Event Update For 2018-08-29

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: "Update: Fire was or still is much more serious than we’ve been told – cargo decks were still emitting smoke in the afternoon, firefighting of a major scale still going on. All passengers of course, left ferry, no injures reported. Because of water poured into the ship, she developed portside list. Look at photos – smoke is seen both fore and aft, meaning that fire spread throughout car deck or decks."

Note: This is the third ferry ship to burn in four days. Ferry ship 'Wight Sky' was just damaged by fire on The Solent near the Isle of Wight (Britain), and ferry ship 'Alcántara Dos' just burst into flame near coastal Almeria (Spain), both events mentioned in the 2018-08-26 update. This is the 806th boat/ship to burn/explode in 2018...
