Event Update For 2017-05-23

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.

2017-05-23 - Duplex damaged by explosion and fire just before 7 AM in Commerce City (Colorado), two girls injured:

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/two-sisters-burned-in-flash-fire-at-commerce-city-home

Quote: "Xcel Energy is working with the investigation to find a cause and there are signs that it was something similar to methane gas, which can occur naturally from decomposition and other outlets. Traces of the gas are limited to immediately around the property. Tests have shown there is no gas line leak. Vincel said there is no crime or malicious activity tied to the explosion, nor are nearby homes in any danger."

Quote: "Fire investigators and Xcel Energy crews are at a duplex in Commerce City after an explosion and fire sent two girls to the hospital. The girls, whose ages are 15 and 11, were rushed to Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora after the blast. Their mother and father were home when the blast happened. They were not injured. Neighbors told CBS4 the girls were seriously burned. 'I saw the girls who had skin hanging off of their arms,' Randy Martinez, a neighbor, said."

Note: Just some methane getting into a home, exploding and burning the skin off some girls, nothing weird about that! This is the 162nd residential explosion in 2017...

2017-05-23 - Hydrogen sulfide getting into the water supply in Mamou (Louisiana):
http://www.katc.com/story/35490872/water

Quote: "According to microbiologist Wilma Subra, the color is caused by iron and manganese, secondary contaminants that are considered only aesthetic nuisances and are not enforced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The smell, Subra says, is hydrogen sulfide, another substance that's not regulated as harmful. 'It's not something that will impact your health,' Subra says."

Note: Sure sure, hydrogen sulfide is just a deadly poison that the British used to kill Germans during trench warfare in WWI and which has wiped life off this planet before, and nobody knows what the effects are of breathing it or ingesting it chronically, even at low levels, so nothing to worry about. Wait...what?!

Quote: "For the past eight years in March and April, biologists with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service have flown to the ice of the Chukchi Sea to study polar bears. This spring, they saw something that had never witnessed before. 'Oh man, it was very dramatic,' said Ryan Wilson, wildlife biologist with the agency's polar bear program. 'It wasn't a subtle difference.' Wilson says in less than a week, the sea ice broke up and shifted quickly to the north. The breakup happened faster and earlier than scientists had seen before, forcing them to cut short their research trip."
