Event Update For 2019-07-24





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.

2019-07-24 - Unknown rotten egg odor hits campus in coastal Coral Gables (Florida):
http://www.local10.com/news/florida/coral-gables/building-on-um-campus-evacuated-due-to-suspicious-odor
http://wsvn.com/news/local/all-clear-given-after-suspicious-smell-at-um-building-found-to-be-benign/

Quote: "Police have confirmed the smell was not a gas leak but did not release further details."

Note: By 'benign' they mean, 'we don't know what it was but it smelled like the odorant added to natural gas even though it wasn't natural gas'. So not really benign. In fact, that was probably hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean, which is poison gas. I don't consider poison gas to be 'benign', but that's just me...

2019-07-24 - Unknown odor sickens people at miniature golf course in coastal Parksville (Canada):
http://www.pqbnews.com/news/strange-smell-evacuates-parksville-mini-golf-course/

Quote: "He thought they were joking at first, but it still looked like they were in trouble, so he headed towards the little girl to try and help her. 'As soon as I took like two steps, it started affecting me… the first thing that crossed my mind was "These guys are not lying, there’s something in the air"', said Anderson. 'I turned around, I was looking at my kids, and my kids are starting to cough and choke and act funny. My littlest one, she was starting to barf...I was just like "man, we have to get out of here."'"

Quote: "Anderson has no idea what it was, but said the sensation was palpable and overwhelming. Every time he went to breathe, he couldn’t, and would start coughing."

Quote: "Paradise Mini Golf owner Susan LaFouci was there and said she smelled it as well. Although Anderson describes it as an odourless gas, LaFouci says she smelled something she can’t describe. 'It wasn’t very nice. It took your breath away,' said LaFouci."

Note: Could be that man didn't smell it because it had already paralyzed his olfactory sense - hydrogen sulfide does that. You stop being ABLE to smell it, even when it's still present. And the woman did smell it, so maybe it hadn't yet paralyzed HER olfactory sense. Right on the coast, people suddenly sickening with respiratory issues, outdoors, unknown smell...probably hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean. All of these people are lucky to still be alive. At 1 part per thousand, hydrogen sulfide can kill you with ONE BREATH, so obviously it wasn't THAT concentrated in this incident, but next time it might be. An unknown odor just sickened people at a mall the day before in coastal Honolulu (Hawaii), mentioned in the 2019-07-23 update. Here's a Google Maps link of this miniature golf course in Parksville...

http://www.myzimbabwe.co.zw/news/49378-latest-helicopter-carrying-president-catches-fire-army-and-office-of-the-president-issue-statement.html

Quote: "'While taxiing for landing at Francistown Airport, the pilots reported an engine fire indication where upon they promptly executed an engine shut down and landing on runway 13 at the airport,' said the statement, adding that the emergency response at Francistown Airport also responded to provide assistance with fire retardant foam."

Note: This is the 86th aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2019. Melania Trump's plane was hit by smoke late last year too, forcing the plane to return to Joint Base Andrews (Maryland), mentioned in the 2018-10-17 update. 'Important people' are no more likely to be spared from extinction than anyone else. In some ways they're even MORE vulnerable, especially if they're clueless about what's going on, which most seem to be...

    'This is not the wild west': Florida officials clarify stance on green iguanas, urging safety over hunting
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/not-wild-west-florida-officials-013732014.html

    The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is taking a slightly softer stance on the Sunshine State's invasive green iguana problem.

    The FWC, which encouraged residents "to kill green iguanas on their own property whenever possible" in a directive released at the start of the month, provided some additional information Thursday.

    “Unfortunately, the message has been conveyed that we are asking the public to just go out there and shoot them up," FWC Commissioner Rodney Barreto said in a statement.

    "This is not what we are about; this is not the ‘wild west.’ If you are not capable of safely removing iguanas from your property, please seek assistance from professionals who do this for a living." [more; yeah, thanks for that . ..]

    “Although she was a great swimmer, Jayla was no match for the rip current that pulled her underwater in a moment’s notice,” Robottom wrote on Monday. “Subsequently, a large wave swept her out and under deeper water. Despite a valiant effort to save her, Jayla never recovered.”

    Jayla’s death comes the same month as the death of 53-year-Old Frederick Pepperman, who died while saving his daughters from a riptide in the waters near Seacrest, Florida. [more]

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/megadroughts-plague-southwest-climate-warms-173232054.html

    Now, a study suggests that because of the drying influence of climate change, megadroughts could return to the region. [more]

    Popular climbing routes in French Alps becoming more dangerous due to climate change, say researchers
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/popular-climbing-routes-french-alps-204444018.html

    Many popular climbing routes in the French Alps have become too dangerous because climate change has increased the risk of rockfalls, according to academics who have been studying the Mont Blanc range.

    Hotter, drier weather is making mountainsides more fragile and rockfaces brittle. In Mont Blanc, climbs that were once relatively straightforward have become more challenging because of the risk of falling debris. [more]
