2018-08-19 - Unquenchable underground fire burning and spewing sulfurous smell, people sickening and dying, in Anambra State (Nigeria):

http://nigerianpilot.com/7-dies-mysteriously-as-chemical-emission-erupts-in-anambra-community/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFOorbo79Po
Quote: "The lignite, which sends out gas with irritating sulphurous odour, has also led to the admission of scores of residents in different hospitals in the area."
Quote: "“Last night [Friday], after a little rain, we were unable to sleep. The most astonishing thing is that we have been recording sudden deaths in recent time. 'Within a space of two months, we have lost seven persons and we do not known the cause of their death. But if you put two and two together, you find out that it is not natural death. We never recorded that number of deaths in the past in this community,' he lamented."
Quote: "Surroundings of the chemical site are caving in and the emission becomes stronger. We have tried to put out the fire burning underground to no avail and we decided to leave the rains to deal with it. 'But despite the heavy rains so far experienced this year, the fire has been as if the rains are fueling it.'"
Note: Lignite is like really low-grade coal made from compressed peat. There's no sulfur in it, so what's that sulfur smell they're smelling? Maybe there's been some hydrogen sulfide falling in the rain, or there's some in the ground there, or both. That would cause the sulfur odor AND help fuel the fire AND cause people to sicken and die…

2018-08-24 - Waste and recycling fires escalating dramatically in Canada and the US:
http://www.environmentalleader.com/2018/08/waste-recycling-facility-fires/
Quote: "Waste and recycling facility fires across the United States and Canada surged starting in the spring. During the first four months of the year alone, there was actually 93% uptick compared to the same period last year, a scrap metal and recycling fire security expert found. Throughout the summer it seemed like there was a blaze every other day."
Note: From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers." Also, "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

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."
