Event Update For 2017-05-05

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.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3491997/couple-sex-car-die-carbon-monoxide-poisoning/

Quote: "Investigators suspect the pair were overcome by carbon monoxide poisoning as exhaust fumes built up inside the vehicle."

Note: The car was out on a street, not in an enclosed area where carbon monoxide could accumulate. Unless there was something seriously wrong with their car then there's no way they were gassed by carbon monoxide. More likely they were gassed by a heavier-than-air gas that blew along the ground and hit their car, like hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean in that coastal city, which would create two corpses with no injuries and would LOOK like carbon monoxide poisoning...
