Event Update For 2014-04-20





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.

http://www.pennenergy.com/articles/pennenergy/2014/04/explosion-at-waterport-power-generation-station-blacks-out-most-of-gibraltar.html

Quote: "Local media reported a generator at Waterport Power Station caught fire and exploded due to a mechanical failure. No-one was injured, but the outage shut down the online betting operations of several firms, including William Hill, Betfred and Ladbrokes, which are based in Gibraltar. Online gambling is an important part of Gibraltar's economy with international companies choosing to base themselves there because of the territory's low taxes. The outage meant many people were unable to play bets online on a busy Easter Sunday of sport."

Note: I'd wager that they have more problems like this...

Quote: "Powerful explosions occurred in the provincial capital Lahore of Punjab on Sunday; injuring dozens of children aged between 10-17 following gas balloons explosions while they were playing in a playground."

Note: What are they using in the balloons? Helium is normally used and helium is an inert non-flammable gas...

http://www.winnfm.com/news/local/8064-fire-chief-addresses-landfill-fires

Note: 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."

Quote: "Steve Paske, battalion chief with the Missoula Fire Department, said nobody was injured when the braking unit caught fire. A smaller locomotive engine was brought in to tow the damaged engine to a side track, and Paske said MRL was bringing in another engine to hook up and pull the train away. He said the engineer on the train told him the engine cars were very new, and that in his 12 years of doing the job he hadn’t seen a mechanical failure like this one."

Note: So trains are not immune to the brake-fire problem. Still, it doesn't seem to be affecting them anywhere nearly as badly as tractor trailers and other heavy vehicles with rubber tires...

2014-04-20 - Car veers over centerline, hits car head-on, in Pelican Rapids (Minnesota), 2 injured:
http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/432601/group/homepage/
http://www.voiceofalexandria.com/news/state/article_e4a1ed04-c884-11e3-a9fb-0017a43b2370.html

Note: Look at the above five head-on crashes: Fisher Ferry Road, island of Guam, Margaret River, Balch Springs, Pelican Rapids. What do they all have in common? Bodies of water. Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas which and so it will tend to accumulate wherever water does, and it can knock you unconscious or dead with one or two breaths. So this is exactly what you'd expect to see, drivers near bodies of water losing consciousness or dying while driving and then veering around and slamming into other vehicles, or trees, or buildings. The gas will blow around to other areas too, so you won't be immune anywhere, but you'll be MORE in danger near bodies of water and other low-lying areas (canyons, valleys, ravines, etc), or downwind of them...

Note: Hmmm! Copper replacement, possibly?

  1. The airman who died in Minot MT is like the forth or fifth military member to die @ this base since I started following this JJF site. That is odd to see "The Same Base", multiple times in you're daily events ( then again it isin't )I want to say one of the five death incidents involved more than one persons from Minot base.

    1. Yes, been noticing all the Minot-area airman deaths. Are they getting more news coverage than other places? That doesn't seem all that likely. While Minot is 'important', so are many other bases. So I dunno what the deal is with all the dying there, just observing as we go.

  2. PA in the news as usual with sinkholes, burning vehicles and buildings, crashes and people keeling over. Great place to live - especially if you like "surprise" (or "roller coaster") weather where it's in the mid 70's on Tuesday and on Wednesday it struggles to get to the mid 50's.

    Mulch catching fire spontaneously? How's that work? Smoldering cigarette?

    Good catch with that locomotive catching fire in the brakes.

    Graphene - just in time for the collapse of industrial civilization!

    All the best,
    Tom
