Event Update For 2015-07-02

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.

Quote: "Despite initial reports that train cars derailed, there was no derailment and the fire only involved one car, Blount County Sheriff's spokeswoman Marian O'Briant said. Authorities ordered a 2-mile evacuation, and hazmat crews responded to the scene, O'Briant said."

Quote: "From what I understand the chemical that has been released, one of the by products of combustion, being on fire, is it released cyanide..."

Note: Not a derailment, just a chemical tanker car bursting into flame. Apparently it was hauling a nasty chemical in that car which, if burned, produces cyanide gas, thus the cyanide kits issued, in case people in the area started collapsing and dying from cyanide poisoning. That's also why so many people were evacuated. Luckily, as we were just assured a few days ago, when two different trains caught fire, mentioned in the 2015-06-22 update, train fires are extremely rare *cough cough*...
