Event Update For 2013-04-09

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.

2013-04-09 - Blaze damages main storage facility at pallet-making business in Charleston (Arkansas):

http://www.4029tv.com/news/arkansas/river-valley/Firefighters-contain-Charleston-pallet-plant-fire/-/14498626/19687118/-/11535agz/-/index.html

 

Quote: "Crews said the fire is contained to the main storage area for wooden pallets."

 

Note: Wood is an absorbent flammable material and all such materials are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting. That includes wood, paper, cardboard, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool, hay, straw, mulch, dried brush, etc. Pallets have been involved in a large number of fires this past year or so, including a mammoth pallet fire at a pallet company in Tippecanoe County (Indiana) that burned 100,000 pallets, as mentioned in the 2013-01-05 update. Besides the wood, pallets also have another vulnerability: hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel (no flame necessary) and pallets are held together with nails or screws. So the nails or screws are probably rusting and that may be providing the ignition source for contaminated wood to combust, even before it's saturated enough to spontaneously combust...

Quote: "WBAL-TV’s Sky Team 11 video captured large flames, erupting from a huge pile of wooden pallets at the site. According to fire officials, nearly 1,000 or more pallets caught fire."

Note: And here's another big ol' pile of pallets igniting...

http://english.cntv.cn/20130409/104519.shtml

Quote: "The factory belongs to Nippon Shindo Company, which is mainly engaged in the manufacture and sale of copper products."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, and explosively reactive with powdered copper, so I wonder if there was any powdered copper or fine copper shavings in that facility...

2013-04-09 - Tractor trailer bursts into flame in Lüdenscheid (Germany), starts sewer fire, toxic cloud erupts, 65 injured:
http://firegeezer.com/2013/04/10/truck-fire-starts-sewer-fire-starts-poisonous-smoke-65-hospitalized/

Quote: "A short while later, smoke started coming from the sewer openings and not long after that reports of respiratory problems started coming in from not only the police and fire people, but many residents in the area. Determining that there was a toxicity in the smoke, the fire brigade ordered an evacuation of the entire area around the truck yard. Buses were brought in to provide shelter for 150 residents as the toxic cloud started traveling through the neighborhood."

Note: A common name for hydrogen sulfide is 'sewer gas', as it is produced by ancient anaerobic bacteria and archaea in warm, anoxic, biomatter-rich environments like sewers, septic systems, dead zones in oceans, etc. Sounds like whatever burned in that trailer got into the sewers and either it was reactive with hydrogen sulfide, or the sewer fire created enough heat to expand the air inside the sewers and push hydrogen sulfide up and out onto that neighborhood, sickening dozens...

Quote: "Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society education manager Mike Bossley said he was concerned the deaths were symptoms of a deep-rooted problem. The overall number of dolphin deaths was worst he had seen in his 25 years working in the area. 'Large die-offs have happened in other parts of the world, and without wanting to sound alarmist, I am worried that could happen here,' Dr. Bossley said. 'The reason I'm worried ... is because I've never seen this number of deaths before and I'm worried it is a prelude of what is to come.'"

Note: One was beheaded, but as they point out, that may have been done post-mortem, by someone finding the bodies and wanting a kangaroo head for some reason. Otherwise, no signs of injury or disease, just dropped dead...

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/04/10/firefighters-find-burned-body-on-highway-85-onramp-in-san-jose/

Quote: "Williams said that there were indications that the person had been camping in the area, such as a mattress and tent poles at the fire site. He said it appeared that the person was the only one at the site. He said the person's burns were so extensive that they could not determine a gender or other identifying qualities."

Note: Possibly a homeless person. Numerous homeless people have burned to death this past year or so. Two homeless people were found burned to death in Bidwell Park in Chico (California), as mentioned in the 2012-10-24 update. California is downwind of the giant oceanic dead zone known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is surely pluming hydrogen sulfide now. Homeless people are particularly vulnerable because they are outside virtually all of the time, fully exposed to any hydrogen sulfide or methane blowing through in the atmosphere. They also tend to sleep on the ground where a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide will tend to lurk. Once their clothes get saturated with either gas, or both, then they may spontaneously combust or ignite and burn up very quickly from the slightest spark, even static electricity. People being incinerated in this way is not limited to only homeless people, of course, but they are the most vulnerable...

Note: This happened after a tire exploded. As mentioned, hydrogen sulfide is being absorbed into tire rubber. Then when brakes are applied, the brake-friction burns hotter than normal (since hydrogen sulfide burns very hot), and then bad things can happen: tires ignite or explode, brakes burn out or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This problem hits massive vehicles most because massive vehicles require more brake-friction to slow and they also tend to have more tires. Such vehicles include buses, tanker trucks like this one, tractor trailers, large RVs, dump trucks, cement trucks, etc. It affects planes too. One plane blew FOURTEEN TIRES after landing in coastal Anchorage (Alaska), as mentioned in the 2013-09-11 update. That's when planes hit their brakes the hardest too - right after landing. This CAN affect any vehicle though. If you're driving a pickup or an SUV and your tires are contaminated and you hit your brakes hard, your SUV may burst into flame or blow a tire and overturn or go out of control or you might lose your braking capability, etc.
