Event Update For 2015-04-28

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.

Note: Wow, from the pics in the first link, at least one of those buildings looks completely destroyed. So far as I know, this is the first fire to involve multiple high-rise buildings burning, so this is one of those 'marker events' that we can look back on later as more high-rises go up in flames...

2015-04-28 - Responders train for chemical attack in coastal Singapore:
http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/smoked-out-sports-hub

Quote: "More than a hundred spectators at the Singapore Sports Hub collapse in their seats as smoke fills the air. Some lie on the ground, twitching and foaming at the mouth. Others are wheezing in the stands, gasping for breath. This was the scene there last Friday night following a mock terrorist attack."

Note: Also perfect training for when a big ol' cloud of hydrogen sulfide blows ashore, like the cloud of 'toxic gas of unknown origin' that hit coastal Rayong (Thailand) in the middle of the night, sending thousands fleeing from their homes puking, mentioned in the 2014-06-08 update. The Earth seems waaaaay more likely to hit Singapore with poison gas than any terrorists, but they're not going to mention that...

Quote: "Kali ended up in the Alaska Zoo, and then the Buffalo Zoo. Now, he’s 2 and a half years old, and about 850 pounds. He’ll soon be transferred from Buffalo to the brand new McDonnell Polar Bear Point in St. Louis. The 40,000 square foot, $16 million habitat is almost finished. It will include a deep pool with underwater viewing, plus a splash pool, and rocks, boulders, grass and fallen trees for Kali to play. It’s more than twice the size of the old polar bear pits, which were built roughly a century ago."

Note: This bear's got a veritable bear mansion waiting for him!
