Event Update For 2014-10-31





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.

2014-10-31 - Underground fire spews sulfur-smelling smoke, the ground moves, in Harrogate (Britain):
http://www.harrogateadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/updated-fire-crews-confirm-reports-of-ground-moving-in-harrogate-1-6926950
http://www.wetherbynews.co.uk/news/local/updated-fire-crews-confirm-reports-of-ground-moving-in-harrogate-1-6926950

Quote: "Firefighters were called to the grass verge on Otley Road yesterday morning after a member of the public said he had seen the 'ground moving and smoke shooting out 6ft into the air'. The member of the public also reported that there was a strong smell of sulphur from the ground before members of the fire brigade arrived on the scene shortly after 11am. Fire crews confirmed that the 'ground did appear to be moving' before contacting North Yorkshire Police and cordoning off the area."

Wiki: "Harrogate is a spa town in North Yorkshire, England. Historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire, the town is a tourist destination and its visitor attractions include its spa waters and RHS Harlow Carr gardens."

Note: They say underground electrical fire. They use a lot of sulfur in the electrical power industry? Nooooo. Could be some hydrogen sulfide, which is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, did ignite an underground electrical fire, and that's what caused the sulfur smell. Otherwise, what could it have been? In any case, if there's ANY kind of fire these days and you smell sulfur, you might want to GTFO...

2014-10-31 - Underground electrical explosion rocks Waltham (Massachusetts), near the coast, blackouts ensue:

Note: They'll be blaming the underground explosions and fires on salt from salt trucks soon, completely forgetting that the underground explosions and fires have been happening whether there's snow or rain or anything else or not...

2014-10-31 - Underground propane tank explodes and burns in Seeley Lake (Montana), 2 injured:
http://www.nbcmontana.com/news/two-men-injuried-in-seeley-lake-work-site-explosion/29469654
http://flatheadbeacon.com/2014/10/31/two-injured-propane-explosion-seeley-lake/
http://www.kpax.com/news/2-hurt-in-seeley-lake-gas-line-explosion/

Note: Gas leak, but they don't know what the ignition source was. Quite possibly the work of the Ghostly Match here, though since nobody is checking the air or ground for hydrogen sulfide or methane, they'll never be able to definitively determine the cause. Looks just like the other gas pipelines that have been exploding and burning except this time there just happened to be a couple guys nearby trying to fix the leak...

2014-10-31 - SpaceShipTwo passenger rocket explodes north of Los Angeles (California), 1 killed, 1 injured:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2014/10/31/virgin-galactic-spaceshiptwo-crashes-after-in-flight-anomaly-during-test-one-dead/

Quote: "The Virgin Galactic spaceship exploded after separating from WhiteKnightToo, which carries it to 50,000 feet before its release."

Quote: "Friday's accident was the second space-related explosion this week. On Tuesday, an unmanned commercial supply rocket bound for the International Space Station exploded moments after liftoff from a launch site in Virginia. No injuries were reported that accident, which drew criticism over NASA's growing reliance on private U.S. companies in this post-shuttle era."

Note: Maybe NASA is having private companies doing launches because they know about the atmospheric problem and what that means for rockets and planes, e.g. all the burning/exploding/crashing. Privatize the catastrophes!

http://blog.ctnews.com/connecticutpostings/2014/10/31/1-hurt-in-bridgeport-fire/

Note: Watch the East Coast. As that 2.5 gigaton methane clathrate deposit continues to release its stored methane, the East Coast is highly likely to be destroyed by fires and explosions. Looks inevitable. That's probably why responders just trained to deal with a 10-kiloton explosion in coastal New York City, mentioned in the 2014-10-22 update. Europe won't do too well either, when that gas blows eastward. It's odorless and invisible, so nobody will see it or smell it, and nobody's checking for it, but people will certainly see the fires and explosions...

Event Update For 2014-10-30





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.

2014-10-30 - Man found burned to death in burning van parked at beach in coastal Siasconset on Nantucket Island (Massachusetts):
http://www.ack.net/Bodyfoundinsideburningvehicle103014.html
http://www.capecod.com/newscenter/body-found-nantucket-vehicle-fire/

Quote: "An unidentified male body was discovered by Nantucket police officers and firefighters inside a work van that was reported on fire in a beachfront parking lot off Low Beach Road in Sconset Thursday morning."

Note: The day prior, a person was found burned to death under a bridge in Toronto (Canada), and in a separate incident, a man was found burned to death in a burning car at 4:55 AM in Stroud (Britain), near the coast, and an RV exploded and burned, man found dead, at 5 AM at a marina next to Lake Tawakoni (Texas), all three events mentioned in the 2014-10-29 update. As the atmosphere is increasingly contaminated by flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide, obviously many people are going to burn to death, often (but not always) in vehicles. This particular event sounds similar to the man who was killed when his van exploded and burned at a beach in Australia, mentioned in the 2014-02-06 update...

2014-10-30 - 'Loud bang', electrical disruptions, blue and green flashes in the sky, over Rochdale (Britain):
http://www.sott.net/article/288265-Phantom-lights-in-sky-over-Rochdale-UK-mystery-continues

Quote: "Mystery continues to surround phantom lights that appeared in the skies over Rochdale last week. As featured in Wednesday's Rochdale Observer, strange flashes of blue and green were spotted in the skies, power went out and homes were left without electricity during the curious episode last Thursday evening, October 23. Some people also reported hearing a loud bang, while others thought they had seen an object shoot into the sky."

Note: Methane burns blue, hydrogen sulfide burns green. Both gases are explosively flammable. Hydrogen sulfide will react with electrified copper and cause electrical problems. Both gases are blowing around in the atmosphere. This doesn't really seem like that much of a mystery here...

http://www.newbrunswickbeacon.ca/43048/explosion-unb-campus-sends-1-person-hospital/

Note: This university is located on the banks of the Saint John River. This was apparently some type of chemical explosion. Numerous schools and universities have been hit by chemical explosions and fires in recent years, sometimes when nobody is around. Hydrogen sulfide is explosively reactive with numerous chemicals, and with flammable methane blowing around too, such incidents are on the rise. Students are going to get killed this way. Quite a few have already been injured...

Quote: "A joint fire and police investigation will now take place to establish the cause of the fire, although Essex Fire and Rescue Service's initial investigations have concluded that the fire started deliberately."

Note: They haven't ruled out accidental causes so they're just making assumptions, like you'd expect from incompetent fire investigators. The only question is whether they're being purposefully incompetent, to perpetrate a deception, or whether they're just naturally incompetent. Could be either...

http://www.livingstondaily.com/story/news/local/community/green-oak-township/2014/10/30/smoke-flames-explosions-green-oak/18164031/

Quote: "Green Oak Township Deputy Fire Chief Kevin Gentry says they were called just before midnight to a car fire on Avon Drive in the Island Lake Subdivision. Firefighters arrived to find a fully involved car and garage fire that was extending into the house. First responders, which included Green Oak police, awakened and evacuated four residents of the house who were unaware of the fire, removing them and several dogs and a bird from the home. Green Oak firefighters, assisted by units from the Brighton, South Lyon, Lyon Township and Hamburg Township departments, extinguished the fire, which destroyed the garage and car and left the home standing but severely damaged. The cause of the fire, which appears to have originated from the car, is under investigation."

Quote: "The home and garage remain standing, but it's considered a 'total loss,' Gentry said."

Note: And another vehicle fire destroys another home in the middle of the night. Not a good idea these days to park a vehicle near anything you don't want to see going up in flames...

Note: They haven't ruled out accidental causes so they don't know if it's arson or not, just more jumping to conclusions, as incompetent and/or inexperienced investigators are apt to do. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and animals and people sickening or dying more common during those hours...

Note: A $12.7 million alcohol treatment center under construction was just destroyed by a huge inferno in coastal Bethel (Alaska) too, mentioned in the 2014-10-29 update. Buildings under construction are inherently more vulnerable to the atmospheric contamination problem than are completed, occupied, and well-insulated buildings, so it's now a race against time to get buildings completed before they're destroyed by fires and/or explosions. Increasingly we are losing the race...

Quote: "'There is a small aircraft that went into the Flight Safety Building,' near Mid-Continent Airport, according to Steve Phillips, a Flight Safety International spokesman."

Quote: "A small plane lost power after takeoff and crashed into a flight-training building while trying to return to a Kansas airport Thursday, killing four people, injuring five others and igniting a fire that sent up towering plumes of black smoke that could be seen for miles around Wichita, officials and witnesses said."

Note: Both of the above plane crashes occurred shortly after takeoff as the planes were gaining altitude but then experienced engine failure. Planes are flying up into pockets of the atmosphere that don't have enough oxygen to keep the engines running, so they're sputtering out. This mainly affects small planes, like both of these, since large commercial planes are specifically designed to operate in high-altitude low-oxygen environments. Small planes aren't, so they're mainly the ones crashing shortly after takeoff...

Quote: "A volcanic eruption has rained ash over parts of central Costa Rica and prompted authorities to evacuate some communities. Authorities and scientists are on alert after the overnight explosion at the Turrialba volcano. Volcanologist Gino Gonzalez said Thursday that the volcano had been rumbling and producing seismic activity since the previous evening. He said the explosion caused the side of the crater to collapse, and ashfall was recorded in four provinces. Turrialba is located about 44 miles (71 kilometers) east of the capital, San Jose."

Most of those weapons will eventually run out of ammo or power, but that hatchet will sure come in handy and it's mounted in an easy-grab location."
