Event Update For 2019-12-18

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: "The yacht belonging to Grammy-winning recording artist Marc Anthony has capsized after a fire broke out at the vessel that was moored in Watson Island, according to sources. The 120-foot long vessel, which was docked off the MacArthur Causeway at the Island Gardens Marina, could be seen with heavy flames and smoke billowing from its upper decks, Wednesday night."

Quote: "The vessel, named Andiamo, has since been ruled a total loss."

Quote: "Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to the blaze at 7:30 p.m. near 888 MacArthur Causeway."

Note: The MacArthur Causeway is where the original face-eater event occurred in 2012. His car broke down, so he got out and started walking, stripping off his clothes as he went. Then he came across a homeless guy, jumped on him and ate his face off, blinded him permanently. Cops came upon the scene and told him to stop eating the guy's face. He growled at them then went back to eating the guy's face. They shot him, but that didn't stop him. So they shot him again and again and again and again and again, and after six shots, he died. He was found to have no drugs in his system. None of the later face-eaters had drugs in their systems either. These are the 994th and 995th boats/ships to burn/explode in 2019...
