Event Update For 2015-04-08

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.

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/body-israeli-girl-found-thai-boat-catches-fire-30172058

Quote: "A search team on Thursday found the body of a 12-year-old Israeli girl, the only fatality from a tourist boat that caught fire in the Andaman Sea off the country's southwest, Thai officials said."

Quote: "The fire burned the ferry to the waterline, after which it sank."

Note: A twelve-year-old Israeli girl on her Bat Mitzvah trip was the fatality. Also see the woman who dropped dead in a hotel in coastal Phuket. Here are the other ferry ship fires in 2015 so far, with the date being the event update in which that event was listed:

2015-03-28 - Ferry ship 'Leonora Christina' hit by fire en route to coastal Rønne (Norway)

2015-03-23 - Ferry boat 'Highspeed 5' bursts into flame in coastal Drapetsona (Greece), 1 killed

2015-03-22 - Ferry ship bursts into flame while docked in coastal Butterworth (Malaysia)

2015-03-17 - Ferry boat 'Korsfjord' hit by fire, truck ignites on car deck, near coastal Rørvik (Norway)

2015-03-08 - Ferry ship 'Silja Symphony' hit by truck fire on the car deck, in coastal Helsinki (Finland)

2015-02-10 - Ferry ship 'Vacancier' bursts into flame near coastal Souris (Canada)

2015-01-28 - Ferry ship 'Ullensvang' bursts into flame near coastal Hareid (Norway)

Note: So March was pretty bad in terms of ferry ship fires, with five. 'Only' one in February and one in January. There was one in late December 2014 too, which killed over a dozen people near Greece, mentioned in the 2014-12-28 update. Ships are just another kind of vehicle, and all vehicles are going up in flames, so it'd be odd if ships weren't burning too, but they are...

Note: These are the 301st and 302nd boats or ships to burn in 2015...
 

2015-04-08 - Garage explodes and burns at duplex, fire spreads to duplex, in Springfield (Oregon):
http://registerguard.com/rg/news/local/32957960-75/duplex-fire-in-springfield-starts-in-garage-all-occupants-got-out-safely.html.csp

Quote: "Jerry Huffman was sitting on his front porch in Springfield this afternoon when he heard an explosion across the street. A resident of his Forsythia Street home since 1980, he ran across to see what had happened at the blue duplex nearby. A retired firefighter, Huffman grabbed his fire extinguisher. As he reached his neighbors’ residence, he said, flames came pouring out of the attached garage. 'When I went over there, the top of the garage door was bent down, and the flames were coming out,' Huffman said. 'I grabbed the water hose and my fire extinguisher. But then the second explosion went off. It blew me clear out to the sidewalk. So then I hit it with my fire extinguisher and almost knocked it down. But then it came back. And after the (garage) door was gone, there was no hope.'"

Note: This guy is kinda awesome, jumped into action after the first explosion, got knocked back by a second explosion, kept on going. I wanna live next to a retired firefighter like him! (I live next to two lawyers - yeah, sue the pants off that explosion!) This is the 148th residential explosion in 2015...
