Event Update For 2014-04-04

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.

2014-04-04 - Recycling facility hit by huge fire in Wellingborough (Britain), may burn for days:
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-26882277

Quote: "Residents in areas affected by the smoke should stay indoors, keep their doors and windows closed, and tune in to the local radio station for advice and information."

2014-04-04 - Major international insurer pulls out of the waste industry:
http://www.mrw.co.uk/news/major-insurer-pulls-out-of-waste-industry/8661142.article?blocktitle=Latest-news---recycling-and-waste-management&contentID=2182

Quote: "An international insurance company has decided to stop quoting any new business from the waste and recycling sector partly because of an 'unprecedented' number of waste fires, it has been confirmed."

Quote: "He said there are not many insurers left for the waste sector, adding: 'There are also a few unrated insurers that have a dabble, but there aren’t many.' In terms of domestic markets over the last few years he said: 'In general the insurance industry has not made much money out of recycling. There has certainly been an unprecedented amount of waste fires, which tend to be big. Once they get going it’s very difficult to put some of these things out.'"

Note: If they'd listened to me BEFORE the unprecedented number of fires started ravaging landfills and recycling centers around the world then they could've saved themselves many millions of dollars, if not billions. From the full hypothesis: "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."

http://www.okanaganway.ca/2014/04/motorhome-and-structure-fire-in-lake-country-extinguished-in-the-early-hours-of-april-4th/

Quote: "Neighbours also discovered a hedge fire at the same time down the road, which they doused with garden hoses, helping fire crews focus on the main blaze."

Quote: "RCMP appears some sort of accelerant was used to start the blaze near the front of the RV in front of the home on Lang Court, off Davidson Road."

Note: An accelerant, like, say, hydrogen sulfide and/or methane. This sounds much like an incident where parked police cars went up in flames at a police station in Norwich (Vermont), mentioned in the 2012-11-22 update. Initially they said that was arson too, and that accelerants were involved, then they changed their story and said it was accidental, probably after reviewing surveillance footage which showed the cars simply bursting into flame. They were correct about accelerants being involved though: both methane and hydrogen sulfide are highly flammable, which means they are accelerants. Other than accelerants, any real evidence of people being involved here? Nope...

Note: Two of them had oil on their bodies, and two more may have. Okay, let's just say oil killed the crap out of those four. That leaves 44 more dead dolphins, just in March. Last year there were 15 dead dolphins in this area, so just in March alone this year there were more than three TIMES that number of dead dolphins. This area is right on the Gulf of Mexico. Numerous PEOPLE have been found mysteriously dead all around the Gulf Coast too - in Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and especially Florida - and none of them had oil on their bodies...

2014-04-04 - Man, 56, found dead in submerged vehicle in water retention pond in Algonquin (Illinois):
http://www.nwherald.com/2014/04/04/algonquin-man-involved-in-crash-dies/au6owox/

Note: Bodies of water are low-lying areas where a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide will tend to accumulate. One breath can knock you unconscious or dead and if you're driving near a body of water then you've got about a 50/50 chance of ending up in the water. Breathing is an involuntary reflex, so if you're unconscious in water then you'll die, even if the gas itself doesn't flat-out strike you dead directly. As a consequence, lots of people are being found dead in submerged vehicles after they drive into bodies of water, but this problem will get much worse as time goes on...

Note: More likely he lost consciousness and fell face-down into the creek then breathed water while unconscious until he was dead. Wouldn't look any different, so there's no way to tell...

http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2014/04/corvallis_boy_found_dead_in_ho.html

Note: A boy, 9, dropped dead while walking to school recently, in Fredericton (Canada), mentioned in the 2014-03-10 update. I'm not sure children are dropping dead faster than adults though. It could be that their generally healthier physiology offsets the fact that they're generally smaller and thus easier to poison than adults...

2014-04-04 - Man, 20, chases after car and falls and dies in Linda Vista area of coastal San Diego (California):
http://www.cbs8.com/story/25162717/man-found-dead-in-linda-vista-street-identified

Note: So, the 'official' story here is he was running after a car and fell and died. Sounds pretty improbable there. I mean, I've chased after stuff and fallen pretty hard...but to KILL a person? Mmmm, did they even check to see if hydrogen sulfide had poisoned him? This area is right by the coast, and no, they didn't check, so they don't know. California had that stinkfest in 2012 when hydrogen sulfide was smelled/detected across a big swath of Southern California. And a bad odor hit Santa Monica too, which was blamed on a 'naturally occurring methane release' from Santa Monica Bay. Methane doesn't HAVE an odor though, so that was probably hydrogen sulfide as well, since both gases accumulate at the bottom of bodies of water. As time goes on, there will be more and more people dropping dead, in California and elsewhere. It's already happening...

Quote: "Ecuador's Tungurahua volcano has spewed 10-kilometre column of ash after a powerful, five-minute explosion that shot pyroclastic material onto its northern and northwestern flanks. Ecuador's geophysics institute said Friday's blast occurred at 6:10 p.m. local time and was followed by a second, four-minute explosion and five lesser tremors. The 5,023-metre volcano, nearly 140 kilometres south of Quito, revived on Feb. 1, with eruptions that affected a third of Ecuador's provinces and temporarily closed a regional airport."

http://www.ky3.com/news/local/red-cross-reports-busy-month-helping-fire-victims/21048998_25320690

Quote: "March was a busy month for the Red Cross helping fire victims across the Ozarks. The Southern Missouri Region of the American Red Cross gave assistance to more than 280 individuals across at least 34 counties in its 40-county service area during March, about twice last year’s number."

Note: So, the number of families needing Red Cross help in the Ozarks area is up 100% year-over-year. They helped me and my significant other back in 2005 when our house burned up too - they were there the day of the fire with a $250 prepaid credit card. Not a ton of money, no, but it's all in the timing - that money, right as catastrophe struck, really did make a difference, helped smooth out that bump on the road of life a bit...
