http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/london-power-cut-amazing-images-show-effects-of-blackout-in-capital-after-underground-fire-in-holborn-10150310.html

Quote: "More than 2,000 people were evacuated from buildings in central London this afternoon as toxic smoke filled the streets. The Metropolitan Police declared a 'major incident' after blocks housing businesses and part of the London School of Economics were cleared by the emergency services."

Quote: "Earlier, onlookers reported struggling to breathe and 'chaos' in and around Holborn."

Quote: "Amazing photographs have captured how huge swathes of central London were plunged into darkness due to a major underground fire. An incredible aerial shot taken from the London Eye shows the area affected by the power cut almost completely blacked out after the blaze in Holborn."

Note: Last I looked, this fire was still burning 24 hours after it began. The pic of the blacked out area is in the last link. Also see the car that burst into flame on the A118 in the Stratford area in London on this day. A van just exploded and burned at 5:30 AM in the Rotherhithe area in London the other day too, mentioned in the 2015-03-27 update...

Quote: "A witness to the Finsbury Park fire tweeted: 'So massive fires under the pavement in Holborn AND on my boyfriend's street in Finsbury Park. What's going on?' Another person wrote: 'So - there's a fire going on 5-mins from my work in Holborn AND 5-mins from my flat in Finsbury Park. Hmmm...'"

Quote: "The fire brigade said the fire was not related to the underground blaze in Holborn earlier on the same day."

Note: Suuuuure, just another one of those huge honkin' coincidences. *cough cough*

2015-04-01 - Deck bursts into flame at 5:30 AM, fire spreads to apartment building, in Winnipeg (Canada):
http://globalnews.ca/news/1913243/apartment-block-fire-rousts-west-winnipeg-residents/
http://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/crews-battle-fire-at-west-winnipeg-condo-complex-1.2305556

Note: The apartment where the deck burst into flame was vacant. But I bet that deck either has some electrified copper on it (porch light or outlet), or the deck itself was built using something steel that's got some rust on it (nails, screws, brackets, hinges, etc). Either one of those and fire can break out at any time, like all the parked cars going up in flames: cars contain both rusty steel AND electrified copper...

2015-04-02 - Car bursts into flame while parked at Tame Valley Industrial Estate in Wilnecote (Britain):
http://www.tamworthherald.co.uk/Car-Tame-Valley-Industrial-Estate/story-26273418-detail/story.html

Quote: "The car, parked near Unite 3 Claymore, was 'well alight' and one crew from Tamworth are currently at the scene."

Note: More cars are bursting into flame generally. Since most cars spend most of their time parked, that means that more parked cars are spontaneously igniting. Many people have lost their homes, businesses and lives this way and many more certainly will because people are ignoring the problem. Unfortunately, ignoring problems doesn't make them magically disappear, and people who ignore this problem are going to get burned, definitely metaphorically and possibly literally too. Park a vehicle near anything you don't want to see burning at your own risk...

Quote: "The cause of the largest structure fire ever in Jefferson County, which turned into a six-alarm fire and drew around 200 firefighters from all suburban departments, may not be know for weeks. But the fallout was incalculable."

Quote: "About 3,000 GE production employees now working at Appliance Park were told to stay home for at least the next week — and about 3,000 salaried workers were told they'd be updated about their schedule on Monday."

Quote: "GE spokeswoman Kim Freeman said there were no known injuries. She said the building engulfed in flames was used for offices and storage, and is also used by a private supplier distribution center."

Note: I saw some semi trailers in some of the pics and videos, and there was a distribution center here, so I imagine there were some tractor trailers around here somewhere...

http://salina.com/news/skid-steer-loader-destroyed-by-fire/article_b7d161d9-e842-526c-b3ef-a82605ad2641.html

Quote: "In February, the skid-steer loader Daniel Lewick was operating in rural Saline County caught fire, and the $70,000 piece of equipment was destroyed. Thursday afternoon, the new piece of equipment purchased to replace that loader also was destroyed by fire while Lewick was using it, Sheriff Glen Kochanowski said. Kochanowski said Lewick was using the loader to push logs into a pile near the intersection of Girard and Shipton roads at about 4 p.m. when he heard a pop and looked back to see the engine of the loader on fire."

Note: So his skid steer burst into flame in February, then he got a new one, and now that one just burst into flame too. His insurance company might want to just open an account at the local skid steer store...

2015-04-03 - Storage facility hit by fire, ten units destroyed, dozens damaged, in Auburn (Washington), near the coast:
http://q13fox.com/2015/04/03/fire-sweeps-through-storage-facility-in-auburn-10-units-heavily-damaged/
http://www.kirotv.com/news/news/firefighters-work-storage-complex-fire/nkmnB/

Quote: "After 4 p.m., a customer was storing his truck at the facility when he reported seeing smoke coming from one of the buildings."

Note: Someone probably had a vehicle of some type in one of the units: motorcycle, lawnmower, etc. Or some rusty iron. Or electrified copper. All it takes is for ONE unit to contain such a thing and MANY units can get burned up. Just like the parking lot fires - one vehicle ignites and the fire spreads to other vehicles...

http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/malaysia-helicopter-crash-former-minister-jamaluddin-jarjis-killed/story-fnizu68q-1227291611539

Quote: "The moment I looked up, it exploded and I saw pieces of the helicopter fall to the ground. Then, there was a bigger explosion. It was louder..."

Quote: "A helicopter crashed outside Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, killing all six people on board, including a Malaysian lawmaker who was a former ambassador to the United States, officials said."

Quote: "Selangor police chief Senior Deputy Comm Datuk Abdul Samah Mat said the pilot of the helicopter had informed the Air Traffic Control (ATC) in Subang of seeing the AS365 Dauphin 2 explode in mid-air at about 5pm."

Note: That certainly gives credence to the eyewitness reports that the Germanwings plane that crashed in France was smoking and broke apart with an explosion shortly before it hit the mountain. Also sounds similar to the 'flash of light' that knocked a helicopter out of the sky and killed both occupants in Oklahoma City (Oklahoma), mentioned in the 2013-03-13 update. Smoke in the cabin just sent a passenger plane to an emergency landing the day prior too, in Charleston (West Virginia), mentioned in the 2015-04-03 update. This is the 39th aircraft to smoke or burn in 2015...

2015-04-04 - Underground explosions may have been caused by hydrogen sulfide in Montclair (New Jersey):
http://www.northjersey.com/community-news/2.4225/big-bang-theories-1.1302877

Quote: "Sewer gas was detected in some of the affected manholes and may be attributed as a cause, Puliti stated, though she added that nothing is known for certain. After multiple inspections, there were no readings of natural gas found in or near any of the manholes, noted Puliti."

Note: Sewer gas is the common name for hydrogen sulfide. So hydrogen sulfide was detected in some of these manholes. Yeah, where'd that come from? These were electrical facilities - they don't put electrical facilities in sewers. Soooo...

http://www.scrippsmedia.com/ktnv/breaking-news/Two-children-die-from-vehicle-fire-in-east-valley-298695791.html

Quote: "Two small children died Saturday evening in a minivan fire at an apartment complex in the east Las Vegas Valley. Police responded to reports of a burning vehicle at 5:55 p.m. at the Arcadia Palms Apartments, 3655 E. Sahara Ave., near U.S. 95."

Note: Did a kid start the fire? I dunno, wasn't there. (Clever way to make this story go away though, blaming a child, but without any charges.) This could be a case where there are multiple factors at play. Like the people burning to death when their CLOTHES ignite while cooking or at firepits and whatnot - what if the upholstery in that car had adsorbed some methane and/or hydrogen sulfide? Then once ignited, it would burn fast and fierce and such fires are not apt to be survivable...

2015-04-04 - Woman burns to death in burning car in Northern Gully (Australia):

Quote: "A driver has died after their car veered off a West Australian road and set the surrounding bush alight. Police say flames engulfed the car, which was travelling at low speed before it came to rest in bush in Northern Gully on Saturday afternoon."

Quote: "The death is not included in the Easter road toll because it happened on the side of the road, a police spokesman told AAP on Sunday."

Note: Low speed, so why didn't she just get out? She was probably unconscious or already dead...

2015-04-04 - Man, 39, found burned to death on couch in apartment in coastal Dubai (UAE):
http://www.emirates247.com/news/emirates/indian-businessman-found-dead-in-apartment-2015-04-05-1.586384

Note: Similar to the kids that burned to death in the car. I bet this guy had some AC running and over time his couch (and other similar adsorbent materials) had adsorbed some methane or hydrogen sulfide that got sucked in via his AC or got in through an open window. Then all it takes is a spark, even from static electricity as you sit down, and you're history. Dubai is where one of the tallest residential high-rises in the world recently burned in a huge fire, mentioned in the 2015-02-20 update...

Note: The situation is not looking too good for London! They've still got road restrictions going on there from that massive underground fire they just had in London that burned for two days...

She opened the door to find more smoke, and flames on the back porch."

Quote: "The town’s highway garage was left without power this weekend after a fire broke out in the building and damaged several town vehicles. Capt. William Sestito of the Scituate Fire Department said the fire was reported around 1:45 p.m. Saturday by a passerby who thought it was a brush fire. Instead, firefighters found that a truck had caught fire inside the building. 'It’s a burden on everyone,” Sestito said. “That’s where police and fire get fuel and the power’s been cut.'"

http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/news/local/article_904c83e2-dccc-11e4-98a2-8f4806b57dcb.html

Quote: "Flames spread from a car to a nearby home early Sunday morning on South Padre Island, forcing residents to jump out the windows to escape, according to police. The Port Isabel, Brownsville and South Padre Island fire departments responded to the blaze at about 4 a.m. Sunday on the 100 block of East Saturn Lane."

Note: In separate incidents, four people were found dead on South Padre Island between March 18 and March 25. Right next to the Gulf of Mexico, North America's sewer, so one would expect people to be dropping dead and cars to be spontaneously igniting here. 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: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper. Eventually this one problem will wipe out the grid and the world will be plunged into darkness. This is the same problem that's causing underground fires and explosions and it's also causing parked vehicles to burst into flame, at least much of the time. (The other ignition source is hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with rust.) Some of these major grid-related fires are taking out electricity for days at a time, so it'd be wise to keep some flashlights and solar chargers and stuff handy...

http://rt.com/news/247493-nuclear-submarine-fire-russia/
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32202771

Note: Oh, I'm sure there was some welding going on. What do welders use regularly in the performance of their job? Fire! Increasingly flammable atmosphere, more welding-related fires, simple as that. What were the methane and hydrogen sulfide levels on the coast there? Had any adsorbed onto the steel or other materials in that sub? Nobody is checking. If you're damned sure you're not looking for something, there's a very good chance you won't see it.

Here are submarine fire incidents from the recent past, and the date is the event update in which that event was listed:

2014-03-17 - Decommissioned nuclear submarine 'Krasnodar' bursts into flame at shipyard in coastal Murmansk (Russia):

2014-02-27 - Australian submarine 'HMAS Waller' bursts into flame off the WA coast (Australia):

This list is just submarine fires, and includes none of the aircraft carrier fires or exploding cargo ships or deadly ferry boat fires or yachts burning and whatnot. So this makes at least the eighth submarine to burn in less than two years. No idea how many submarines there are in the world currently, but eventually there will be none, or at least none made of steel or that use electrified copper...

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/body-israeli-girl-found-thai-boat-catches-fire-30172058

Quote: "A search team on Thursday found the body of a 12-year-old Israeli girl, the only fatality from a tourist boat that caught fire in the Andaman Sea off the country's southwest, Thai officials said."

Quote: "The fire burned the ferry to the waterline, after which it sank."

Note: A twelve-year-old Israeli girl on her Bat Mitzvah trip was the fatality. Also see the woman who dropped dead in a hotel in coastal Phuket. Here are the other ferry ship fires in 2015 so far, with the date being the event update in which that event was listed:

2015-03-28 - Ferry ship 'Leonora Christina' hit by fire en route to coastal Rønne (Norway)

2015-03-23 - Ferry boat 'Highspeed 5' bursts into flame in coastal Drapetsona (Greece), 1 killed

2015-01-28 - Ferry ship 'Ullensvang' bursts into flame near coastal Hareid (Norway)

Note: So March was pretty bad in terms of ferry ship fires, with five. 'Only' one in February and one in January. There was one in late December 2014 too, which killed over a dozen people near Greece, mentioned in the 2014-12-28 update. Ships are just another kind of vehicle, and all vehicles are going up in flames, so it'd be odd if ships weren't burning too, but they are...

Note: These are the 301st and 302nd boats or ships to burn in 2015...

2015-04-08 - Garage explodes and burns at duplex, fire spreads to duplex, in Springfield (Oregon):
http://registerguard.com/rg/news/local/32957960-75/duplex-fire-in-springfield-starts-in-garage-all-occupants-got-out-safely.html.csp

Quote: "Jerry Huffman was sitting on his front porch in Springfield this afternoon when he heard an explosion across the street. A resident of his Forsythia Street home since 1980, he ran across to see what had happened at the blue duplex nearby. A retired firefighter, Huffman grabbed his fire extinguisher. As he reached his neighbors’ residence, he said, flames came pouring out of the attached garage. 'When I went over there, the top of the garage door was bent down, and the flames were coming out,' Huffman said. 'I grabbed the water hose and my fire extinguisher. But then the second explosion went off. It blew me clear out to the sidewalk. So then I hit it with my fire extinguisher and almost knocked it down. But then it came back. And after the (garage) door was gone, there was no hope.'"

Note: This guy is kinda awesome, jumped into action after the first explosion, got knocked back by a second explosion, kept on going. I wanna live next to a retired firefighter like him! (I live next to two lawyers - yeah, sue the pants off that explosion!) This is the 148th residential explosion in 2015...

http://www.sott.net/article/295052-US-Mystery-explosion-shook-the-night-for-residents-of-Sioux-Falls

Quote: "Sioux Falls Police are investigating sounds of a loud explosion. The department received 17 calls from the area of 9th Street and Valley View Road near Hayward Elementary School in northwest Sioux Falls. Homeowners say an explosion of some kind caused houses to shake. Several officers throughout the city also reported hearing the sound. Authorities have not been able to locate the source of the noise. No property damage or injuries have been reported."

Note: Apparently they're going with 'pop bottle explosion' as the cause. LMAO, pop bottle explosions don't shake homes like that, across such a distance. If they did then Timothy McVeigh would have used 5 pop bottles instead of a truckload of fertilizer. People should be offended that they think people are dumb enough to buy that excuse...

2015-04-11 - In separate incidents, two parked cars and a vacant home burst into flame, and pickup hits Walgreens, in Richmond (Indiana):
http://www.pal-item.com/story/news/local/2015/04/11/house-car-fires-accident-keep-firefighters-go/25640355/

Quote: "Efforts by fire teams to contain the blaze in port proved futile and, amid fears it might sink and pose a hazard to other ships, two tugs were brought in to remove it. The fire continued well into yesterday when the stricken ship was 30 miles south-east of the island and there are fears that it might not burn itself out for several days, causing serious pollution. Experts have criticised the decision not to sink it immediately in deep waters as soon as it was safely out of the busy port."

Note: Five cars, five times the chance that one of them spontaneously ignites and burns the others too. 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...
