Note: These are the 518th through 550th boats or ships to burn/explode in 2015. Not looking good for boats! Not unexpected though. Boats often have electrified copper, they sometimes have rusty iron/steel AND they're usually located in low-lying areas where a heavier-than-air gas like hydrogen sulfide will tend to accumulate. Lots of dead people are being found in the water near their boats too, sometimes with their empty 'ghost boat' still running in circles. Also see the man who went missing at Lake Winnipesaukee (New Hampshire) on this day with his empty 'ghost boat' found circling, just one of many many similar events. Even if your boat doesn't burst into flame and/or explode then you might just slump over unconscious or dead and fall off of it, and if you fall into water while unconscious then you're highly likely to breathe water until dead...

One brave firefighter drove their fire engine out of the burning building and saved that, this time...

2015-06-21 - Minivan and car destroyed by fire at 3:45 AM while parked at home in coastal Babylon (New York):
http://www.newsday.com/long-island/suffolk/two-cars-destroyed-by-fire-in-babylon-1.10565214

Quote: "According to a police report, authorities received a call at 3:45 a.m. reporting that a car parked in the driveway of a home located at the West Main Street home and another on the street were fully engulfed in flames."

Quote: "Both cars were destroyed and the fires were extinguished by the Babylon Fire Department, police said. The vehicles -- a Ford Windstar and a Volkswagen Passat -- were owned by the same person, the homeowner. The fires were being investigated and the causes of the blazes were unknown."

Note: Here's a Google Maps link of the area. So they weren't right next to each other, and were probably far enough apart that one didn't ignite the other, so they BOTH ignited. That means that either it was an arsonist or (more likely in this case given the time and proximity to the coast), they both spontaneously ignited when some hydrogen sulfide found some rust and/or electrified copper on both vehicles as a cloud blew in off the ocean there. This sounds similar to an event where an SUV (rust and electrified copper) burst into flame while parked at one home at the same time that an exterior dimmer switch (electrified copper) burst into flame at the home next door, at 3:30 AM, in Stuttgart (Arkansas), mentioned in the 2013-02-05 update. This is also similar to the two boats that burst into flame within 3 minutes while docked at different marinas in coastal Washington DC, mentioned in the 2014-02-11 update. There have been other similar incidents too. Clearly these events are not mere coincidences...

Note: More parked cars exploding and/or burning. People aren't taking the problem seriously. Ergo, people are becoming homeless and sometimes dead. As time goes on, there will be much more of this. At this point it's best not to park a vehicle near anything you wouldn't want to see on fire, especially your residence, since these fires can cut off escape routes and kill you, as has happened to numerous people already...

Quote: "A fire on a music stage spread into a crowd of spectators at a party Saturday night at a Taiwan water park, injuring nearly 500 people, including 141 in serious condition, authorities said."

Note: Blamed on some kind of powder or dust. Dunno, could be, but that may not have been the ONLY factor at play here. Powder and dust is a problem because it has a lot of surface area, and both methane and hydrogen sulfide will cling to the surface of dust, any kind of dust. That means that even inflammable dust, like granite dust or iron dust, can BECOME flammable if it's contaminated. Was the dust here contaminated? There's no way to know - nobody checked. If it was stored outside, open to the air, then however flammable it may have been normally, it could easily have become extraordinarily flammable, way worse than anyone would expect.

This area is also a coastal community and this event was outdoors. Did any flammable and odorless methane blow in off the ocean during this event? No way to know - nobody is checking. Nobody would see methane, or smell it, that's certain. An outdoor venue, on the coast, with a huge fire and hundreds injured - it's suspicious. Maybe this was a bad mistake with the dust or powder, or maybe that wasn't the entirety of the problem, or maybe that wasn't the problem at all. We'll never know for sure why these people burned. Regardless, when 500+ people go up in flames at an outdoor venue near a coast, it's worth noting, so note it I do.

The biggest underground explosion/fire event to occur anywhere on the planet so far also happened in Taiwan, in late July in 2014. A series of massive underground explosions and fires blew up several streets at midnight in the port city of Kaohsiung (Taiwan), killing dozens of people and injuring hundreds, mentioned in the 2014-07-31 update. So this devastating fire in Taipei isn't even the first huge and anomalous fire event on the island in the last year. One might be a fluke. Two? Coincidence? Seems doubtful, but three will certainly be a pattern, so let's see what happens next...

Keep an eye on the wildfires as the Earth progressively burns - most of the fires are breaking out near bodies of water and/or near coastlines or in coastal states. That's not a coincidence...

2015-06-30 - Forest fire erupts in the Chernobyl exclusion zone in Ukraine:

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/06/30/forest-fire-hits-large-section-off-limits-zone-around-destroyed-chernobyl/

Quote: "It was unclear if the fire has hit parts of the zone heavily contaminated by radiation from the 1986 reactor explosion and fire, the world's worst nuclear disaster. It's the second forest fire in the area this year. A massive fire broke out some 15 to 20 kilometers from the nuclear plant on April 28. Emergency services had deployed more than 300 firefighters, three planes and one helicopter to tackle that fire, which Kyiv said was the largest in Ukraine since 1992."

Quote: "This is the second fire in the off-limits zone in three months. The forest fire in April swept through 400 hectares and was described as the first fire in the area in more than two decades."

Note: So no fires here for decades and now two major fires in less than 3 months...
