Event Update For 2014-03-26

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 sheriff's office says a total of 80 recreational vehicles were destroyed including boats, RVs and classic cars at Florida West RV Storage Facility at 4470 ALT 19."

Note: With all the vehicles of all kinds spontaneously igniting now, these places are increasingly dangerous places to park your vehicle, because if ANY of the vehicles has any rust on it or any electrified copper (e.g. a battery) then ALL of the vehicles might end up being destroyed when fire breaks out...

2014-03-26 - Building burns at 1:39 AM in Washington Park (Illinois), fifth in three days, mostly vacant:
http://www.bnd.com/2014/03/26/3129478/washington-park-suffers-fifth.html

Quote: "It's the fifth structure in the village to catch fire since Sunday. According to fire department reports, the call came at 1:39 a.m. with a report that a blaze had started in the rear of the building. Washington Park, which only has one active firefighter because of recent budget cuts that caused the rest of the department's manpower to be laid off, had four fires Sunday. Three of them were in houses that were vacant."

Note: That lone firefighter has been busy! And that sucks - ONE firefighter?! Lonely, nobody to talk to, nobody to watch your back and vice versa. Should always have at least TWO firefighters, just to keep them sane, and that'd be way safer too...

2014-03-26 - Four sewer workers killed by hydrogen sulfide, eight more injured, in coastal Phuket (Thailand):
http://www.thephuketforum.net/General-News-13/Hydrogen-sulfide-kills-four-injures-four-Phuket-sewer-27963-n.html
http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/four-workers-die-suffocation-cleaning-sewer-drain/

Quote: "Four water treatment workers were found dead and eight others injured in a sewer while cleaning and treating sewer drain. Authorities said the fumes from the sewer below, when released into the air, turned into hydrogen sulfide commonly known as 'rotten eggs' fumes, asphyxiating the workers, leading to their deaths."

Note: There've been lots of mysterious deaths in and around Phuket too, also likely from hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean. Then it'll settle into low-lying areas, since it's a heavier-than-air gas. One such low-lying area, of course, is sewer systems. It is also produced naturally in sewers too. If it gets into your sewer system and your sewer trap isn't functioning properly then it can flow into your house and gas you to death, as happened to a woman in Kansas City (Kansas), mentioned in the 2013-07-04 update. Obviously, these days, it may just blow in through a window, or get sucked into homes by air conditioners or heating systems, drop down through chimneys, etc.

2014-03-26 - Boy, 10, found dead, foaming at the mouth, near building in Soweto (South Africa):
http://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-courts/boy-found-dead-in-soweto-still-unclaimed-1.1667131

Quote: "The child died on Monday night. His body was found next to the wall of a house in Extension 10. Themba Mthembu, who lives near where the body was found, said: 'I arrived home after 9.30pm. According to neighbours, the boy had been there for a while and was foaming at the mouth. They suspected he had eaten poison.'"

Note: Maybe BREATHED poison, but maybe he drank some contaminated water too. Hydrogen sulfide poisoning can cause foaming at the mouth. Numerous people - sometimes multiple people in the same incident - have been found mysteriously dead foaming at the mouth...

Quote: "Sheriff's deputies say they got a call about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday to the North Shore Park boat ramp. Boaters out on the lake called deputies about a boat going in circles. By the time deputies arrived, the boaters had found a man floating face down."

Note: First link mentions both of these deaths, since both occurred in the Texarkana area on the same day, albeit in different bodies of water. Second and third links are just about the man found dead in Lake Wright Patman with his boat running nearby. Fourth link is just about the man found dead in Millwood Lake...
