Event Update For 2015-05-05





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.

2015-05-05 - Boat, trailer and shed destroyed by fire at home in Hamilton Township (Canada):
http://www.northumberlandnews.com/news-story/5603938-fire-destroys-trailer-shed-and-boat-in-hamilton-township/

Quote: "A trailer, shed and boat were destroyed in a fire Tuesday night."

Note: People aboard or not, parked boats or being used, doesn't matter - they're all burning. Some of these ships burning are big expensive commercial ships too, not just rinky-dink $250,000 yachts and whatnot, though those are certainly burning too. Eventually every ship (or other kind of vehicle) that uses electricity (e.g. a battery and electrified copper) or which is made of steel will burn and/or explode. These are the 385th, 386th, 387th, 388th, 390th, 391st and 392nd boats or ships to burn/explode in 2015...
 



2015-05-05 - Man injured by explosion while walking along railroad tracks in Paterson (New Jersey):
http://www.northjersey.com/news/parsippany-man-loses-several-fingers-in-drug-related-explosion-in-paterson-1.1325598

Quote: "The explosion seemed to stem from nitrous oxide cartridges, also known as 'whip-its,' officials said. 'There is no reason for the public to be alarmed,' said Paterson Police Director Jerry Speziale. 'There's no indication this was an act of terrorism or any kind of threat to community.'"

Note: Heh, I tried whip-its a time or five in my youth. They should do their homework when they're making up stories to sell the public - nitrous oxide isn't flammable or explosive. At all. Derp. Think how dangerous it would be if it WERE flammable - dentists with their electrical drills and friction-induced heat would be frying peoples' faces off left and right. Nitrous oxide does help OTHER gases combust better though, which is how it's used in car racing, so there had to be something else in the atmosphere here that WAS explosive...

    Fracking Made Pennsylvania Water Foam
    http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2015/05/05/fracking-made-pennsylvania-water-foam.html

    White foam found in some northeastern Pennsylvania water wells from 2010 to 2012 was likely a byproduct of nearby fracking, according to a new study published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal. Scientists identified a variety of organic compounds present in the water at low levels, and found that they were the same or similar to compounds used in hyrdraulic fracturing. (None of the compounds, other than natural gas, were found to be at unsafe levels.) An inability to get samples directly from the fracking site—because the industry has refused to disclose the chemical mixes they use—has made the cause of the foaming impossible to prove conclusively, but scientists say a variety of factors make fracking “the most probable source.”

    Looking back at my bus-riding days, I can see how a person could slip into the baggage compartment. I just didn't know people did that. Maybe they shouldn't!
