Event Update For 2014-08-18





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.

2014-08-18 - Pile of scrap metal bursts into flame at 1 AM at metal recycling plant in coastal Corpus Christi (Texas):

http://www.topix.com/business/metals/2014/08/fire-investigators-look-into-cause-scrap-metal-recycling-plant-fire
http://www.scrapmonster.com/news/ccfd-investigates-overnight-fire-at-scrap-metal-recycling-plant/1/16895

Note: These fires where scrap metal ignites like this really don't have any other explanation - these fires are caused by hydrogen sulfide and its reactivity with rusty iron/steel. In the past, scrap metal didn't ignite but in the last few years there have been an increasing number of incidents where scrap metal has burst into flame. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making explosions, fires and people and animals sickening and/or dying more common during those hours. This area is right on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico...

2014-08-18 - Vacant factory burns for third time in four days in Erie (Pennsylvania), near Lake Erie:

2014-08-18 - Fish dying in three different retention ponds in Parrish (Florida), near the coast:
http://www.baynews9.com/content/news/baynews9/news/article.html/content/news/articles/bn9/2014/8/18/parrish_fish_kill_.html

Quote: "Homeowners at the River Plantation subdivision in Parrish want to know what caused a massive fish kill in three retention ponds on Sunday. 'There were several hundred floating around out there. I mean, some good size fish too,' said homeowner Joseph Romant."

Note: A man, age 40, was found dead in a swimming pool at home in Parrish at about the same time, mentioned in the 2014-08-17 update. Hydrogen sulfide is blowing in off the Gulf of Mexico, North America's sewer, and it is water-soluble, so it is contaminating water here and there, and that's going to kill people in swimming pools, fish in ponds, etc. That's not new though - people and animals have been mysteriously dying in Florida (and other coastal communities around the world) for some time now...

http://www.delmarvanow.com/story/news/local/maryland/2014/08/17/bayside-ocean-city-foul-play/14200845/

Quote: "Police in Ocean City said Sunday no foul play was involved in the death of a New Jersey man in a hotel room over the weekend. The Ocean City Police Department initially labeled the death of Lyndhurst, New Jersey, resident Jorge Troca as suspicious. The 38-year-old was pronounced dead at Atlantic General Hospital at 3:45 a.m. Saturday."

Note: Wee hours, near the coast, young-ish man dropping dead...

2014-08-18 - In separate incidents, two men found dead in bodies of water in coastal New York City (New York), three in 2 days:
http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/body-found-floating-city-article-1.1908189
http://www.news.nom.co/another-body-found-floating-in-city-11536678-news/

Quote: "The body — believed to be of a man in his 30s — was found floating in the Hudson River off Pier 45 near Christopher St. at 11:30 a.m. It was the third body to be recovered from the city’s waterways in the last two days, officials said. About 24 hours earlier, the body of an unidentified man was pulled from the water near W. 10th St. and the West Side Highway, officials said. Four hours after that, the body of a woman believed to be in her 30s washed up on Staten Island. The woman was seen floating facedown near a pier off Seaview Ave. and Father Capodanno Blvd. in Sea Beach about 4:15 p.m."

Note: I'd already mentioned the woman found dead at a beach in Staten Island, and now here's two more corpses. Residents of coastal communities should not count on living long lives...

2014-08-18 - Man, 21, found dead in the water near stadium in coastal Baltimore (Maryland):
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-body-identified-20140819,0,2457034.story

Quote: "The bodies of 13 people have been recovered from the waters in and around the Inner Harbor since October 2013."

Note: The Inner Harbor suddenly turned milky green-white in 2013, all the fish died, and a 'rotten egg' odor was in the air, in Baltimore, mentioned in the 2013-07-18 update. It wasn't long after that event that peoples' corpses began being found in unusual numbers in the Inner Harbor. That's hardly surprising - poison gas does tend to cause problems with people staying alive. The British weaponized hydrogen sulfide and used it against German soldiers in trench warfare in WWI because it, you know, KILLS PEOPLE...

Note: From the full hypothesis: "As planes land, they will more frequently blow tires, or their landing gear will collapse, or they will run off runways."

    1. Way to cheer a fellow up on his birthday! Heh, just kidding, but it is my birthday. Weird coincidence there: H.P. Lovecraft and I have the same birthday. He wrote about ancient uncaring horrors from the depths, and I am writing about ancient uncaring horrors from the depths, although the ones I write about are bacterial and real, not monsterfied and fictional. Still. quite a coincidence there! Things that make you go 'Hmmmm.'

  2. Hey "All the best!" on your birthday!

    Mine is the same day as the first atomic bomb explosion (go figure).

    Visiting different blogs, I've noticed that a lot of people can handle separate facts - like the methane leaking from the Arctic area, tundra, and Laptev sea, for example, but don't connect that it logically leads to our demise at some point. Many have this techno-fantasy, built into their brains via Hollywood I guess, like that "oh, we'll just invent something" attitude, indicating "they don't get it." Others, along the same line, think we're so smart that we can handle anything that comes our way. Man, are THEY gonna be disappointed! I mean, if we're so intelligent, why are we in this mess?

    1. Yeah, people seem to over-estimate the capabilities of human civilization, as if we have some kind of magic techno-wand that can wipe away problems like this. Well, I'm from the Show Me State, so I'll have to see us pull out that magic techno-wand and make this problem disappear. It'd be NICE if we could do that, no doubt about that! Unfortunately, realistically, that just doesn't look even remotely possible.
