Quote: "Montreal police say a mechanical issue appears to be the reason behind a fatal fire late Tuesday night. Firefighters were called to Vanden-Abeele Street, in Saint-Laurent's industrial park, around 11:15 p.m. to put out a major fire. Once the flames were out, they looked inside the burnt-out vehicle and discovered a body, said Const. Raphaël Bergeron. Police say they do not suspect foul play in the incident. The vehicle, which police identified as a Polaris Slingshot three-wheel motorcycle, was so badly burned it is practically unrecognizable. All that's left is a pile of metal and tires. The investigation was handed over to Montreal police investigators, who determined the cause looks to be a mechanical breakdown."

http://www.safety4sea.com/iumi-calls-for-improved-firefighting-systems-onboard-boxships/
http://shippingwatch.com/secure/Services/article9883361.ece

Quote: "The International Union of Marine Insurance has called for better fire-fighting systems on board container ships, citing its concern that current provisions are insufficient given the growing size of container vessels and a recent spate of fires on board ships."

Quote: "In February this year, the IUMI called for action on ferry and roro [roll-on roll-off] fires."

Note: Heh, they're always late to the game in terms of recognizing the evolving patterns, reactive not proactive. I wonder how many billions of dollars they've lost since I said what was going to be happening. The same thing happened with the recycling fires and the businesses insuring those facilities. I said what was going to happen - more and bigger recycling fires - and that's exactly what happened, then almost all of the big international insurers bowed out of the market after sustaining huge losses...

2017-09-21 - Man, 70, bursts into flame near bridge, dies shortly later, in coastal London (Britain):

http://www.thesun.ie/news/1563646/tragic-irish-oap-mysteriously-went-up-in-flames-just-yards-from-home-and-was-left-with-scorch-marks-on-his-internal-organs-before-dying/
http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/irish-pensioner-tragically-dies-in-london-after-mysteriously-going-up-in-flames-36154310.html
http://www.thejournal.ie/london-death-burn-irish-man-3608201-Sep2017/

Quote: "A tragic Irish OAP who mysteriously went up in flames while out walking just yards from home was left with scorch marks on his internal organs. John Nolan, 70, suffered catastrophic third-degree burns to 65 per cent of his body and was airlifted to hospital following the unexplained incident near his flat in north London on Sunday afternoon."

Quote: "He got to some place near the bridge and we genuinely don’t know what happened, none of us do, but he went on fire and suffered third-degree burns to 65 per cent of his body."

Quote: "How does a man go on fire on the street?"

Note: Odorless methane adsorbs onto hair and clothing, then static electricity ignites it, and then you go up in flames. There will be no warning when that happens - you won't even know your clothes and/or hair have been contaminated until it's too late. One second you're fine, the next second you're on fire and burning to death. That's most likely to happen in coastal areas, like London, where this man burned. This event is very similar to numerous other incidents where people have mysteriously burst into flame in recent years, not coincidentally at the same time as methane levels in the atmosphere have been rising. More flammable gas blowing around in the atmosphere, more 'mysterious' fires, simple as that...

Quote: "Smoke filled the cabin of an Allegiant Air jet after it landed at a California airport on Monday, forcing coughing passengers to cover their faces with shirts and firefighters to board the plane, authorities said.

As the plane was taxiing in Fresno, it came to an abrupt stop and smoke started to fill the cabin from the front of the aircraft, said passenger Estevan Moreno, 34, a Fresno police officer."
