Event Update For 2017-04-20

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: "In a horrifying incident, an Andhra woman was burnt alive after the car in which she was travelling caught fire in Visakhapatnam district. The incident happened in the early hours of Thursday, reportedly at Rayavaram mandal. The woman, identified as Nagamani, was with her husband in the car at the time of the incident. The husband managed to escape, after locals reportedly gathered at the spot and pulled him to a safe distance. The locals also tried putting out the fire themselves, but to no avail."

Quote: "Reports suggest that the central locking system of the car failed after the vehicle caught fire, which led to Nagamani's death."

Note: Yesterday it was a mother watching her son burn to death in his car at apartments in Sharonville (Ohio), mentioned in the 2017-04-19 update, and today it's a man watching his wife burn to death in an SUV...
