Event Update For 2015-05-06

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://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bareilly/Two-tempos-burnt-to-ashes-as-transformer-explodes/articleshow/47179432.cms

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, so as the atmospheric contamination intensifies, there are more electricity-related fires and explosions. All the parked vehicles going up in flames are burning, at least much of the time, because of that same problem. Rusty iron/steel will also cause some of those fires too, but it looks like the electrified copper in the vehicles is the greater of the two problems. No need for a solar flare or EMP to bring down the grid. The atmospheric contamination problem will take care of that just fine...

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/joggins-fire-considered-suspicious-destroys-at-least-5-buildings-1.3062933

Quote: "As many as seven structure fires were reported by sources at the scene, fought by fire departments already tired from fighting several recent grass fires in the community."

Note: Joggins is on the western side of that land body, and because of the rotation of the Earth, winds tend to blow west-to-east, which makes the western side of land masses the most likely to be hit by gasses blowing in off the ocean...

Quote: "The fire was the latest in a string reported in vacant structures in Waco."

Note: I've lost count of how many vacant homes have burned in Waco in recent months but it's more than 10. Not much they can do. They COULD arrest some random person and say they did it...but then the fires would continue. They'll be better able to hide what's happening by NOT arresting anyone and just letting people think there's an arsonist roaming around, although then they risk looking incompetent. Rock and a hard place...

A spokesman for the train operator told AFP that it could be that one of the drivers missed a stop signal."

Note: Maybe the driver who missed the stop signal was the dead driver and maybe he missed it because he was unconscious, having a 'medical event' or already dead...

http://myinforms.com/en/a/12831651-freightliner-unveils-worlds-first-self-driving-semi-truck/

Quote: "If you hanker to be a driver of a brand-new Daimler truck, there's bad news for you: the job doesn't exist anymore. The Freightliner Inspiration, the world's first self-driving semi-truck, is now undergoing testing under real road conditions in Nevada. It's not yet on sale, however. The US state has certified two Freightliner Inspiration trucks to mix with regular traffic on public roads."

Note: Good idea. Humans are the weakest link, since it takes soooo little hydrogen sulfide to disable or kill a human being. So, turn trucks into robots or drones and we might just be able to survive at least a little longer...
