2015-02-01 - Fire station explodes and burns, five fire trucks destroyed, in Ten Sleep (Wyoming), nobody there:

Quote: "The first engine from Worland arrived at 7:13 p.m., about 30 minutes after the initial call came in."
Quote: "The firehouse exploded a little before 7 p.m., after snow from the roof frayed a propane line, causing gas to slowly fill the building’s interior."
Note: And they could tell that from a pile of rubble that had exploded and then burned for 30 minutes? Riiiiight. How do they know an explosion didn't occur and that severed the line? How do they know that the same thing that's caused vacant homes with no gas service, electricity OR propane to explode didn't cause THIS explosion too? They don't. What were the methane and hydrogen sulfide levels in the ground and in the air at the time of the explosion? What, nobody even checked?! If they never check then they can't ever rule it out as a primary cause or a contributing factor. They say ignorance is bliss. If that's true then these folks must be leading extraordinarily blissful lives!

2015-02-01 - String of multiple almost simultaneous fires erupt in the wee hours, officials baffled, in Gary (Indiana):
http://abc7chicago.com/news/string-of-structure-fires-baffle-officials-in-gary-ind/499153/
Quote: "A string of structure fires in Gary, Ind. has authorities baffled Saturday night. One Gary official describes them as 'multiple and almost simultaneous.' Fire engulfed a house in the 3600-block of Colfax around 1:30 Saturday morning. Then more calls came in."
Note: As the atmospheric contamination intensifies, the number, size and concentration of clouds of methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in the atmosphere is growing. When a biggish cloud blows through, you'd expect to see multiple almost simultaneous fires breaking out like this. And 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.watoday.com.au/wa-news/two-dead-after-morley-galleria-shopping-centre-explosion-20150203-134rt1.html
Quote: "The cause of the explosion is unknown but lightning from a severe electrical storm has been ruled out."
Quote: "A second person has died after a transformer exploded at a Perth shopping centre causing a fire. A witness has told how she saw four people 'burning from head to toe' as they fled the Galleria Shopping Centre at Morley just before 10am."
Note: Not looking good! Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas, so it will seep into underground areas and cause fires and explosions. It's also reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and that's causing fires and explosions involving electrified copper, like parked vehicles and porch lights and such igniting. The most devastating underground fire/explosion event so far was when the sewer system exploded and burned at midnight in Kaohsiung on the island of Taiwan, tearing apart entire streets and killing at least 24 people and injuring at least 270 people, mentioned in the 2014-07-31 update...

Quote: "The mine's production declined in the 1950s and it employed fewer than 600 people by the time it closed in 1966."
Note: So 49 years after the mine closed, the coal ignited. How did it ignite? They probably left some old mine tracks and stuff down there. In other words, rusty iron/steel. Hydrogen sulfide, which is a heavier-than-air gas, is reactive with rusty iron/steel, no other ignition source necessary. This isn't really dissimilar to all the other underground fires and explosions that have been regularly occurring around the world, especially in the last year, though some are caused by hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with copper, especially electrified copper, which is the same problem causing many parked vehicles to spontaneously ignite...

Quote: "Harry Smalley told CBC News he was jolted awake at 3:30 a.m. to the sound of popping on his property, on Hillside Road in the the Rural Municipality of Springfield."
Quote: "He said he has no idea how it could have started, as there was no heat in the barn."
Note: The popping sounds were gas plumes detonating in small explosions, firecracker-sized, and igniting anything combustible nearby, like hay or wood. Those sounds have been heard right as many fires have broken out in the last coupla three years. And when hydrogen sulfide is involved, the ignition source can be rusty iron or steel, like horseshoes, hinges, brackets, nails, pipes, etc, and most barns have some of that. 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 and/or dying more common during those hours...

Note: Methane was detected in the ground around 19 homes in 2013 in Santa Maria (California), mentioned in the 2013-01-18 update, so it may be coming up through the ground in many areas now as the methane clathrate deposits along the WEST Coast start dissociating just like those off the East Coast already are...

http://www.ashfordherald.co.uk/Early-morning-Ashford-car-caused-Mini-turned/story-25992815-detail/story.html
Quote: "Fire crews were called to a car alight early this morning in Ashford. Owners said their new Mini had been switching itself on all night outside a property in Bond Road. At 5.30am they had to call Kent Fire and Rescue after an electrical fault caused a fire under the bonnet."
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. Such fires may cause vehicles to hot wire themselves. 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. 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 and/or dying more common during those hours...

Authorities said the driver, whose name was not released, suffered burns over 80 percent of his body and was on fire when he was pulled from the inferno by three good Samaritans."

Note: They say this was caused by an accidental mixing of nitric acid with ferric chloride during unloading. Not sure I'm buying that. Neither chemical is flammable. Ferric chloride is somewhat reactive with water, but otherwise, couldn't find anything about it being a fire/explosion danger of any kind. Nitric acid, however, is explosively flammable if it comes into contact with gaseous hydrogen sulfide. A nitric acid explosion hit a cargo ship in coastal Ulsan (South Korea) in January, injuring 4 people, mentioned in the 2015-01-11 update. There have been other mysterious explosions and fires involving nitric acid too. So, maybe what happened here is, some container containing nitric acid wasn't fully sealed, and some air containing hydrogen sulfide got to it, and that caused a fire and explosion, which then burned up everything around it too, including whatever ferric chloride was there, and that caused that huge toxic cloud of who-the-f#ck-knows. I'm very suspicious now whenever nitric acid is involved and there's a big explosion or fire because in normal times that virtually never happens. Check out the pics too. Looks pretty apocalyptic there...
