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...

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...

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...

Note: One block east of the Kanawha River. Here's a Google Maps link of the area. And some of the affected area may be without power for a week. This can happen anywhere now, at any time, so you might want to have a contingency plan, just in case - solar chargers, lights, whatever you think you might need if you're left in the dark for a week or a month.

Quote: "The coroner in Anderson County says a man is dead after an explosion and fire involving a car he was sitting in. Multiple media outlets report emergency crews were called just south of Iva early Sunday morning. According to investigators, a woman said she was awakened by an explosion, but didn't immediately get up. When she heard a second blast, she went outside and heard a car horn blowing. Coroner Greg Shore said the woman walked toward the noise and found her son's car on fire with him inside. The woman said she heard the man screaming but couldn't save him. Shore identified the man as 39-year-old Scottie K. Smith."
Quote: "The mother told Shore she heard Smith screaming inside the burning vehicle, but the doors were locked and she was unable to break a window on the car."
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. So some of these fires disable the electrical system of vehicles. That means power locks and power windows may stop working, leaving you trapped inside, screaming as you burn to death, which sounds like what happened here. He couldn't open the door and escape, and his mother couldn't break the windows fast enough. That's why I've mentioned that it's probably wise now to keep something handy with which to break windows and cut seatbelts, in case this same thing happens to you. You may have only seconds to act...

Quote: "Donald said he asked the burn victim what happened and the man said he was driving along when flames overtook his vehicle. Donald said the man's severe burns prevented him from providing more information."
Quote: "The man injured in this incident has been identified as Laddie J. McMasters, 79. He has passed away at the University of Utah Health Care Burn Center."
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: All of the above vehicles burst into flame while parked. Some of the other vehicles that burned on this day were probably parked too, but the stories didn't specify. And like I've said, since more vehicles are igniting generally, and since many vehicles spend most of their time parked, more parked vehicles are going up in flames. Some of these parked vehicle fires have killed people, when they ignite in the middle of the night in a garage or right outside a house and the fire spreads to the house. It's increasingly unwise to park a vehicle near anything you don't want to see on fire...

http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/three-children-burned-in-oven-explosion-in-glebe-20150514-gh1fa6.html
Quote: "He said investigators are working to identify the cause of the explosion. 'It did look like some sort of gas explosion, [but there is] no sign of gas and it's actually an electric cooker,' he said."
Quote: "Dean Broadwood from Fire and Rescue NSW said the explosion occurred in the kitchen and caused a flash fire from the stove top."
Quote: "Superintendent Tom Cooper told Fairfax Mediafirefighters reported that a woman was cooking on the stove when 'something exploded' and a flash fire broke out, burning the children."
Note: An electric stove will still ignite methane in the air, and methane is odorless, so nobody will smell it. 'Flash fires' are when flammable gas in the air burns. Electric stove so this wasn't propane or natural gas. What WERE the methane levels in the air when this occurred? Oh, nobody checked. So what burned these kids? We'll never know for sure, but it was probably methane...
2015-05-13 - Home devastated by massive explosion in Annandale (India), 4 injured:

http://www.oneindia.com/india/des62hpexplosion-1746300.html
Quote: "The explosion, suspected to be caused by leakage of LPG cylinder from the ground floor of the house where a tenant lives, blew off the wall and window of the flat along with upper storey of the house while adjoining houses developed cracks with windowpanes crumbling and breaking into pieces."
Note: Not a terrible theory. So how many people reported a rotten egg odor from the odorant that they add to LPG? Nobody. And what were the methane levels in the air? Nobody checked. Well then, nobody will ever know what caused this explosion. It could easily have been the same thing in the air in this explosion that caused the explosion that burned those three children at that home in Sydney. These are the 195th and 196th residential explosions in 2015...

http://barrie.ctvnews.ca/crews-find-body-while-extinguishing-vehicle-fire-in-caledon-1.2372557
Quote: "Initial reports suggest the man, who has not been identified, was trapped when the vehicle caught fire on Dixie Road just north of King Street. The car was reportedly completely engulfed in flames and he was likely already dead by the time emergency services reached him."
Note: His electrical system was probably fried so he couldn't open the windows or doors. I've warned about that problem a great many times. It seems wise to keep something handy with which to break windows and cut seatbelts in case the same thing happens to you, else you could end up a charred corpse in a burning car too...
