Event Update For 2015-08-16





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.

Note: Atmospheric contamination problem, planes fly through the atmosphere, more planes crashing - that's about as simple as it gets. It's definitely getting more dangerous to fly, but things are gonna get a whole lot worse before they get better. Actually, things will never get better, not on any timescale that means anything to human beings anyway. That said, you're still safer on big jumbo jets than on any kind of propeller-driven plane, even a big one, or helicopter. Even so, your odds of dying while flying are going to be going up as time goes on, regardless of the type of aircraft...

Once those start hitting cities, entire cities or at least large sections of cities will be going up in flames...

    That the woman that died at the festival and the other one on Lehigh River are both here in S.E. PA is vaguely worrying.

    Hah - nothing to worry about! i'll be on a plane OUTTA HERE on Fri. !
