Event Update For 2014-12-08

http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html

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.

2014-12-08 - Humongous inferno destroys apartment complex under construction at 1:10 AM in coastal Los Angeles (California):

http://rt.com/usa/212403-massive-fire-downtown-la/

Quote: "A massive fire at a Los Angeles construction site the size of a city block shut down sections of two major freeways for hours early Monday. Hundreds of firefighters battled the blaze, which broke out about 1:10 a.m. PT and could be seen for miles. 'This is a historic fire, what we as firefighters would call a career fire. It's huge,' Fire Department spokesman David Ortiz told NBC News."

Note: This fire occurred after days of rain, and yet this building went up in flames incredibly fast. How can that be? Both methane and hydrogen sulfide, blowing in off the Pacific Ocean, are water-soluble. So that rain probably contained some dissolved gas in it, most likely methane since it's a lighter-than-air gas and is accumulating in the upper atmosphere where rain forms. So the rain fell and then it evaporated, leaving behind some of the methane, which will adsorb onto porous matter, like, say, WOOD. Eventually some hydrogen sulfide blew through, found some rusty iron/steel (this was a construction site), there was some sparking, a spark landed on that accelerant-soaked wood, and WHOOSH, this whole place went up in flames as if the entire gigantic structure had been doused with gasoline, which isn't all that far from the truth. From the full hypothesis: "So far as homes are concerned, vacant homes, unoccupied homes and homes under construction will burn hardest and first but the number of occupied homes burning will also be increasing."

2014-12-08 - Commercial building undergoing renovations goes up in flames at 4:09 AM in Westlake District of coastal Los Angeles (California), nobody there:

http://abc7.com/news/fire-erupts-at-commercial-building-in-westlake-district/426773/
http://www.wopular.com/crews-douse-2-large-fires-los-angeles

Quote: "The flames broke out as firefighters were battling a different blaze at an apartment complex under construction in downtown Los Angeles."

Note: Same thing here. Under renovation so construction materials were around here too. It's now a race to get buildings completed before they're destroyed by fire and/or explosions and we're increasingly losing that race...

2014-12-08 - Elevator bursts into flame at high-rise on Ocean Boulevard in coastal Long Beach (California):
http://www.presstelegram.com/general-news/20141209/fire-strikes-long-beach-highrise

Note: Also see the man found dead in the Los Angeles River near Long Beach on this day...

2014-12-08 - Vehicle bursts into flame at 3:24 AM while parked at home in coastal Eureka (California):
http://lostcoastoutpost.com/2014/dec/8/early-morning-car-fire-eureka-believed-be-suspicio/

Note: Getting burny there on the coast in California, which is not unexpected. It'll get much worse though. I don't think anyone can really imagine just how bad it will get. What if the RAIN ITSELF becomes flammable, like the methane-infused tapwater people have been reporting in recent years around the world? Then we might see huge walls of rainfire sweeping through, causing explosions and shockwaves and destroying everything in the path...
 

2014-12-08 - Home destroyed by explosion and fire in Agassiz (Canada), near the Fraser River, 2 injured:
http://www.theprogress.com/news/285116561.html

Quote: "A massive house fire that seems to have started with an explosion rocked Agassiz on Sunday night. Witnesses on the scene were first alerted to the fire by a large explosion, many of them said. The house, located at Canterbury and Sheffield, was engulfed in flames and destroyed by the fire. Neighbours watched from their driveways and the streets clogged with cars as people came to see the fire. Two people were reportedly taken to hospital for burn injuries."

2014-12-08 - Heater explodes and burns at home on George Road in Knighton (Britain), 1 killed:
http://www.countytimes.co.uk/news/141731/man-dies-after-heater-explosion.aspx
http://www.walesnews.org.uk/news/man-dies-after-heater-explosion

Note: Home is about 200 feet northeast (downwind) of Wylcwm Brook. What were the methane and hydrogen sulfide levels in the air and in the ground at the time of the explosion? Oh, nobody's even bothering to check. Well then, that can't be ruled out as a factor. If flammable gas blows onto a heat source, like a heater, then obviously there's going to be a decent chance of an explosion and fire, and if anyone's nearby then they're apt to die...

Note: Sounds like this may have been one of those incidents where a parked vehicle bursts into flame and starts itself and drives off by itself on fire. The most notable example of a fiery self-starting vehicle was when an unoccupied boat burst into flame in the middle of the night, started itself, then tore across the harbor while burning, hitting other boats, in coastal Coffs Harbour (Australia), mentioned in the 2013-05-03 update...

That equation is no longer valid on this planet and anyone who keeps thinking that it IS valid is not observing what's happening on this planet and should go find a job they can do competently...

2014-12-08 - Tractor trailer blows tire and crashes at the Ouachita River Bridge near Malvern (Arkansas):

Quote: "According to the driver, he was approaching the Ouachita River Bridge near Malvern in the right lane at about 8:54 p.m. Friday, December 5 when he lost his left drive tire, causing his rig to veer hard to the left into the guardrail and bridge."

2014-12-08 - Driver has 'medical condition', tractor trailer crashes through median, off road, into home, on I-90 near Superior (Montana), 1 killed:
http://www.kbzk.com/news/1-dead-after-semi-crashes-into-mineral-county-trailer-court/

Note: Sounds like he was probably a slumper. This stretch of I-90 runs right along the banks of the Clark Fork River...

2014-12-08 - Tractor trailer veers off road, hits trees, bursts into flame and explodes, in Morton (Missouri), 1 killed:
http://www.wapt.com/news/driver-killed-officer-injured-in-bigrig-explosion/30127952
http://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/watch/morton-big-rig-explosion/vp-981d844d-38ae-404d-ae06-6b557658b911

Quote: "Witnesses said they were behind the driver. They didn’t see the brake lights or anything. He just left the road like he was going to an exit..."

Note: Exactly as if he were unconscious or already dead. Possibly another slumper. You see that a whole lot in head-on crashes nowadays, where the person who veers into oncoming traffic is one of the fatalities or the only fatality - in at least some cases they are being struck dead while driving, and having a corpse at the wheel is what causes the crash. That's most likely to happen in the wee hours and in, near or downwind of low-lying areas...

2014-12-08 - Driver has 'medical problem', tractor trailer veers off road after 6:30 AM and overturns, in Ancaster (Canada), 1 killed:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/news/fatal-tractor-trailer-rollover-closes-section-of-the-linc-1.2864074

Quote: "Hamilton police believe a medical problem could be behind the city's 17th traffic fatality for 2014."

Note: Gonna run out of truck drivers pretty fast at this rate. But we'll be running out of trucks for them to drive too. And people generally are dying off, so there'll be less demand for stuff to be shipped in trucks too. So it all works out!
