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...

2014-10-30 - Waste plant hit by explosion and fire in Mainz (Germany):

2014-10-30 - Fireworks factory explodes and burns in Stafford (Britain), at least 2 killed:

2014-10-30 - Explosion hits university in Fredericton (Canada), second time this month, 1 injured:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/unb-reopens-toole-hall-in-fredericton-after-small-explosion-1.2818133
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...

2014-10-30 - Boat explodes and burns while docked at marina, second boat destroyed too, in coastal Kemah (Texas), 1 injured:

Quote: "Three boats were damaged by the fire. The boat where the fire started and another in the next slip were destroyed. Another boat was damaged by the heat of the blaze, Rikard said."

Note: In late August a prospective buyer was on a yacht named 'Botox' in Kemah when it burst into flame, mentioned in the 2014-08-29 update...

2014-10-30 - Two boats, tractor, and shop destroyed by fire on Little River Road near coastal Port Angeles (Washington):

http://www.konp.com/local/10162

Quote: "Destroyed were a Kubota tractor, two boats, a hoist, a metal lathe, thousands of dollars worth of tools and a bundle of tongue-and-grove pine boards, a Fire District 2 spokesperson said. No injuries were reported. Little River Road runs along the Elwha River south of Port Angeles."

2014-10-30 - Houseboat bursts into flame shortly after 1 AM, second fire in a week, while docked at Roydon Marina (Britain):
http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/Boat-Roydon-hit-second-days/story-23793570-detail/story.html

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...

Quote: "A spokesperson for Dublin City Council confirmed that its works depot building in Stannaway Park was 'destroyed by fire'. 'This building housed facilities for staff and storage areas for vehicles and work equipment,' they said. 'A pick-up van, tractor and three ride-on mowers were damaged in the fire but at this stage it is difficult to estimate the cost.'"

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...

Quote: "According to the Davidson Fire Department, the house was in the final stages of construction when it caught fire. The 9,500 square foot home was estimated at $1.4 million. Investigators say it is a total loss."

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...

    Massive drill bit nearly pierces New York City subway train

    A massive drill bit being used in an underground construction project bored through the top of a New York City subway tunnel and nearly pierced a train, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority says.

    The 10-inch wide drill bit came through the subway ceiling about 700 feet from the 21st Street Station in Queens shortly before noon Thursday and grazed an unoccupied car on the F train, the MTA said. A conductor noticed the drill bit and stopped the train, which was carrying about 800 people. A second train was used to bring the passengers back to the 21st Street Station platform.

    Several windows were shattered and the roof and side of the train sustained minor damage, but no one was hurt. The MTA said it is investigating.

    The drill bit is part of the MTA's East Side Access project, which will connect the Long Island Rail Road with Grand Central Terminal.

    Not surprisingly, the mishap had passengers perplexed.

    “That could have killed somebody," Trinidad Casas told CBSNewYork.com. "That could have hurt somebody."

    “I don’t even know how that’s possible," Anthony Jerez said. "So yeah, that’s pretty scary."

    “They’re supposed to be professionals, they’re supposed to be doing what they’re supposed to be doing,” Jerez added. ”They’re getting money. You know, the city is paying them, paying a lot of tax money.”

  3. Whoa, scary! That guy wasn't kidding, that could've killed someone. That'd be like a scene from a 'Final Destination' movie, a drill unexpectedly crunching through the subway roof and piercing the victim's skull and spewing brain matter all over horrified bystanders. Take it from there, Hollywood!
