Quote: "Police in Centre County are investigating after a man's body was found inside a burning car. State Police in Philipsburg said it happened October 30. A passing driver called to report a car on fire along Casanova Road in the Devil's Elbow area of Rush Township, Centre County. Police said 43 year-old Nicholas Gray, of Osceola Mills, was found inside the burned car, dead."
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.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...

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...

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 - Explosion hits university in Fredericton (Canada), second time this month, 1 injured:

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...

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...

http://www.gazetteseries.co.uk/news/11569335.UPDATE__Rodborough_Common_car_fire___police_believe_cause_of_death_was_non_suspicious/
Quote: "Officers were called by the fire service to a 4x4 vehicle alight on Rodborough Common, Stroud at 04:55 GMT. They found a body in the car shortly afterwards. The circumstances of his death are being treated as 'unknown'."
Note: Looks like a case of SPABTDIC Syndrome, 'Suddenly People Are Burning To Death In Cars'. From the full hypothesis: "Vehicles of all kinds will continue to burn, as they have been, and the number of vehicular fires will continue to escalate, inevitably resulting in a corresponding increase in the number of people being incinerated in their vehicles."
2014-10-29 - Shop explodes at 5:30 AM near Madhwapur (India), nearby homes damaged too, 1 injured:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/allahabad/Mysterious-explosion-in-shop-leaves-1-injured/articleshow/44975631.cms
Quote: "SP, city, Rajesh Kumar Yadav shared the dilemma of cops, 'an explosion has three tell tale signs - burning, smoke and pit. However, all these signs are missing at the site of the explosion. Even the two domestic LPG cylinders recovered from the site were intact.'"
Note: So what exploded? Gases in the atmosphere. It wasn't anything particular about that shop; the atmosphere is kinda random, lots of chaos in the system, so buildings and cars and such are just randomly exploding. No way to tell when your own home will explode similarly. Could be tonight, could be years, no way to know. Well, maybe governments have some way to do some explosion forecasting, but they aren't sharing the info with the people. 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: "At this time, Lower Township Police Department does not know what caused the vibrations. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), which monitors earthquake activity as it happens, is not reporting an earthquake in Southern New Jersey."
Note: There's a 2.5 gigaton methane clathrate deposit melting away right off the East Coast there, containing enough explosive power to cause 250,000 ten-kiloton explosions, so yeah, one would expect there to be some thunderous ground-shaking explosions along the East Coast. Responders just trained for a 10-kiloton explosion in coastal New York City (New York), mentioned in the 2014-10-22 update. Surely not a coincidence...

Quote: "The actual cause is still unknown, but ONG officials believe it could have been static."
Note: Or something rusty, like, say, a gas pipeline. Derp. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel and copper, especially electrified copper. It's also corrosive to both steel and concrete, so gas pipes are going to corrode faster than normal from here on out and spring leaks. Where in the past a leak would just result in the gas dissipating into the air with the wind, causing no one any heartache except for the gas company being upset over lost gas revenue, nowadays it is increasingly likely that any leak will result in a fire or explosion, which is why there are increasing numbers of events like this now. And there's rusty iron/steel all over the planet, from pipes themselves to old railroad spikes from the 1800s, plus nails, bolts, pallets, fences, vehicles, you name it.

2014-10-28 - Man dies after car bursts into flame on road at 12:42 AM in coastal Georgetown (Malaysia):
http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/10/28/car-system-fire-man-dies/
http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/278844
Note: The fire didn't kill him - his heart stopped. Hydrogen sulfide is igniting vehicles AND killing people, often via cardiac arrest caused by respiratory paralysis. Hydrogen sulfide will adsorb onto matter as it blows by, which probably mostly occurs in the wee hours. That includes plastic and rubber, like wiring insulation. It's also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. So some gas blows by, adsorbs onto the car wiring. Then later, when the car is running, that wiring is electrified and fire breaks out. Not all of the adsorbed hydrogen sulfide will be burned off by the fire, so if you're near enough to breathe the smoke then you may end up dead like this man...

2014-10-27 - Boat bursts into flame at 1 AM while moored at luxury marina in Harlow (Britain), on the River Stort, nobody there:
http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/news/11561217.print/
http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/Narrow-boat-Roydon-Marina/story-23610977-detail/story.html
Quote: "Firefighters spent more than an hour tackling a canal boat blaze at a luxury marina. Crews were called to Roydon Marina Village at 1am this morning. The 15-metre narrow boat was said to be 'heavily smoke logged' on arrival. Firefighters wore breathing apparatus and used a one hose reel to deal with the blaze. The fire was extinguished at around 2:15am. Reports suggest there was no one on the boat at the time of the blaze and an ambulance was not called to the scene."
Note: Just another boat going up in flames in the middle of the night with nobody there. No big deal...as long as you don't own a boat!

Quote: "Investigators believe an accelerant was used to set to the bus on fire."
Note: Both hydrogen sulfide and methane are accelerants. So, wee hours, coastal area, accelerants...sounds like some gas blew ashore here and ignited this vehicle. They have no actual evidence of people being involved and they're apparently unaware of all the hydrogen sulfide incidents that have been plaguing Australia (and other areas around the planet), else they would not be so quick to make assumptions. But then, competent investigators don't start with any assumptions at all...

Quote: "Employees of the Fleet Management Division tell WHNT News 19 they heard a loud boom shortly after 11 AM and immediately left the building. A crowd gathered at the fence as fire crews fought the blaze, which began in one sanitation truck and spread to two others."

http://brick.shorebeat.com/2014/10/boat-fire-extinguished-at-traders-cove-marina/
Note: Just some more piles of parked vehicles burning up. All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time. It's no big deal if a few dozen motorcycles or some yachts go up in flames, but garbage trucks, that's a different matter. This has been happening steadily for a while now, with multiple parked police cars, garbage trucks, fire engines, parking lots of cars, etc. Eventually this problem will go away...because there won't be any vehicles left that haven't burned. I doubt we're going to enjoy that very much. We could postpone the misery if people would park vehicles away from each other and away from anything they don't want to see destroyed by fire, but that ain't happening, so we'll all be buried in trash and starving much sooner than is necessary...

2014-10-26 - Woman goes to relax at backyard campfire at home at 5 AM, clothes ignite, in Fishkill (New York), woman killed:
http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/story/news/local/2014/10/26/fishkill-glenham-campfire-accident/17971739/
Note: Numerous people have died while burning brush, a lot of bonfires have exploded and burned people, gas grills have exploded, yada yada. As the atmosphere is increasingly contaminated by flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide, clothes are being contaminated, making it much more likely for people to burn to death when their clothes ignite. And these are invisible clouds of flammable gas, so nobody will see it coming, and if you're outdoors and there's an open flame then very bad things can happen, especially in the wee hours...

http://fox2now.com/2014/10/26/two-adults-two-children-trapped-in-sunday-morning-fire/
Note: Porches and decks and fences are often made of wood and use steel nails or bolts, which rust, which means there's rusty iron/steel right next to flammable wood, and they're outdoors, fully exposed to the atmosphere. That will be the originating point for a whole lot of house fires. If the wood is treated or painted then it will be less vulnerable and if you use those coated rust-proof screws then they'll be significantly less vulnerable to the problem...

http://www.krcrtv.com/news/local/fire-damages-home-in-chicos-campus-neighborhood/29351058
Quote: "Fickert said the cause of the fire has not been determined as of 11 a.m., but mentioned that there have been a rash of couch fires on the south campus area. 'We don't know where it was ignited first, but its not a good idea to have combustibles on a porch.'"
Note: I bet all the couches that have ignited were upholstered and contained some rusty iron/steel and I bet most or all of those fires also occurred in the wee hours. If you leave any upholstered furniture on a porch or deck then don't be surprised if that furniture spontaneously ignites and burns your house down...
2014-10-26 - Deck bursts into flame at 4:37 AM, fire spreads to apartment building, in Monticello (Indiana), 14 homeless:
http://www.jconline.com/story/news/2014/10/26/apartment-fire-leaves-homeless-monticello/17967893/
Quote: "A resident in apartment 202 told investigators she heard a crackling sound and smelled smoke, then found a fire on the deck, according to Hickman. The White County 911 center received a call at 4:37 a.m. Firefighters arrived five minutes later to find flames were shooting through the roof, Hickman said."
Note: Was the deck made of wood, held together with steel nails? I bet it was. This place is called Beachwood Apartments and it's located on a peninsula surrounded on three sides by the Tippecanoe River. 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...

http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/davidson/2014/10/26/music-row-building-catches-fire/17958423/
Note: This place was just hit by a huge fire in September, mentioned in the 2014-09-23 update. That keeps happening, buildings burning multiple times. The reason is that whatever vulnerability the building had to the atmospheric contamination problem that caused the first fire is not addressed merely by the building burning and the fire being put out. In fact, that will tend to make buildings even MORE vulnerable, so they burn again. Eventually they burn so hard that there's nothing left that CAN burn and then the problem is 'solved', if you want to look at complete destruction as a 'solution'...

Note: Their English translation is lacking, but they mention a mysterious fire, water wells, say methane may be the cause and also mention the presence of a CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) team. Hmmm, wonder what happened. Did the wells burst into flame? That's what it sounds like, and it's gotta be frightening when your water supply ignites. I wish I hadn't forgotten 95% of the Turkish I once knew...

2014-10-24 - Underground carpark erupts in flame, 50 cars destroyed, in Paris (France):
http://eurosprinkler.org/another-major-car-park-fire-in-paris/
Quote: "At about 11:00 on 22nd October the Paris Fire Brigade was called to a fire in an underground car park. Over 80 fire-fighters attended the fire in the ninth arrondissement on the Boulevard des Capucines. According to Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Bernès of the Paris Fire Brigade, the fire began on the fourth level of the seven storey Edouard VII car park behind the famous L’Olympia theatre. 50 cars were destroyed and the busy road was closed for hours while part of the centre of Paris was affected by thick, choking smoke."
Quote: "There are many large, underground car parks in the centres of French cities and in recent years there have been a series of major fires."
Note: Just like all the recycling facilities going up in flames in recent years, and all the underground electrical explosions and fires hitting cities in recent years, and all the scrap metal businesses burning in recent years, and all the noxious odors of unknown origin hitting places randomly in recent years, and all the methane belching from the oceans and the ground in recent years. It's all the same problem and it's gotten really bad in recent years. (But it'll get waaaay worse!)

2014-10-23 - Kiln bursts into flame at 1 AM inside vacant metal business in coastal Brooklyn (New York), 7 firefighters injured:
http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Brooklyn-East-New-York-Factory-Fire-HAZMAT-Firefighters-Chemical-Exposure-280157322.html
http://7online.com/news/7-firefighters-injured-while-fighting-factory-fire-in-brooklyn/362387/
Quote: "It is not yet clear what substance the firefighters may have been exposed to. It is also unknown what sparked the blaze in the abandoned building that at one time housed a company named Belmont Metals."
Note: I bet some hydrogen sulfide found some metal in that kiln, and a fire broke out. Then the fumes from that fire would have contained any hydrogen sulfide that didn't burn off, plus who knows what else, and that sickened those firefighters. They're lucky they're even still alive...

2014-10-23 - Airport terminal building hit by fire at airport in coastal Lagos (Nigeria), people freak out:

http://dailyindependentnig.com/2014/10/panic-fire-breaks-lagos-airport/
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/10/pandemonium-fire-guts-mmia-terminal-building/
Note: The last major airport fire was earlier this month when 12 airplanes, 3 vehicles and a hangar were destroyed by fire at an airport near Camas (Washington), mentioned in the 2014-10-06 update. Nobody was in the hangar, it just spontaneously combusted. This Lagos fire, like many, was blamed on 'electrical short circuit'. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper (and other metals), especially electrified copper, so electrical stuff is sparking and starting fires all over the place. Same thing with both fire problems with the Boeing Dreamliners, same problem with all the underground electrical fires and explosions, same problem with many of the vehicle fires, same problem with many house and business fires. Any electrified copper that's not protected from the atmosphere is now a fire risk. This one sub-problem all by itself is probably plenty sufficient to wipe out human civilization as we know it. No need to wait for an EMP to wipe out the grid in a localized area. The atmospheric contamination problem will wipe out the grid everywhere on the planet, though it is happening progressively over time, not instantly...

Quote: "He was preparing materials for his hookah pipe when 'something ignited and caused a flash fire,' a police source said."
Quote: "The victim was injured in the fire inside a basement on McDonald Avenue in the Midwood section just before 1:40 p.m."
Quote: "Witnesses said he ran across the street, completely ablaze, before several Good Samaritans jumped in to lend a life-saving hand. The man's clothing was literally burned off his body..."
Note: Apparently he was using acetone so there were flammable vapors in the air. This sounds like the work of the Ghostly Match, and isn't much different from the various people who've been burned or killed while refueling vehicles, applying flooring chemicals, etc. You won't see it coming until it's too late, just like this man...

Note: Yikes, gettin' close to my house there, about a mile away. Not surprised though: lotsa bad stuff's been happening in my area, but then that's true of most or all areas by now. But just in this area, that I can recall off-hand, a transit bus burst into flame in Maplewood, a 28-year-old woman dropped dead in her home near a creek, a naked guy danced along the highway and climbed on cars on I-44 near the same creek as the dead woman, an auto salvage yard went up in flames, some underground fires broke out near the Mississippi River, a car burst into flame at a mall, the Edward Jones Dome was evacuated because of a noxious odor that originated outdoors one day after I smelled the sickly-sweet/flowery scent of medium-high concentration hydrogen sulfide in the wee hours, a big warehouse went up in flames at the riverfront, a tractor trailer crashed and burned on a Mississippi River bridge, a vacant house exploded and burned, two small planes crashed, and three of my friends, all in their early 40s, dropped dead at their respective homes (one in bed, one in backyard, one in the shower). And I know I'm forgetting a ton of stuff - that's just what I recall without even looking!

Quote: "Witnesses say it looked like the driver couldn't stop the car she ended up pulling into a nearby parking lot and smashing up against a fence. No word on what caused the car to catch fire. The driver did not seem to be injured. We're told she was the only one in the car. Donald Pernitez saw it all happen. He says, 'I spoke to her. She told me that it was out of brakes. There were a lot of students, but still she didn't hurt anybody. It was amazing.'"
Note: Brakes must have ignited. That problem mainly hits massive vehicles - buses, big rigs, motorhomes, etc - but no vehicle is immune...

Note: They only think it's arson because there were multiple points of ignition. That doesn't matter anymore. A cloud of gas can ignite multiple fires. I bet if they really looked then they would find that there was some rusty iron/steel or electrified copper at every one of those points. Eventually the clouds of flammable hydrogen sulfide and/or methane will be so big and so concentrated that there will be tens of thousands of points of origin and cities will burn nonstop. I can see the headlines now: 'Boston destroyed by suspected arsonists at 3 AM!' Actually, I don't know if there will still be any people left alive by the time things have gotten that bad. Time will tell...

Quote: "The incident was reported at 10.30pm yesterday and was caused by a fault on an underground electrical junction box. It is also thought to have caused some damage to the pavement. A total of 23 properties lost power initially as a result of the explosion, but power was restored to all homes in stages between 3.30am and 4.30am today."

http://wnep.com/2014/10/21/dep-to-investigate-coal-waste-fire/
Quote: "This all started with an odor neighbors have smelled, at times, for months. 'I was very worried and concerned and we were scared about the odor, too, because I have children,' said Lorie Bonczaiewicz. Bonczaiewicz is glad seeing all the activity to put out the fire, but nervous, too. This is a lot bigger than what she expected when she saw some smoke coming from the ground the past week or so after smelling that odor for a while. 'For about a year we were smelling an odor. It was like sulfur or something more than that. It was off and on so we notified the borough.'"
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas so it tends to seek out low-lying areas, like underground facilities. It's also highly flammable and reactive with numerous materials, including rusty iron/steel and electrified copper. As a consequence, as the atmosphere is increasingly contaminated there have been increasing numbers of underground explosions and fires, often electrical but not always. There will be many more underground explosions and fires as time goes on. The upward trend in such events is already very obvious...

http://www.fox4beaumont.com/community/features/community-news/stories/pilot-injured-plane-catches-fire-crashes-after-leaving-jasper-airport-280.shtml
Quote: "A witness said the plane was engulfed in flames as it circled the pasture, according to the DPS report. The witness said Crawford crawled out of the plane's wreckage, and rolled to extinguish the flames on his clothes. The report stated that Crawford suffered severe burns to his upper body."
Quote: "Alan Richard Crawford, who lives at Lake Buchanan, northwest of Austin, had attended an air race in Jasper and was headed home in his 2008 Lancair Legacy single engine aircraft, when he radioed fellow pilots shortly after his departure from Jasper County Bell Field and told them that his aircraft was on fire and he was going down."
Note: And yet another plane comes down burning or smoking. At least when your car bursts into flame, you can (maybe) just pull over, if your brakes are still functioning and your power locks/windows still work. Obviously that's not so easy when it's your plane that bursts into flame...

Quote: "Officials say emergency crews recovered pieces of a container that contained a mixture of hydrochloric, nitric and sulfuric acids."
Note: There've been a number of unusual explosions and fires involving nitric acid in the last couple of years or so, and some mysterious fires in chemistry departments during off-hours at universities too. Hydrogen sulfide gas is explosively reactive if it comes into contact with nitric acid. I've warned about this problem before. If people don't take the problem seriously then students are going to end up getting their faces burned off, or worse. Windows open? Building ventilation system pulling in outside air?

Both incidents happened just before 9pm and took them about 15 minutes to deal with. One of the fires involved a car on the A52 at Saxondale Roundabout the other was on the A52 at Stragglethorpe."
Note: That's no coincidence. It'll be interesting to see what they say when it's TWENTY cars that burst into flame at the same time on the same highway in the same area. Packs of invisible arsonists with bionic legs running around on the highways torching peoples' cars? Heh, maybe I shouldn't give them any ideas for excuses...

2014-10-17 - Three police cruisers destroyed by fire in the wee hours while parked at station in Thetford (Vermont):

http://www.vnews.com/news/13975793-95/thetford-board-police-coverage-will-continue-as-before
Quote: "Three cruisers belonging to the small police department serving Thetford, Vermont were destroyed in an early-morning fire Friday, Vermont State Police investigators said. The three vehicles made up the police department's entire fleet..."
Quote: "Robinson knows what it's like to lose his whole fleet to fire. Norwich's three cruisers were destroyed Thanksgiving Day in 2012 in a blaze that was ruled not suspicious. No exact cause was determined there, but many assumed a mechanical or electrical failure ignited one parked car, with flames then spreading to other vehicles. 'I'm not thinking it's a coincidence, but I'll reserve my judgment until I hear the report from the fire investigators,' Robinson told NECN, referring to the loss of two police fleets to fires in neighboring towns. 'But if you ask me, it's too big a coincidence.'"
Note: The same exact thing happened in Norwich (Vermont) in late 2012, mentioned in the 2012-11-22 update. In that incident, they first said it was arson and that an accelerant was used. Then they backtracked and said it was accidental, probably after reviewing surveillance footage that showed one car spontaneously igniting and burning the other two vehicles. They were correct about an accelerant though - both methane and hydrogen sulfide, being highly flammable, are accelerants. And he's right about this being no coincidence, that it happened in this town too. The atmosphere is being progressively contaminated by hydrogen sulfide and methane, so as time goes on and more and more vehicles spontaneously ignite, some will be police vehicles, as they're not immune to the problem. And if they keep parking their cruisers right next to each other then this same thing will happen again and again until A) they run out of cars or money to buy more; or B) they react intelligently to the problem; or C) everyone is dead, whichever comes first...
