http://www.wcti12.com/news/one-service-member-is-dead-after-a-hard-landing-aboard-camp-lejeune/35076914

Quote: "The military defines a hard landing as 'when an aircraft impacts the ground with a greater vertical speed and force than a normal landing, typically after a rapid or steep descent.'"

Note: By that definition, military aircraft can't EVER crash, they can only have 'hard landings'. When they're carting a corpse out of the aircraft, I call it a crash, so we'll just have to agree to disagree...

2015-09-03 - Man films fierce lightning storm over Phoenix (Arizona):
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2015/09/03/torrential-monsoon-thunderstorms-converge-over-phoenix-in-striking-timelapse/

Note: I mentioned some science news a while back, in the 2015-06-29 update, noting that scientists have discovered that hydrogen sulfide is the best superconductor ever found, and superconducts at -70 Celsius under very high pressure. So it is no stretch to conclude that as more hydrogen sulfide blows around in the atmosphere, that is affecting electrical conductivity, and that may be resulting in increasingly violent and deadly lightning strikes. I'm not saying that hydrogen sulfide will turn the atmosphere into a superconductor; I'm just saying that it will affect the conductivity of the atmosphere (and possibly the ground), at least sometimes, and that will exacerbate electricity-related problems, including lightning strikes...

2015-09-03 - Heartbreaking photos show how we're destroying the Pacific Ocean:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/photos-pacific-ocean-plastic_55e8646de4b0aec9f3564560

Note: Lots of trash, and the warm water 'blob' is baking the ocean along entire West Coast too. In other words, the Pacific Ocean is turning more landfill-like. What do landfills emit? Hydrogen sulfide and methane. Both gases will kill fish, and hydrogen sulfide will leak into the atmosphere and kill life on land too. And both cause fires. How's life doing along the West Coast? Oh, everything is dying: whales, birds, sea lions, deepwater oarfish, starfish, salmon, etc. Where are the states with all the big fires? On the West Coast...

2015-09-03 - Vast amounts of ice melting in Greenland and Antarctica, 5 trillion tons lost so far since 1992:
http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2015/09/03/ice_loss_greenland_and_antarctica_lost_5_trillion_tons_since_1992.html

Note: And that mass goes into the oceans, where the Earth's crust is thinnest, and then MISA Theory kicks in. And then we start seeing rising volcanism, especially in the oceans, and sometimes that volcanism creates new islands, as has happened numerous times in the last two or three years. And all that subsurface volcanism and heat is a big boost to the ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea that produce hydrogen sulfide, so life in the oceans starts dying. All of this is precisely what we've been seeing happening all around the planet in the last five years or so...

Quote: "Dozens of drums of used motor oil exploded in a large fire Wednesday at a solvent recycling company, spewing fireballs and blackening the sky south of downtown Phoenix for more than an hour. Some planes taking off from the city's airport had to fly around the mushrooming black plume."

Note: Sort of a combo recycling fire and chemical plant fire. From the full hypothesis: "Likewise, chemical plants of all types will burn and/or explode, including biofuels plants, fertilizer plants, specialty chemical plants, petroleum-related facilities and more."

Quote: "Materials accepted at the site include construction debris containing wood, sheet rock, plaster, plastered item, wood crates, pallets, asphalt roof shingles and flooring materials."

Quote: "Officials said a nearby town beach would be closed Thursday. Crews believe the runoff was being contained, but said the Department of Environmental Services will investigate further."

Note: 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."

2015-09-12 - New methane seep discovered on the ocean floor near San Diego (California):
http://phys.org/news/2015-09-visual-methane-seep.html
http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Rare-Methane-Seep-Found-on-Ocean-Floor--327157951.html
http://www.sott.net/article/301663-Newly-discovered-methane-seep-off-the-California-coast
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/maec.12243/abstract

Quote: "Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have released details of a deep-sea site roughly 48 kilometers (30 miles) west of Del Mar (just north of San Diego, Calif.) where methane is seeping out of the seafloor, the first such finding in the region."

Note: I'm sure there are many more methane seeps too, still undiscovered, and yet more methane seeps will be forming as that warm water 'blob' off the West Coast destabilizes methane clathrates all along the North American coast. And once that methane reaches the air, where's it going to go? Winds tend to blow west-to-east because of the rotation of the Earth, so the methane will blow onto California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and western Canada, and nobody will smell it because methane is odorless. Then some of it will adsorb onto matter. Then when fires break out, they will burn harder, faster and hotter than normal. Say, which states are going up in flames right now? Alaska, California, Oregon and Washington...

Quote: "A powerful magnitude-8.3 earthquake hit off Chile's northern coast Wednesday night, causing buildings to sway in the capital of Santiago and prompting authorities to issue a tsunami warning for the Andean nation's entire coast. Officials reported one death in a town north of the capital and heavy waves and some flooding in a handful of coastal cities. The tremor was so strong that people on the other side of the continent, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, reported feeling it."

Note: This rise in big quakes and volcanism was predicted by MISA Theory back in 2010, a few months prior to the big Japan quake. MISA Theory leads to JJFH - via oceanic volcanism - which leads to the end of human civilization, at least on the surface of the Earth. We're running out of time, assuming anyone wants to work toward the survival of the human race. Of course, nobody ever said that the survival of the human race is mandatory...

2015-09-17 - Landfill fire could hit radioactive Manhattan Project waste in as little as 3 months in Bridgeton (Missouri):
http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2015/9/18/missouri-st-louis-landfill-fire-could-reach-radioactive-waste-in-months.html

Quote: "A fire smoldering underneath a landfill north of St. Louis since 2010 could reach radioactive waste from the Manhattan Project in as little as three months, according to a report released by Missouri’s attorney general."

Note: So in less than 100 days we could have a mini-Fukushima spewing radioactive smoke right in the center of the US. They might want to address this problem BEFORE the fire gets to the radioactive waste because working conditions will obviously be waaaay worse if the fire reaches that nuclear waste...

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/driver-stunned-after-car-starts-6465742

Quote: "'She had watched the car engine start up and the car lurched forward and banged into the wall of the building in front. She asked me if the car was possessed. I’d left it in first gear but it managed to go five metres and would have kept going if it didn’t hit the wall. I came running out and I ran to get a fire extinguisher. By this time the car was smoking and trying to start itself again, right in front of my eyes.'"

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, so as our atmosphere is increasingly contaminated, 'electrical' problems are on the rise. The most notable incident so far involving a vehicle starting itself was when an unoccupied boat burst into flame in the middle of the night, started itself, then tore across the harbor while burning, hitting other boats, in coastal Coffs Harbour (Australia), mentioned in the 2013-05-03 update...

Quote: "Scientists in Siberia are preparing for the formation of a massive new crater, which will be even bigger than an existing one. The researchers believe the sinkhole will be caused by a blast in the permafrost, though they are keeping its location under wraps."

Quote: "'We are keeping the coordinates of its location a secret so that this will not lead to a pilgrimage of the scientists and quasi-scientists, as it can explode at anytime,' said Olenchenko."

2015-09-23 - Mysterious explosion shakes homes on coastal Chincoteague Island (Virginia):
http://www.wboc.com/story/30105615/loud-boom-heard-in-parts-of-delmarva-still-a-mystery

Quote: "WBOC reached out to the Naval Air Station Patuxent River to try and find out if what people heard was, in fact, a sonic boom. However, officials said there were no flights in the area at the time. NASA Wallops Flight Facility officials said they are also trying to figure out what caused the noise near Chincoteague."

Note: Here's a Google Maps link of the area. Say, right off the East Coast there, there's 5 trillion pounds of explosive methane dissociating. That's probably just a coincidence. Hah, not really!

2015-09-23 - Transformer bursts into flame at intersection in coastal Bridgeport (Connecticut):
http://www.doingitlocal.com/2015/09/bridgeport-news-power-outage-transformer-fire/

Note: Another mysterious explosion on a coastline and another pile of electrical fires. The coastal explosion sounds quite similar to the explosion that shook homes on the Outer Banks in North Carolina after which a huge number of fish washed ashore dead. That was probably a methane and/or hydrogen sulfide bubble from the sea floor that breached the surface and then exploded and killed those fish, or they died from suffocation as the gas rose to the surface, or some of both. That event occurred this past March and was mentioned in the 2015-03-18 update...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/cathay-pacific-flight-makes-emergency-landing-after-passengers-fear-wing-was-on-fire-10516224.html

Quote: "Joel Sirna, a passenger on the flight, said he and others were woken up by a loud noise and then shuddering off the Bali coast. 'Mid-flight, we heard a loud bang and the plane started to shake,' he told Perth Radio 6PR from Denpasar. 'All the lights went out and I looked to the window and have just seen some flames and some sparks - the wing and the motor were on fire.'"

Note: The airline, of course, says that there was no fire. Obviously they have something to gain by saying that, so I tend to trust the accounts of the eyewitnesses who were there more than I do some corporate spokesperson with an agenda who wasn't there...

http://robinwestenra.blogspot.co.nz/2015/09/sinkhole-in-queensland.html

Quote: "A camper at a popular Queensland beach has described the terrifying speed with which a sinkhole swallowed a car, caravan and camping trailer. The 150-by-50 metre sinkhole opened up at the Inskip Point camping area near Rainbow Beach about 11pm on Saturday. Authorities say the hole is now three metres deep and takes in a large part of the MV Beagle camp site."

Quote: "One camper, Melanie Wotherspoon, described the experience in a Facebook post. 'Yep, can’t believe we made it out,' she wrote. 'I thought we were goners for sure, was truly scary how fast it came into our campsite and swallowed it up.'"

Quote: "Holiday-maker Casey Hughes told ABC the sinkhole 'sounded like a thunder noise' as it opened up."

Note: A large chunk of land slid into the ocean in 2013 at coastal Whidbey Island (Washington), mentioned in the 2013-03-27 update. Three mysterious water-spewing sinkholes have formed at a beach in coastal Exmouth (Britain), last mentioned in the 2015-08-10 update. All around the planet, methane clathrate deposits are located along coasts, as shown in these maps. In some cases, erosion has covered parts of some of these deposits with land over the ages. As those coastal methane clathrate deposits dissociate (melt), they transform from a solid (of a sort) into water and methane gas, and then the land above or nearby may subside or slough off into the ocean. Is that what happened at Whidbey Island, in Exmouth in Britain and/or here on the coast in Australia? I don't know, but events like these are certainly worth paying attention to.

Another concern as the coastal clathrates melt is that methane is an explosively flammable gas, and if enough of it bubbles out of the sea and the wind carries it onto the coast, then fires and explosions are apt to be a problem. There have already been numerous coastal infernos and explosions, some monumental, and this surely has something to do with methane and hydrogen sulfide blowing ashore.

So, things to look for and especially near coasts: extraordinary fires and explosions, land subsidence, strange odors like the foul smell that recently hit coastal Staten Island (New York), mentioned in the 2015-08-28 update, and anomalous deaths of both animals and people...

2015-09-29 - Two cars and equipment go up in flames at Parkway Industrial Estate in coastal Plymouth (Britain):

Note: All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, whether parked or being driven, so parking a vehicle near something you don't want to see on fire - like that waterfront restaurant that got destroyed there - can cause some problems. People have died when their vehicles burst into flame while parked outside their homes. The problem there is that because the fire starts outside, indoor smoke detectors don't go off sometimes until exits are already in flames, and then people get trapped and burn to death, assassinated in the middle of the night by their own vehicle. Numerous vehicles have also started themselves. What happens if your car starts itself in your garage while you're sleeping? You may breathe carbon monoxide and wake up dead. Just some stuff to be aware of in case you're one of those wanna-stay-alive kind of people...
