Sinkhole Incidents On the Rise
"Stretch zones primarily experience sinking ground, as the support in the rock strata is stretched thin. Thus, buildings implode and gas and water mains break." ZetaTalk

What happens to rock layers under a diagonal pull, or being pulled apart? As can be seen during recent years, this has resulted in derailing trains, sinkholes suddenly appearing, gas and water main breaks, torn roadways and separating bridges. Despite the effect on man, crawling about on the surface of what they assume to be terra firma, these changes are superficial. When the pulling starts, weak points break and thereafter the plumbing and roadways hold, giving the impression that the pulling has stopped, but this is misleading. The North American continent is giving evidence that its rock layers are separating from each other, and sliding sideways in a diagonal, thus exposing portions of these layers to vent into the air above. If rock is being stressed, then where are the earthquake predictors giving evidence of this, the frantic animals, the static on the radio, the earthquake swarms? Rock in the stretch zone, pulling apart rather than compressing, does not emit the particles flows that animals and radios sense, nor register on instruments are tension and release quakes.

"We have repeatedly stated that the Earth changes will not diminish, but will increase going into the pole shift.
This is not a lineal matter, as the closer Planet X comes to Earth, an inevitable path, the more the torque effect and the polar wobble where the N Pole of Earth is pushed away violently on a daily basis, occur. The wobble will become more pronounced, more violent. The plates are tugged back West of the Atlantic, pulled forward East of the Atlantic, during the daily rotation of the Earth. The North American continent is allowed to roll East during rotation while the S Pole is pulled West, creating the diagonal pull likely to trigger the New Madrid fault line into an adjustment, and soon. The N Pole is pushed away and allowed to bounce back, daily, as the Earth rotates, a wobble that puts stress on all fault lines when the plates are suddenly in motion, and suddenly stopped!
"As there is no other explanation for the effect on the stretch zone, lacking any earthquakes to blame, and as these stretch zone accidents will continue to emerge, and with ferocity, this is a certain clue to those on the fence, that the influence of Planet X is the cause. Or is it Global Warming?"
ZetaTalk Chat Q&A for April 13, 2013
"Sinkholes almost invariably form in areas subject to karst limestone cavern formation. Underground water flows eat away the limestone leaving vast caverns and caves, which often give scant indication above ground that a cavern lies below. Karst limestone rock formations have been mapped and are known, however, but since one never knows just where a cavern might have formed, this provides little help in predicting just where a sinkhole might form. Sinkholes open up when the rock is fractured due to stress from being in the stretch zone, from the bending of a plate, or due to torsion."

Scientists Pinpoint World's Deepest Underwater Sinkhole - Yucatan Peninsular, Mexico
An image taken from an aerial drone shows the Taam Ja' Blue Hole off the coast of Mexico.
A blue hole off the coast of Mexico has been found to be the deepest underwater sinkhole in the world.
The Taam Ja' Blue Hole, which was first discovered in 2021, was originally thought to be 900 feet deep, but according to new research published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, it's actually at least 480 feet deeper at a staggering 1,380 feet below sea level.
This makes it 393 feet deeper than the previous record-holding blue hole: the Sansha Yongle Blue Hole, or Dragon Hole, in the South China Sea, which is 987 feet deep.
The researchers investigated the Taam Ja' Blue Hole (TJBH)—which is located in Chetumal Bay off the southeast coast of the Yucatán Peninsula—using a conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) profiler, which transmits the properties of an underwater environment back up to the surface.
A map shows the location of the Taam Ja’ Blue Hole in Mexico's Chetumal Bay. New measurements have indicated that the hole is at least a record-setting 1,380 feet deep."On December 6, 2023, a scuba diving expedition was conducted to identify the environmental conditions prevailing at the TJBH," the researchers wrote. "Recent CTD profiler records in TJBH surpassed 420 mbsl [meters below sea level] with no bottom yet reached, establishing the TJBH as the deepest-known blue hole globally."
Confirmation of its depth was not initially possible because of instrument limitations during the scientific expeditions in 2021 that led to its discovery.
The study also reveals that the salinity of the water in the blue hole resembles that of the Caribbean Sea, implying that the TJBH may be connected to the ocean via hidden tunnels.
The location of the Taam Ja’ Blue Hole (TJBH) in Chetumal Bay, Mexico, is shown in these maps, along with the locations of documented blue holes in Chetumal Bay, main image, and fracture zones and... FRONT. MAR. SCI., 29 APRIL 2024

Rt. 202 in King of Prussia closed in both directions due to new sinkhole
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Drivers in King of Prussia should expect road closures through the weekend in both directions of Route 202 (Dekalb Pike) due to sinkhole repairs.
The northbound lanes of the road have been closed between Henderson Road and Saulin Boulevard since early Thursday morning due to a sinkhole.
After crews applied new concrete, rushing water was found beneath the surface on Friday, according to PennDOT.
Crews now need to rip up the new concrete and locate the water leak before making further repairs. That process began Friday night.
But as workers were on the scene, another sinkhole was discovered in the southbound lane around 7 p.m.
Both directions of Rt. 202 will remain closed until further notice.
There has been no official word on what caused these sinkholes to open up, although according to Accuweather, three inches of rain was recorded in nearby Norristown on Sunday.
Another sinkhole on this same stretch of Rt. 202 opened up back in July. A water main break was discovered under the sunken pavement after a period of heavy rain, which had to be repaired twice after it started to sink again after the initial repair.

Dramatic photos show huge sinkhole to open up beneath popular Welsh social club - that started off as 'just a little hole' in the tarmac
Dramatic photos show the damage caused by a huge sinkhole which opened up beneath a social club after starting out as 'just a 'little hole' in the tarmac.
The images reveal a cavernous crater where the ground opened up in a car park just outside of Cwmfelin Social Club, in Swansea, surrounded by cracks in the concrete.
Owners have fenced off the club - which is surrounded by broken bricks and concrete - after its toilets were swallowed by the gaping sinkhole.
The hole was filled temporarily, but it's reappeared after the wet weather and is said to be so deep that you can't see the bottom
The sinkhole started off as small hole last year before part of the ground collapsed outside Cwmfelin Social Club on August 31, causing extensive damage to the club and its carpark.
Club secretary Michael Kennedy said it began as a small hole in the tarmac but after recent downpours it grew - with cracks eventually forming - before the toilets 'caved in'.
It was initially believed the historic, 76-year-old club would only need to close for a few weeks while repairs took place, but the damage to the building was far more severe than anticipated.
Bosses of the much-loved club say it will up between a year and 18 months before they can welcome customers back through the doors.
Club secretary Mr Kennedy said: 'It started back in January 2022, there was just a small little hole in the carpark - we reported it to the insurance company the and it had been getting gradually worse.
'But then last month, with all the poor weather we've had, it got really serious and big cracks formed and the toilets fell in.'
'It's a safety issue, the culvert beneath the club has collapsed and the hole is about 10metres down.
'We did fill in the hole temporarily, but it's now reappeared after the wet weather - it's so deep you can't really see the bottom!'

Taiwan. Taipei sinkhole grows, Nanjing West Road closed
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A sinkhole that appeared on a Taipei City street over the weekend has grown in size due to damage to an underground sewage line.
The asphalt in front of No. 311 Nanjing West Road, from Xining North Road to Huanhe North Road, in Datong District sank late at night on Saturday (July 8). The pavement was repaired by Taipei City Government Public Works Department (PWD) crews and was opened to traffic at 8 p.m. on Sunday (July 9).
However, it began to collapse again at 1 a.m. on Monday morning (July 10) and Taipei City Councilor Chen E-jun (陳怡君) arrived at the scene to assess the situation. The preliminary assessment by the PWD is that a damaged sewage pipeline close to the Tamsui River caused the sinkhole. The river is experiencing tidal fluctuations, making it difficult to stop water from entering the sewage line, reported Liberty Times.
A forward command post has been established at the scene and repair work will continue. According to the department, due to the damage to the sewage pipeline, groundwater has continued to wash away the soil beneath the street.

Massive sinkhole reopens after swallowing screaming man whose body was never found
A sinkhole, estimated to be about 12 feet by 12 feet, has reopened at the same site that swallowed a man while he slept in 2013. He has not been seen since.
A killer sinkhole in Florida that swallowed a man in 2013 reopened on Monday, according to officials. It’s the third time the hole has opened.
Hillsborough County officials say they received a call at around 4.30pm about the sinkhole reopening and fire crews, along with deputies, were called out to the site.
The 100ft hole swallowed 36-year-old Jeffrey Bush in 2013. He has not been seen since.
Jeffrey was asleep in his bedroom at the time when the hole opened and the floor collapsed beneath him.

Vast 1,000ft sinkhole that's swallowed CARS has residents fearing for lives
The sinkhole grew overnight (Image: San Antonio Fire Department)
The sink hole measures 1,000ft wide and 400ft deep after growing in just one night.
A massive sinkhole in Texas has grown overnight after residents reported hearing "gunshots" coming from the ground. The rim of the sinkhole in Daiseta, southeastern Texas, began crumbling on Sunday night despite being stable for years. After going to bed, locals woke up to find the sinkhole had gained around 150ft in both width and depth.
Neighbour Linda Hoover told KTRK: "We just never thought it would start again.
"When we bought our house a few years ago, we were under the understanding that it was stabilised."
Linda had packed her bags along with her family in case the sinkhole spread further.
Some residents have been losing sleep over fears of the sinkhole taking out their homes and possessions.
Jordana Priessler said: "I was having a lot of trouble going to sleep last night because I didn’t know if we were going to get swallowed up. My family told me it happened kind of fast before."
The hole first started growing around 15 years ago, starting at just 20ft, but this soon grew to measure 900ft across and 250ft deep.
It sent the small town into a panic after swallowing cars, oil tanks, and power lines.
Pictures showed a building on the edge of the hole.
Experts believe the hole has been caused by the erosion of a large salt dome the town is built on top of.
Fire officials did not offer much reassurance, saying they were a force of nature and there was nothing they can do about them.
Liberty County assistant fire marshal Erskin Holcomb said: "Sinkholes and extremely unpredictable. It can take a week to move one foot, or it can crumble 20ft overnight."
City officials have also said they are not planning on evacuating anyone. They said: "We are closely monitoring the situation and will work with state and local authorities to provide updates to the community as the situation progresses."

The black hole of Chile: 82ft-wide, 650ft-deep sinkhole appears near small town
- The 82-foot-wide hole mysteriously appeared on Saturday in the commune of Tierra Amarilla, Atacama region
- Terrifying phenomenon took place close to the Alcaparrosa mine and is thought to be more than 650ft deep
- Local mayor Cristobal Zuniga spoke of the fear held by nearby residents of excessive mining in the area
- But it has not yet been established whether the sinkhole is directly related to nearby mining operations
- Officials from Chile's national geology agency have been dispatched to investigate the unsettling spectacle
An enormous sinkhole linked to a copper mine in northern Chile which materialised this weekend has been captured in stunning new images.
The 82-foot-wide hole mysteriously appeared on Saturday in the commune of Tierra Amarilla in the Atacama Region, close to the giant Alcaparrosa mine, and is thought to be more than 650ft deep.
Chilean media released aerial images of the strange phenomenon which took place on land operated by a Canadian Lundin Mining copper mine, about 413 miles north of the capital Santiago.
Local mayor Cristobal Zuniga on Sunday confirmed the presence of the sinkhole, which is located right on the outskirts of the town, and spoke of the fear held by nearby residents that excessive mining in the area could have catastrophic consequences.
'Yesterday [Saturday, 30th July] we received a citizen complaint regarding a sinkhole that occurred here in our community near the Alcaparrosa mine.
'We are concerned, since it is a fear that we have always had as a community, the fact we are surrounded by mining deposits and subterranean works under our community.'
here is no official confirmation yet that the sinkhole was caused by activities related to mining, but local officials say the hole is still growing.
Mayor Zuniga said: 'It is still active, it is still growing and it is something that has not previously been seen in our community.'
Atacama Region official Gerardo Tapia ordered the National Geology and Mining Service, known as Sernageomin, to establish why the sinkhole appeared.
Sernageomin's director David Montenegro later confirmed the organisation had sent specialist personnel to the area to conduct analyses.
'There is a considerable distance, approximately 200 meters, to the bottom,' Montenegro said. 'We haven't detected any material down there, but we have seen the presence of a lot of water.'
No injuries have been reported and officials continue to monitor the area, though locals are concerned that the hole, which appeared out of nowhere, is continuing to grow.
The Lundin Mining Corporation, majority owners of the mine where the sinkhole appeared, confirmed the phenomenon was detected on Saturday and said it had suspended work in the area pending Sernageomin's tests.
The corporation said in a statement: 'Upon detection, the area was immediately isolated and the relevant regulatory authorities notified.
'There has been no impact to personnel, equipment or infrastructure.
'The surficial sinkhole has remained stable since detection. Minera Ojos del Salado is conducting a technical analysis and gathering information to determine the cause of the event.'
Lundin Mining owns 80 per cent of the property and the rest is held by Japan's Sumitomo Corporation.
There have been a number of reports of sinkholes emerging in Australia in recent weeks following a period of heavy flooding.
Sinkholes often spring up after bouts of severe wet weather, because the excess water seeps into the ground and begins to erode the earth under the surface.
An Australian farm house in Richmond Lowlands, north west of Sydney, was destroyed earlier this month after it crumbled into a huge sinkhole which appeared after heavy rain and flooding along the Hawkesbury River.
It came as the Archerfield farm was recovering after being hit by a third major flood since the start of 2022.
Meanwhile in March, a major NSW highway was closed for repairs after a sinkhole swallowed huge chunks of the road, and families in the Blue Mountains were forced to evacuate after sinkholes and landslides threatened to engulf their homes following days of torrential rain.

City responds to vehicle-devouring sinkholes on Saskatoon streets
Officials say the city is only liable for damages in situations where it knew or ought to have known a hazard existed.
A car encountered a sinkhole at the Preston Avenue and Adelaide Street intersection near Market Mall.
Spring is pothole season in Saskatoon, and this year’s bumper crop of chasms has already claimed a few front ends
Brendan Lemke, the city’s director of water and waste, said in an emailed statement on Tuesday that crews haven’t determined what caused the two sinkholes.
“Excavation may be necessary to determine specifics,” he wrote.
Lemke said large sinkholes are fairly uncommon. In general, he said they’re often caused when a water main break causes ground frost to melt, creating unstable conditions.
“This can evolve rather quickly” when large-diameter pipes break, Lemke added.
“We have no way of knowing whether an accumulation of water on the surface would indicate this type of scenario,” he wrote, adding that city crews arriving at the scene of a potential water main break will usually seek to isolate the rupture by manipulating valves in the area, and try to block off the area using barricades or pylons.
Lemke noted crews have no way of knowing whether an accumulation of water is a shallow puddle or hiding a crater.
“While the water remains pooled, it’s impossible to inspect visually,” he wrote.
He encouraged drivers to look out for safety barriers and avoid driving through large puddles at this time of year.
LIMITED COVERAGE FOR MOTORISTS
A city spokeswoman said drivers whose vehicles are damaged in potholes should contact their insurance providers first.
By law, the city is only liable for vehicle damages caused by potholes in situations where the city knew or ought to have known of the issue, she said.
