Event Update For 2013-04-23

 

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.

2013-04-23 - Blaze tears through pallet company, destroys two buildings, in Milroy (Indiana):

http://www.indystar.com/article/20130423/NEWS02/304230027/1001/NEWS
http://www.wthr.com/story/22051563/fire-damages-milroy-pallet-company-in-rush-county

 

Note: All flammable absorbent materials are absorbing hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and spontaneously combusting. Such materials include wood, paper, cardboard, generic trash, hay, straw, mulch, dried brush, clothing, cotton, wool, etc. Pallets are obviously made of wood so they have the absorbent flammable material vulnerability. They also have another vulnerability: hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel and that's what pallets are usually held together with: steel nails or screws, which rust. So a little hydrogen sulfide gets near some rusty iron/steel, a spark pops, right next to some wood contaminated with flammable hydrogen sulfide and/or methane and whoosh, fire breaks out. There have been a whole lot of pallet-related fires in this past year as a consequence, and there's no end in sight. In fact, the problem seems to be worsening, which is only logical since our atmosphere is being increasingly contaminated over time. The last major pallet-related fire occurred in Akron (Ohio), where a building was destroyed by fire at a pallet company there, as mentioned in the 2013-04-19 update, just a few days prior to this event in Milroy...

 

I believe we could track the decline of human civilization by simply watching the number of pallet companies being destroyed by fires. The number per unit of time (weekly, monthly, whatever) will increase, eventually peak, then decline as there will be a decreasing number of pallet companies LEFT to burn. By the time there are no pallet companies left at all - and hence no pallet company fires - there will probably be little or nothing left of human civilization at that point either. In other words, we could use pallet companies as a model for the state of human civilization itself.

2013-04-23 - Garage explodes and burns, fire spreads to home, in Lexington (Kentucky):
http://www.lex18.com/news/lexington-home-owner-explosions-followed-by-fire/

Quote: "Darrell Haynes says he had just finished cutting the grass, and parked the mower in the garage, where he heard the booms."

Note: So, he opens the garage, gets his mower out, commences mowing. While he's mowing his lawn, a gas plume blows into his now-open garage and is held there and concentrated by the wind. He finishes mowing, shuts off he mower, puts the mower in the garage, closes the door, goes inside. Before long, the gas makes its way to the copper battery cables, then there's a small explosion and fire, the lawnmower tank ruptures, then a bigger explosion and fire. It was probably something along those lines...

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/accidents/news/article.cfm?c_id=13&objectid=10879174

Quote: "I was in the garden and there was a big [explosion] sound like something had blown up."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. You don't want to be working on a utility pole when some hydrogen sulfide blows by. That might cause a flash explosion, like the one that happened in this incident...

2013-04-23 - Couch bursts into flame outside home near Lake Mead (Nevada), fire spreads to home, family flees:
http://www.mynews3.com/content/news/local/story/lake-mead-decatur-fire-las-vegas/d9twxavihkCYj9fkyAyK9g.cspx

Note: Furniture has the same vulnerabilities that pallets do: made of absorbent flammable materials and held together with iton/steel (nails, screws, staples), which is reactive with hydrogen sulfide. So some hydrogen sulfide slowly saturates an outdoor couch, eventually meets some rusty iron/steel, a spark is generated which lands on the couch which is itself contaminated with an accelerant, and whoosh, fire breaks out. It's probably not a good idea to keep flammable absorbent materials (or vehicles) outside your house, at least not close enough to spread to your hourse and burn it down if fire breaks out...

http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/bromley/10372595.St_Paul_s_Cray_recycling_plant_on_fire_for_third_time_in_five_weeks/

Note: Hydrogen sulfide and/or methane are being absorbed into flammable absorbent materials and spontaneously combusting. Many such materials will be found at landfills and recycling centers, such as wood, paper, cardboard, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool, hay, straw, carpet, dried brush, etc.

2013-04-23 - Four fires hit same neighborhood in coastal Suffolk (Virginia) since October:
http://www.wavy.com/dpp/news/local_news/suffolk/fear-after-fourth-fire-in-chuckatuck

Quote: "I had gone to bed, but was not asleep, and heard some popping sounds and just went to check it out," said Harris. "That's what we heard from the other fires also."

Note: One was a corncrib, one a vacant barn, one a tool shed, one a garage. And 'popping sounds' heard at all four fires. Those popping sounds may have been smallish gas plumes - hydrogen sulfide or methane or both - finding an ignition source and detonating in small explosions, starting these fires. When the plumes are larger then their detonations will sound like fireworks or may be mistaken for gunfire. When they're REALLY big then you get those neighborhood-shaking explosions that people have been reporting around the world in the last year or two...

http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Mount-Vernon-Fire-152-Beechwood-Avenue-Families-Homeless-204400561.html

Note: Basements are where a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide will tend to accumulate once the gas infiltrates a building. That's also where electrical panels and water heaters are usually located and either may serve as an ignition source. Mount Vernon is 2 miles east of the Hudson River and 2 miles west of Long Island Sound...

Quote: "Kate Malonyay was found dead with bruising on her body on Monday when officers forced their way into her ground-floor Mosman apartment. The Homicide Squad is treating the death as a suspected murder but say an autopsy yesterday was inconclusive."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide poisoning can cause bruising as blood vessels rupture, though it does not always do so. This is more likely to happen when the gas isn't concentrated enough to kill you quickly, but rather it knocks you out and you lay on the ground unconscious and dying for a while and during that time blood vessels may rupture causing bruising. When this occurs, the victim may look as if they've been beaten...
