensue:
http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/12824463.Bradford_homes_suffer_power_cut_after_electricity_cable_fault_sends_flames_leaping_from_pavement/

Note: Britain experienced a more than 200% increase in underground electrical explosions and fires, year-over-year, between 2011 and 2012, as mentioned in the 2013-06-16 update and the pace is obviously accelerating. Eventually I wouldn't be surprised to see a large-scale event involving underground explosions and fires hitting, say, London...

Note: They don't say how many tractors were destroyed but buyers expect to see tractors at a tractor dealership, so I'm sure there were some and maybe many...

2015-03-31 - Recycling business hit by outdoor fire before 5 AM near Carter Lake in Omaha (Nebraska), foul odor blows over city:

Quote: "The fire on the south side of International Paper Co., 1111 Fort St., was reported about 5 a.m. and was still smoldering hours later. Several fire crews responded to the location just north of Carter Lake and they remained on the scene dousing the bundled paper and cardboard that was awaiting recycling processing."

2015-03-31 - Smoke in the cabin sends passenger plane to emergency landing in Boise (Idaho):
http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2015/03/31/southwest-flight-phoenix-diverted-abrk/70728692/

Note: Smoke just sent another passenger plane to an emergency landing in Van Nuys (California) too, mentioned in the 2015-03-28 update. These are the 35th and 36th aircraft to smoke or burn in 2015. There'll be more planes smoking, burning and crashing as time goes on. You can see it happening already if you're paying attention. If you've got some flying to do, you might want to get it done sooner rather than later because things are only going to continue to get worse...
