Event Update For 2014-12-22

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.

http://www.wesh.com/news/30354196

Quote: "The driver of the Mercury, he said, 'must have been having some type of medical emergency. He zoned out and started drifting from the far right lane to the left lane and crossed the median and struck a work truck.' The scene was chaotic as the flames engulfed the two vehicles and briefly set nearby electrical wires on fire, Chaffin said."

http://thenewsherald.com/articles/2014/12/22/news/doc5498a927e73d6441969557.txt

Note: People are having 'medical events', seizures, falling unconscious or flat-out dying while driving. Obviously, that's going to result in some serious vehicular accidents. This problem is going to get much worse as time goes on and increasing numbers of drivers are incapacitated or slump over dead at the wheel...

2014-12-22 - Fire-related deaths climb to three-year high in South Carolina:
http://www.thestate.com/2014/12/22/3889251_fire-deaths-at-3-year-high-officials.html?sp=/99/132/154/&rh=1

Quote: "But a one-week span from Dec. 13 to Saturday has proven to be among the most deadly so far with 12 deaths, including nine on Saturday. State Fire Marshal Robert Polk said it was an anomaly to have so many people die within one day as a result of separate residential fires. 'In recent history, no one can recall nine confirmed civilian fire fatalities in one day,' Polk said."

Note: In the December 11 update, I said this: "Keep an eye on house fires too - the body counts have been climbing, 4 dead here, 5 dead there, etc." People won't even be aware when their homes adsorb some hydrogen sulfide and methane onto stuff: wood, paper, cloth, rugs, bricks, etc. Eventually a fire breaks out and then any hydrogen sulfide present will get into the smoke, at least sometimes, and that will knock people unconscious (or dead), so they can't escape the fire when otherwise they might have. And the fires will also burn hotter and spread much faster, lowering the odds of survival even more. Add all that up and there will be more people dying as homes burn, and we are seeing that...
