Event Update For 2015-05-18

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.

2015-05-18 - Underground electrical fire erupts in Batley (Britain):
http://www.batleynews.co.uk/news/local/firefighters-attend-suspected-electrical-fire-1-7267305
http://www.newsrt.co.uk/news/firefighters-attend-suspected-electrical-fire-3218510.html

Quote: "Crews from Batley were called to Cambridge Road at 7.30pm last night to reports of an underground fire. A West Yorkshire Fire Service spokesperson said that a grass verge at the scene was smoking and residents had reported power cuts and said they had heard crackling sounds."

2015-05-18 - Underground carpark hit by electrical fire at hotel in Bexleyheath area in coastal London (Britain):

http://www.bexleytimes.co.uk/news/dozens_evacuated_after_hotel_car_park_fire_1_4078821

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel and copper, especially electrified copper. It's also a heavier-than-air gas, so it tends to seek out low-lying areas, like underground facilities and areas, so the last couple of years has seen a rise in underground fires and explosions, and that's going to get much worse. Vehicles also contain rust and electrified copper, so vehicles are also spontaneously igniting all over the place, sometimes killing people...

2015-05-18 - Metal recycling center hit by deadly fire in Anderson (South Carolina), 1 killed, 1 injured:

http://www.wlos.com//news/features/top-stories/stories/worker-killed-another-injured-scrap-metal-fire-21115.shtml
http://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/local/2015/05/19/dead-injured-fire-anderson-metal-recycling-plant/27581467/

Quote: "Chief Randy Bratcher with the Anderson Fire Department said a worker got trapped amid the burning scrap metal. Shore confirmed one man was pronounced dead at the scene and a second man with injuries was taken to AnMed hospital via ambulance Firefighters said crushed cars and various metal was on fire and creating a large plume of smoke that was visible for miles when they arrived. They believe the fire broke out around 9:45 a.m."

2015-05-18 - Landfills now regularly burning in coastal Mumbai (India):
http://scroll.in/article/728135/why-are-fires-breaking-out-in-mumbais-garbage-dumping-grounds

Quote: "Mumbai’s garbage dumping grounds frequently make headlines for unpleasant reasons. For the past two and a half months, the reason has been fire. Since the end of February, at least four separate blazes have been reported from the massive dumping grounds in the eastern suburbs, posing health risks for already irate residents."

Note: They'll stop burning once everything that can burn has burned. Numerous ships have burned in or near Mumbai in the last two years, including one aircraft carrier, and one submarine exploded and burned and killed everyone aboard while docked in Mumbai 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."

Quote: "'We don’t think that the clothing that this person was wearing would be enough to set him on fire,' said LAPD Capt. George Rodriguez."

Note: That depends on what flammable gases have contaminated the clothes. A homeless man covered in 'unknown chemicals' entered a hospital in coastal Dunedin (Florida) in 2012 and attendants there immediately started sickening, so they evacuated, mentioned in the 2012-06-19 update. If it's hydrogen sulfide (as was probably the case with that homeless man) then there may be an odor. You won't smell methane if it contaminates your clothing or car upholstery or whatnot though, because it's odorless. Then you light a cigarette, or static electricity pops as your clothes rub, or you ignite a burner on your stove to cook dinner, and whoosh, you go up in flames and burn to death. Wee hours, on the coast, outdoors, man burns to death. Homeless people are in the greatest danger because A) they spend most of their time outdoors; and B) they tend to sleep on the ground and hydrogen sulfide (which is far more deadly and flammable than methane and burns hotter too) is a heavier-than-air gas...
