http://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Guardsmen-checked-out-at-hospital-after-plane-12841057.php

Quote: "Seventeen members of the Delaware Air National Guard were taken to a hospital after smoke and fumes were reported on their airplane. No one reported any serious health problems. The guardsmen were conducting medial training exercises on a C-130 Monday evening. They are medical personnel trained to go on the battlefield and transport the wounded. During the flight, crew members reported smoke and fumes inside the four-engine turboprop plane. They declared an emergency as standard procedure. The aircraft landed safely at the Delaware Air National Guard base near New Castle."

Quote: "There were three airplanes inside. The fire call came in as a rescue and flames had subsided by the time fire crews arrived. 'The fire sprinklers had activated and we did have to rescue one person, who unfortunately is deceased,' Nevada County Consolidated Fire District Fire Marshal Terry McMahon said. The fire sprinklers, along with a fire wall that split the building, saved the business next door. It was able to resume partial operations with just smoke damage. But it was the smoke that may very well have been deadly. 'Fiberglass and the upholsteries and the things that they use in them, the smoke was dark and was down low to the ground,' McMahon said."

Note: These are the 57th, 58th, 59th, 60th and 61st aircraft to smoke/burn/explode in 2018, and that makes 14 in the last week, though there were only 2 fatalities total - this hangar fatality and the woman who died when the Southwest engine exploded during a flight the other day. The deadliest plane fire this year was the military plane that burst into flame at takeoff then crashed and burned near the coast near Boufarik (Algeria), killing 257 people, which happened waaaaay back on April 11, mentioned in the 2018-04-11 update...

http://www.bellinghamherald.com/news/local/article209734234.html
http://www.discoverferndale.com/loud-explosion-rattled-many-throughout-the-county_76347/

Quote: "Plenty of theories were floated on social media Monday night and Tuesday morning about the cause of a large boom that was heard from Everson to Bellingham and west to Blaine around 7 p.m. Monday. According to reports, the boom shook houses, though no reports of damage were mentioned. As of Tuesday afternoon, the only thing known for sure was that it was loud. The cause is still a mystery."

2018-04-23 - Mysterious explosion at 4 AM alarms people and ignites brush near Plaistow and Haverhill (New Hampshire), near the coast:
http://www.eagletribune.com/news/explosion-wakes-plaistow-haverhill-residents/article_508188f9-0edc-573c-bc8b-fc2ecabcf881.html
http://twitter.com/EagleTrib/status/988420667904331782

Quote: "Firefighters were called to a neighborhood near the Haverhill border about 4 a.m. Monday after a reported explosion woke many local people. Fire officials said they arrived to the area of 54 Newton Road and saw a brush fire on the side of the road. The fire was extinguished quickly, officials said, but they're unsure of what may have caused it or the loud noise that was reported."

Quote: "Morgan said he inspected the area and could not find signs of an explosion."

Quote: "Plaistow resident Joseph Pageau said from his house he heard something 'louder than fireworks.' His house is a mile away from where firefighters responded. 'I was awake in bed and heard the explosion,' he said, 'got up and looked out the window expecting to see a fire or something.'"

Note: The explosion must have been in the atmosphere above the ground but close enough to the ground to ignite some brush without leaving any other trace of the explosion. But what could explode in the atmosphere and leave no trace? Flammable gas, either hydrogen sulfide or methane or both. 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...
