Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas

Event Update For 2013-12-29

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.

2013-12-29 - Mysterious explosion shakes homes and alarms residents in coastal Corpus Christi (Texas):

http://www.kristv.com/news/mysterious-loud-boom-rattles-rolls-most-of-city/
http://www.kiiitv.com/story/24324546/mystery-boom-sound-frightens-residents

Quote: "Reports of the boom stretch from the Rodd Field and Yorktown area to downtown and many places in between. But after an extensive search of the area, no evidence of an explosion or fire was ever found. No one knows for sure where the boom came from or what caused it."

Note: As the atmosphere has become increasingly contaminated by flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide, these mysterious explosions have been increasing in frequency. Sometimes they are accompanied by a 'flash of light'. Eventually these explosions may rival the force of the small nuclear explosion that destroyed Hiroshima, but minus the radiation. I imagine that once these explosions start wiping out large chunks of cities, the next story will be, obviously, 'terr'rists did it!' What else are they gonna say? The truth? Wouldn't count on that. Corpus Christi is right on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Another mysterious explosion shook homes in Toronto (Canada) the other day, as mentioned in the 2013-12-24 update. Toronto is located on the shore of Lake Ontario. An outdoor explosion just injured several people at a beachside resort in the Canary Islands, as mentioned in the 2013-12-28 update. There have been a great many of these mysterious explosions now...

2013-12-29 - Young mother, 18, burns to death at 1 AM on street in Motspur Park area of coastal London (Britain):

Quote: "An 18-year-old woman has died after she was discovered on fire by a level crossing in West Barnes Lane. Firefighters and police were called at 1am."

Note: A woman recently burned to death on her porch in The Woodlands (Texas) too, as mentioned in the 2013-12-12 update. A woman's hair burst into flame as she slept, in Houston (Texas), as mentioned in the 2013-11-30 update. A man woke up to his leg on fire in bed at 5:30 AM, also in Houston (Texas), as mentioned in the 2013-11-27 update. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that people are bursting into flame and sometimes burning to death at an accelerating pace, exactly as one would expect from an atmosphere increasingly contaminated by flammable methane and hydrogen sulfide...

Quote: "The man hadn’t suffered any injuries or trauma, there are no suspicious circumstances."

Note: So it was probably just the poison gas blowing around the atmosphere and knocking people dead then. What a relief...

2013-12-29 - Passenger plane lands, blows tire and crashes, in coastal Lagos (Nigeria):

http://en.starafrica.com/news/104-passengers-unhurt-as-nigeria-plane-crash-lands.html

Quote: "Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mallam Nasir Elrufai, Sunday morning cheated death as he and other passengers on board an Aero Contractor plane, survived a crash landing in Lagos. El-lrufai, who was on his way to attend Last Sunday of the year Church service at Pastor Tunde Bakare’s Latter Rain Assembly, broke the news via his Twitter handle. Nasir El-Rufai (@elrufai): 'Upon landing in Lagos, our Aero aircraft lost a tyre. The pilot did a great job of breaking to a halt suitably. My phones flew under seats, he said'."

2013-12-29 - Small plane lands, landing gear collapses, plane skids on belly, in Fresno (California):
http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=news/local&id=9374462

Quote: "They say a pilot was practicing touch and go landings in a single engine Cessna when his landing gear had a mechanical failure. It collapsed when hitting the runway, and the plane skidded to a stop on its belly."

Note: From the full hypothesis: "As planes land, they will more frequently blow tires, or their landing gear will collapse, or they will run off runways."

2013-12-29 - Van's brakes fail, van hits car, plunges down embankment, bursts into flame, in Auburn (California), 1 killed, 6 injured:
http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/dec/29/1-killed-6-injured-in-northern-calif-van-crash/

Quote: "California Highway Patrol Officer Chris Nave said people were returning from a trip to Reno on Interstate 80 Sunday when the brakes in Chevy Astro apparently gave out."

Note: Note the brake failure on the tour bus near the coast in Thailand too. Tires and brake pads are absorbing hydrogen sulfide. Then when brakes are applied, an unusual amount of heat is generated, because hydrogen sulfide burns very hot. Then bad things can happen: brakes burn out or ignite, tires explode or ignite, fluid lines rupture, the entire vehicle goes up in flames, or all of the above. This problem hits massive vehicles the worst, but no vehicle is immune. This particular vehicle was a Chevy Astro van hauling a number of people, so fairly massive. Don't count on your brakes working when you need them to work...

Quote: "A bailey bridge under construction over the Sunkoshi River on the border between Udaypur and Okhaldhunga districts collapsed on Saturday. There were, however, no casualties in the incident. The bridge is the only link connecting Khotang, Okhaldhunga and Solukhumbu. Following its collapse, hundreds of thousands of people in the three districts have been hit hard. Technicians involved in the bridge construction told the Post in the evening that the officials were not sure about the reason for the collapse as the broken parts of the bridge is under water."

Note: Two boaters just went missing at Lake Tarpon in coastal Tarpon Springs (Florida) too, as mentioned in the 2013-12-28 update. Both sets of missing boaters: in or near the Gulf of Mexico. And, say, that mysterious explosion in Corpus Christi was also on the Gulf Coast. Last link is an update on the search for the missing Lake Tarpon boaters...

Note: LMAO! That's very smart. One of them discovered a euphoric drug, of a sort, and now they're teaching each other and sharing the drug amongst themselves, like passing a bong around. They're gettin' puffed up! Spicoli would approve...

http://us.topnewstoday.org/us/article/9256604/

Quote: "Jefferson Township Police Capt. Eric Wilsusen said about 2,000 to 3,000 storage cars were located on the facility, and a couple of tire piles. About 75 percent of the junkyard caught fire, he said. Budd Lake Fire Chief Robert Sheard posted a video of the aftermath of the fire on his Facebook page at about noon Sunday. A yard full of charred cars and flames could be seen in the video."

Note: Wow, if my math is correct, that was at least 1500 vehicles burning. Oak Ridge is less than 1 mile east (downwind) of Oak Ridge Reservoir. From the full hypothesis: "Metal-related businesses will be hit hard, including salvage yards and metal recycling centers."

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/spain/10540602/British-mother-and-daughter-in-hospital-after-Tenerife-explosion.html

Quote: "The woman was taken to hospital with severe burns to her face and scalp after the blast in the Bahia Principe hotel in Playa Paraiso on the south-west coast of the island on Friday afternoon. Her daughter suffered less serious neck burns and both are believed to be receiving ongoing treatment in separate hospitals. Two other women – a 38-year-old Belgian woman and a 34-year-old Spaniard – were also treated for minor burns in hospital."

Quote: "The Bahia Principe describes itself as hotel with 'marvelous facilities, lush green gardens and infinity pool', offering an 'unforgettable vacation' and 'beautiful views of the sea and of La Gomera island'."

Quote: "The explosion took place in a metal buffet container by the pool which uses a flammable gel to keep food warm."

Note: What happens if a concentrated plume of methane blows over a flame? BOOM! This island is part of the Canary Islands, which just got hit by the biggest earthquake in that area in 40 years, as mentioned in the 2013-12-27 update. Earthquakes can disturb methane hydrates on the ocean floor, leading to methane being released. There's ongoing volcanism occurring in the Canary Islands too, and volcanism can heat up waters and melt methane hydrate deposits too. So, ongoing volcanism and an earthquake in the vicinity, then shortly later an explosion outdoors right on the beach. And nobody would smell methane, since it's odorless, and nobody would see it, because it's invisible. From the pics, this looks like a beautiful place to explode at...
