NEW DELHI — An eight-story building in Bangladesh that housed several garment factories collapsed on Wednesday morning, killing at least 70 people, injuring hundreds of others, and leaving an unknown number of people trapped in the rubble, according to Bangladeshi officials and media outlets.... http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/25/world/asia/bangladesh-building-co...

 

So much happening under our feet.  Daily collapses of roadways due to the severe bow stretch, severe rains, crunching and land subduction all predicted in Zetatalk and all happening now.  Last week in Utah a fatal road collapse killed a 14 year old girl and injured 2.  It's painful to watch the planet crumble but we all knew it was coming.

Buildings collapsing.........a daily happening too.  With responses about what's causing all these happenings ranging from, rain, human error, poorly constructed, yada yada.....BUT, that's not going to fly with people much longer.  As soon as Planet X peers out at us from the sky, people will remember all the things that have happened up to this point and finally somehow, they will connect the dots.  Some will be in extreme denial, others will be so afraid and look for someone to take care of them, and still others will stand up and be counted and prepare as best we could.  There's no wishing this away, there's only pushing forward to a better tomorrow.  While our infrastructure crumbles around us we need to learn to be more careful, tread softly, kiss your kids, love with all your heart.  We are IN IT NOW.

I live in a house built in 1850 and it isn't falling down.  Age does not mean collapse. 

100-year-old building partially collapses in Malone

By: Rachael Paradis

A building in Malone that has been standing for more than a century will no longer be a sight in the town. The building on Route 11, well known to many in the community, collapsed overnight. While no one was injured, our Rachael Paradis tells us why the town is in a rush to tear it down.


MALONE, N.Y. -- Neighbors in Malone stood in surprise, took pictures and even shared stories of a once popular tavern that started to crumble early Monday morning.

County Legislator Billy Jones said, "It's an old structure, it was a structure that was obviously unsafe."

The tavern/hotel was built in the early 1900'. It has been closed to the public for about 15 years and was condemned six months ago.

Franklin County Emergency Services Director Rick Provost, "We're unsure what occurred last night at 3 a.m. What we do know is this building has been on our list of buildings with issues."

Jones said, "Old things fall down."

Police closed off part off Route 11 to traffic and to people, out of concern the rest of the building could fall down. Some in the community voiced concern over why this building, along with others like it in the area that haven't already been demolished. Officials say it comes down to money.

Provost said, "The high cost of abatement for these buildings really makes it tough for the county or the village to take those burdens on."

Jones, "We just have to come up with a plan to start taking some of these building down so we don't run into this problem going forward."

The demolition is only expected to take hours, but cleaning up the area is a different issue. Officials say it could be weeks before the site is completely cleared.

 LAKE ELSINORE: Water leak causes street collapse

 

10:00 PM PDT on Friday, July 22, 2011

By GENE GHIOTTO
The Press-Enterprise

Temporary repairs to a section of Joy Street in Lake Elsinore are in place today after a 1-inch water line gave way, causing 80 feet of the roadway to collapse and the asphalt to buckle.

The leak, caused by a 6 to 8-inch diameter tree root, was reported late Thursday in a line that leads to several duplexes on Joy between Machado Street and Riverside Drive, and behind Machado Elementary School.

Water service was restored to the 34 customers early Friday morning, said Greg Morrison, spokesman for the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District.

Water district and contractor crews spent much of Friday removing the damaged asphalt on the southbound side of Joy and laying down a temporary patch. The road was opened in both directions by late afternoon.

"That way the road will be open completely for the entire weekend," Morrison said.

Crews will return Monday and trench from curb to curb to permanently repair the 1-inch line.

On Tuesday, a paving company will remove the patch, put down new base and repave one side of Joy, Morrison said. Work on the other side will take place on Wednesday.

"That way on Tuesday and Wednesday we'll be able to keep on

Windhorst, Parsons Roadway Collapse: Cautious Testing Continues

County workers are testing for sinkholes but the work is proceeding methodically because of utility lines at the intersection, according to a Hillsborough County spokesman.

Several lanes at the intersection of Windhorst Road and Parsons Avenue in Brandon remained closed for the indefinite future as county workers tread carefully in determining what caused a section of the roadway to collapse July 19.

“We have to be really careful at that intersection because there are lots of utility lines in the area,” said Hillsborough County spokesman Patrick Murray. "We have a sewer line and a water line there and we have to make sure there are no other utilities, so we have to be careful drilling.”

At the scene, late afternoon July 22, barricades were seen at the intersection, with drilling under way.

Crew workers first believed a 16-inch sewage pipeline beneath the intersection might have caused the collapse of the 6-foot-square section of roadway on July 19, according to a county report.

But the sewer line was dug up and found to be intact.  Now the county is testing the intersection for sinkholes — but carefully, as Murray noted.  

Additional detours and lane closures are possible as crews dig up the line for inspection and any necessary repairs.

Motorists who must travel through the intersection are warned to expect delays.

Sewer collapse closes part of Lexington Road

At least one eastbound lane of Road near Etley Avenue and Cave Hill Cemetery will be closed during Thursday morning’s rush hour after a 48-inch brick sewer collapsed Wednesday evening.

Crews noticed a depression in the road before discovering the sewer had collapsed, and the area will be excavated Thursday morning, said Metropolitan Sewer District Executive   Bud Schardein.

He said it was too early to tell what caused the collapse, but age was a likely factor. That part of the sewer was built in the 1880s and could have been weakened from an unusually wet spring.

“With all the wet weather we’ve had this past spring, that has a tendency to undermine the mortar,” Schardein said.

Road collapse might have killed Colorado family

(2011-07-20)

(wpr) - Engineers say a large section of Wyoming highway where four Colorado family members plunged to their deaths might have totally collapsed in a matter of minutes.

It had been raining for hours Monday night when local authorities warned the Constantinides family, among others, about potential flood conditions near North Brush Creek Campground around midnight.

Not long afterward, the family's van drove into a washed-out portion of Wyoming highway 130 and was swept about 75 yards down Brush Creek. Laurel Constantindies and her three daughters died.

The husband and father, Alex Constantindies, who had grown up in Laramie, survived and escape the vehicle. He and a passerby later rescued Carbon County Emergency management Coordinator John Ziegler, whose car washed out while he was trying to assist in flood protection efforts.

Ziegler said he was "very fortunate" to have survived.

Bruce Burrows of the Wyoming Transportation Department says engineers are studying what happened to the roadway early Tuesday morning. He says preliminary assessments indicate the creek swollen with rain and snowmelt may have undermined the roadway over some hours and then gouged a 25-foot-wide, 9-foot-deep hole in a matter of minutes.

For the cause of the accident, the local government is a single point of heavy rain caused by a natural disaster.

7 8, correspondent along the new road to the scene three, the road there are construction workers on the highway guardrail, drainage and other construction, from time to time some sections of earth and rock rolled down from the hills.

close to the scene of the accident, the construction set up roadblocks on the road side. In the new three road K25 +450 to K26 +480 road, the reporter saw a total of three road damage, including two collapsed, a surface crack. Road accident at the hillside, two-way four-lane have collapsed, a lot of rocks, soil and concrete was rushed into the street of the valley.

“red water collapsed roadbed”

Zhang Xinping County Department of Transportation Secretary BU has introduced three new roads through villages and towns in Xinping County 8 19 village committees, with a total mileage of 90 kilometers . Road along the fragile geology, disasters, floods and geological disasters have been more serious.

accidents mainly due to heavy rains led to a single point of soft roadbed, road ditches and culverts to be above the blockage, and finally the formation of water as a waterfall of impact, resulting in collapse of highway roadbed.

Bu there are rules that highway design, construction and supervision units are selected strictly in accordance with the bidding system, procedural compliance and found no serious design flaws, quality of construction or supervision of omissions.

collapse occurred Sections of the construction unit project manager Jiangzu Long introduction, the unit will subcontract work to the successful construction services company, the project head of engineering equipment and materials, and is responsible for management and technical guidance, service company only the labor force, which is not labor sub-subcontract, the state permitted by law.

he said, in strict accordance with design drawings for construction, engineering, quality is no problem, Lu Jisong soft infiltration and erosion is mainly caused by the floods.

Car crushed as wall collapses onto road

Flood Damage: Windsor Road in Fairfield remains closed after the collapse of a front garden wall and damage to a parked car following overnight rain.

TONNES of masonry and earth crashed on to a busy pedestrian route in Buxton this week, crushing one car and damaging another.

Heavy rain caused a landslide which led to a retaining wall at a property on Windsor Road to collapse onto a Vauxhall Astra and a Ford Fiesta at just after 10pm on Tuesday night. And parts of the wall, which was around eight foot tall, had also fallen into the road, which remained closed as the Buxton Advertiser went to press.

The Vauxhall Astra was written off by the impact. However, no one was injured. The wall was the border of the garden at the property.

Despite a bright start to October, when the weather was unseasonably warm, the High Peak has suffered torrential rain for several days. And the Buxton Weather website shows that 92mm of rain has already fallen in the first two weeks of the month compared to 110mm for the whole of the month of October last year. The Met Office are predicting drier spells in the next few days.

The heavy rain has also seen levels of the River Wye in the Pavilion Gardens rise significantly.

And with the weather set to get more unsettled as winter approaches, insurance price comparison site Confused.com last week revealed that storm-related home insurance claims have risen by 68 per cent overall in the last year.

Research by the company showed that storms, lightning strikes and falling trees are among the issues claimed for over the last 12 months and the company are reminding people to check their home insurance policies to make sure they are covered for adverse weather.

Wall collapse causes traffic chaos

Drivers in Sheffield ran into traffic chaos yesterday afternoon after a high stone wall on one of the city’s major roads collapsed.

The 6ft wall, which runs alongside King Edward VII School and Language College in Broomhill, fell down at about 1.45pm.

Rubble was left strewn across much of Glossop Road and covering sections of pavement next to a bus stop.

No one was injured in the incident.

Vinci Construction is currently carrying out major works at the secondary school under Sheffield’s Building Schools for the Future scheme. The works, being carried out in three phases, include refurbishment of its grade II-listed building, and new buildings including a sports hall and science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem) centre.

The collapse exposed gas pipes in Glossop Road and led to the road being closed to traffic heading towards the city centre.

Drivers heading towards Sheffield were diverted via Whitham Road and Western Bank.

CEDAR CITY  — A massive weekend landslide closed a state highway east of Cedar City and is forcing Utah transportation officials to the sky to map the damage.

Utah Department of Transportation Officials say the slide happened over a section of state Route 14 about eight miles east of Cedar City. It is 1,700 feet in length and moved over 100 feet down slope, containing roughly 1.5 million cubic yards of dirt, rock, vegetation and debris. In one location, transportation officials report, the slide is 100 feet deep and it will likely take three to four months before the roadway reopens.

 

 

The landslide has the Cedar City/Brian Head Tourism Bureau suggesting alternate routes for travelers.  Visitors and travelers wishing to see Cedar Breaks National Monument, state Route 143 via Parowan and Brian Head offers a direct route to several views before connecting to state Route 148.   Although the visitor center and campground services are now closed at Cedar Breaks, the viewpoints will remain open until the road closes after snowfall prohibits traffic to the area. 

From the north, another access point to Bryce Canyon from I-15 is state Route 20. That route connects to U.S. 89 and state Route 12 to Bryce Canyon.

First a rumble, then pavement next to Sheffield bus stop disappears

Wall collapse at King Edward VII School

Wall collapse at King Edward VII School

WITNESSES heard a deep rumbling noise before an entire section of pavement next to a Sheffield bus stop collapsed into the ground yesterday.

Nobody was waiting at the normally busy bus stop when the pavement started to crack and the footpath disappeared.

The landslide happened as a three metre section of stone wall forming a boundary to King Edward VII upper school fell down - and took the pavement on Glossop Road in Broomhill down with it.

The school is currently undergoing £22 million of construction work, refurbishment and rebuilding.

Cheryl Wall, from the Hallamshire Physiotherapy Clinic opposite, said: “There is a very big gap where the pavement has collapsed. It’s amazing no-one was standing at the bus stop at the time.”

A worker at The Rutland Hotel across the road said she had heard a rumbling noise before the pavement fell in and the wall collapsed at around 1.45pm yesterday.

“It’s a biggish section of wall and the pavement next to it has just gone,” she said.

One lane of Glossop Road heading to Broomhill had to be closed while the area was sealed off, and police diversions were put in place along Whitham Road. The road had to be shut for a further 15 minutes yesterday evening so another section of unsafe wall could be demolished.

First buses diverted journeys from Fulwood via Endcliffe and Clarkehouse Road, omitting Broomhill, and doubling back to serve the hospital.

King Edward VII headteacher Bev Jackson said workers from the school’s contractors, Vinci, had been monitoring the wall every day to check there had been no movement caused by the building works.

“It’s a mystery - although there has been a lot of rain this week on dry ground and that could be a factor,” she said.

“There’s a lot of rubble which has fallen down towards the school but that is all. But it is lucky that no-one was working in the area and that no-one was at the bus stop.”

She said the collapse appeared to be a ‘freak of nature

Big Woody's, closed over sinkhole damage, expected to open by the end of October

Published: Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 4:47 AM     Updated: Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 7:39 AM

 

big woodys sinkhole.JPGView full sizeSinkholes have opened up behind and under Big Woody's in Forks Township, a sports bar and restaurant in a strip shopping center on Sullivan Trail.   

Big Woody’s Sports Bar and Restaurant is on track to open by the end of the month, according to its landlord.

The business in the Sullivan Trail strip mall near Zucksville Road closed in August after sinkholes opened up in the parking lot.

Landlord Joe Posh previously said he would be seeking help with repair costs from the Easton Suburban Water Authority if the holes opened up due to a water main break. They opened up around the time of torrential rains from Hurricane Irene, and may have opened due to the stormwater.

Posh said Monday the cracks in the business’ siding and undermining its foundation could be a sign of damage caused by ruptured water lines.

“It’s a sign of a washout from some things,” he said. “We are still assessing it.”

The cluster of cracks and cavities — about seven of them — are yet to be filled in and cover about 50 to 60 square feet behind the strip mall, Posh said.

An Easton Suburban Water Authority spokesman did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

About 2,000 gallons of water were lost due to a main break on the site. The restaurant cannot reopen until a structural engineer determines it is safe.

Trevor Wayward, professional geologist with Gilmore & Associates, assessed the damage in August on behalf of the township. He said several factors could cause foundations to unsettle, including the underlying bedrock in the Lehigh Valley, a limestone corridor. Wayward said there are definite sinkhole-related features in the road near the Big Woody’s property,

Township Manager Richard Schnaedter said the water authority could be to blame for the holes.

Posh has since hired Earth Engineering Inc. to assess damage. Paul J. Creneti, director at Earth Engineering, did not immediately return a phone call for comment.

Geologists have estimated it would cost at least $50,000 to repair the damage.

The other merchants in the strip mall — Supercuts, Ivy Cleaners, a vacant building that had housed CC Wireless and Jasmine Japanese and Thai Cuisine — have reopened. Posh said Big Woody’s owners are remodeling the interior and exterior of the building.

Growing Sinkhole Threatens Home Destruction in Stafford

Wednesday, Oct 12, 2011  |  Updated 8:31 AM EDT
 
 
A sinkhole in Stafford, Va. has already swallowed several decks and now threatens to destroy homes. News4's Aaron Gilchrist learned how the community is helping to save the homes.

A sinkhole in Stafford, Va. has already swallowed several decks and now threatens to destroy homes. News4's Aaron Gilchrist learned how the community is helping to save the homes.

 

A sinkhole that opened up early last month in Stafford is growing, and threatens to swallow up two homes.

Ora Barnes and Dan O'Leary, who own the two houses on Brush Everard Court, are hoping an engineering firm can offer them a solution to the slow-moving landslide.  The sliding dirt has already swept most of their backyards down hill.

The sinkhole, approximately 100-feet wide and 30-feet deep, developed after days of heavy rain in early September.

Stafford County officials deemed the so hole so dangerous the two homes have been condemned.  In the second week of September, a chain link fence topped by barbed wire went up around both properties, to keep curious onlookers from wandering around back and falling off the cliff.

Geotechnical engineers are on site drilling 65 foot deep holes to take soil and water  samples to try to figure out what to do next.  The evaluation will cost $15,000.

The homeowners said after consulting attorneys, they have discovered the monetary burden to fix the problem is all on them.  A local church, Ebenezer United Methodist, has come to their aid, collecting donations.

The engineers' evaluation could take several weeks.

Police said that the excavating equipment toppled on a construction site on York Blvd. near Keele St. and that the incident was classified as an industrial accident..

Police said that the excavating equipment toppled on a construction site on York Blvd. near Keele St. and that the incident was classified as an industrial accident..

CTV Toronto
Raveena Aulakh and Niamh Scallan Staff Reporters
 

One person was killed and five others injured after a piece of construction equipment collapsed at York University.

Emergency Medical Services confirmed that one worker at the scene died.

That worker and another were initially trapped beneath the equipment, which collapsed at a construction site on York Blvd. near Keele St. at about 2:40 p.m. on Tuesday, police said.

The worker who was trapped but alive was freed by emergency workers and transported to Sunnybrook hospital, police said.

The accident happened at the site of the future subway station at the university, Toronto Transit Commission spokesman Brad Ross confirmed.

“It is our project but we contracted the work out,” he said.

A contractor has been working on the University-Spadina extension line at York U for months.

Ross said he did not yet know how many workers were at the scene when the accident happened. “We know they were doing excavation.”

The accident is causing traffic and transit disruptions. Police said Steeles Ave. is open, but drivers can expect delays as traffic clears the area during rush hour.

The campus TTC bus loop at York and Ian MacDonald Blvds. is closed, and the following routes are diverting or letting off passengers near the school: 35E, 41, 60, 106, 107, 108 and 196.

An Ornge medical helicopter landed in a field at the southeast corner of Keele St. and Steeles Ave. at 3:15 p.m. It is expected to leave shortly.

An inspector from the provincial Ministry of Labour is at the scene, said a spokesperson. An engineer will also be deployed, added William Lin.
