Event Update For 2015-06-12





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.

Quote: "The blast also caused damage to several cars and a telephone box, while windows were smashed in nearby properties.

Quote: "In February, a car blast in the city centre shattered several windows at Malmö's Museum of Modern Art. And back in December, a series of explosions damaged buildings in the east of the city."

Quote: "Rescue spokesman Bosse Andersson said the car exploded in a roundabout near a fire station. He said that when rescuers from the fire station arrived at the scene they found the car 'severely demolished.' The cause of the blast was not immediately clear. Located on the country’s southwestern coast, Goteborg is Sweden’s second largest city."

Quote: "Few details were initially released, but police confirmed on Saturday that three people had been pronounced dead at the scene. The girl was taken to hospital where she later died."

Note: Other vehicles have exploded and burned and injured or killed people, but so far it's mostly been one person at a time dying like this. But it's random, so sometimes there will be more than one person in a vehicle when it explodes. Gettin' kinda 'splodey there on the coast in Sweden...

2015-06-12 - Second brother dies after being gassed in manhole in coastal Portmarnock (Ireland):
http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/second-man-dies-after-portmarnock-sewer-accident-681715.html
http://www.sott.net/article/297717-Two-brothers-die-after-inhaling-sewer-fumes-in-Dublin-tragedy

Note: I mentioned this incident when the first brother died, in the 2015-06-10 update. Now they're both dead. I highly doubt it was methane that killed them in that sewer manhole, though methane might have been present. It's much more likely that it was hydrogen sulfide that killed them, since methane is a lighter-than-air gas and the manhole was open, so methane would just flow right out, but hydrogen sulfide, commonly called 'sewer gas', is a heavier-than-air gas and would not escape if the manhole was open...

    Reignited: Oil depot near Kiev on fire again after massive 5-day blaze
    http://rt.com/news/267016-oil-depot-fire-kiev/

    An oil depot near Kiev caught fire again on Saturday after firefighters had contained the massive five-day blaze that claimed the lives of five people. The authorities have launched a criminal investigation against the depot operator on ecocide charges.

    The fire at the oil deport flared up again, after one of the tanks was depressurized resulting in a fuel leak, he added. [so what, exactly, caused the ignition and fire?]

  3. Hey Jonny - gettin' some rain (just nice steady soaking rain), some thunder and lightning but not high winds or hail. Hope it stays that way.

    Increase in cosmic rays
    http://www.sott.net/article/297780-Increase-in-cosmic-rays

    During the past month of low solar activity, ionizing radiation in the stratosphere has increased by 10%. This may seem counterintuitive, but there is a simple explanation: The radiation we measure is dominated by cosmic rays--a mix of subatomic particles, X-rays and gamma-rays that come from outside the solar system. Explosions on the sun (especially CMEs) tend to push these cosmic rays away from Earth. During the past month, however, there have been relatively few CMEs. Fewer CMEs means more cosmic rays.

  4. Yeah, I think that's my area! Wave after wave of heavy rain's been beating down - and looks like more for the next several days - so I was starting to wonder if we were gonna see some flooding in the area. My neighborhood won't flood - it's the highest point around. If my neighborhood floods then most of Missouri and Illinois will already have drowned or evacuated. But I bet there's some flooding a bit west of me if these rains keep hitting the area, which apparently they're going to, and I don't know what the Mississippi River level is going to be like, which is to the east. I wish I could donate the excess water here to California and Oregon. Too little there, too much here.
