ZETATALK: THE STRETCH ZONE, THAT SINKING FEELING

ZetaTalk explores the concept of Earth's "stretch zones"—regions where tectonic plates are being pulled apart due to planetary forces, particularly in anticipation of a predicted pole shift. It focuses heavily on the eastern seaboard of the U.S., the Caribbean, and parts of Europe, warning that these areas will experience significant land subsidence due to the widening of the Atlantic Rift.

Key points include:

Historical evidence of submerged forests and civilizations off the U.S. East Coast and Bermuda.
Predictions that areas like Florida, Georgia, and the UK will lose elevation and be permanently flooded.
A detailed catalog of sinkholes, train derailments, infrastructure collapses, and mysterious odors from 2004–2005, interpreted as signs of Earth stretching.
The concept of “imploding cities”, where underground infrastructure fails due to shifting rock layers.
Warnings to relocate from vulnerable coastal and low-lying areas before the pole shift occurs.

5 confirmed killed after building collapse in north Nigeria

Source: Xinhua| 2019-08-20 03:54:12

ABUJA, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- Five persons were confirmed killed after two residential buildings collapsed in two different locations in Nigeria's northern state of Jigawa on Monday, said a local official.

The two incidents in Kirikasamma area of the state occurred following days of torrential rainfalls, said Salisu Garba-Kubayo, head of the local government.

Garba-Kubayo said three persons from one family died after their house suddenly collapsed in the village of Kuraduge, while two others, a man and his wife, died after their house collapsed in Madachi village in the same area.

The local official told reporters that following the persistent rainfall, over 30 villages in Kirikasamma had been taken over by flood.

At least 330 houses were destroyed by the floods, he added.

On Aug. 7, the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency, which is responsible for issuing flood alert, issued an alert over possible flooding due to the high intensity of rainfall across the country.

The hydrological body said the flooding incidents are due to high rainfall intensity of long duration, rainstorms, blockage of drainage systems and poor urban planning resulting from the erection of structures within the floodplains and waterways.

This year, Nigeria's 36 states and the federal capital territory, Abuja, would witness different levels of flooding, the hydrological body predicted. Enditem

13 armymen among 14 dead in HP building collapse

Last updated on: July 15, 2019 23:55 IST

As many as 14 people died and 28 others were injured after a multi-storey building collapsed in Himachal Pradesh's Solan district, officials said on Monday.

The bodies of 13 Army personnel of 4 Assam Regiment from nearby Dagshai Cantonment and a civilian were extricated from the debris, they said.

28 people, including 17 Army personnel and 11 civilians, were injured after the four-storey building, which housed a restaurant, collapsed on the Nahan-Kumarhatti Road on Sunday evening following heavy rains.

The rescue operation ended at about 4 pm on Monday, Solan Additional Superintendent of Police Shiv Kumar told PTI.

He said initial investigation has found that the structure was not built up to specifications.

"A magisterial inquiry has already been ordered. Strict legal action will be taken against erring persons after getting the report," he said.

The CM said a first information report has been registered against the owner of the building.

"There are more such buildings in the state. Owners have constructed them without following building by-laws. Whatever is required to be done, will be done to check it," he said in response to queries by the media.

"Necessary equipment was airlifted on Sunday evening itself through a helicopter from Shimla's Sunni to carry out the rescue work by the NDRF," Thakur added.

Deputy Commissioner K C Chaman said Solan Sub Divisional Magistrate Rohit Rathore has been directed to conduct the inquiry into the incident.

An injured soldier told reporters from the hospital that when the building collapsed, there were 35 Army personnel inside it, of whom 30 were Junior Commissioned Officers.

He said Army personnel belonging to the 4 Assam Regiment of nearby Dagshai Cantonment went to the restaurant "to party as it was a Sunday but suddenly the building shook and collapsed in no minutes".

Another injured person Rakesh Kumar, said that about 50 people, including several Army personnel, restaurant staff and other customers were in the building when it collapsed.

"We thought it was a quake and did not know how the building collapsed and we were trapped under the debris. I remained trapped for about 10-15 minutes after which some people rescued me," he added.

The Army, Central Reserve Police Force and police initially carried out the rescue operation.

Subsequently, two National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams -- one from Haryana's Panchkula and the other from Shimla's Sunni -- reached the spot Sunday night to carry out the rescue work, Director-cum-Special Secretary Revenue and Disaster Management, D C Rana told PTI.
A third NDRF team from Panchkula joined the rescue operation on Monday morning, he said.

Huge hole after bridge, roadway collapse in Licking County

Wednesday, June 19th 2019

LICKING COUNTY, Ohio (WSYX/WTTE) — A pickup trucker driver likely got a huge scare Tuesday night during the storm. Workers said the guy came across a collapsed bridge and roadway on Deeds Road near Granville, his front tires slipping off the pavement in the dark.

Crews were called out to repair the rural road of State Route 37.

Licking County Engineer Jared Knerr said all the rain is taking a toll on some roads across our area. The road and bridge on Ramp Creek collapsed and left a thirty-foot wide hole. The road is closed and traffic is being detoured.

Knerr said the bridge had been inspected in the past year and no issues were found. “The pipe itself has some damage on the underside, the inside, which again, didn’t show up on our inspection. So it has just happened recently as well,” Knerr said.

Salina Thrasher lives next to where the collapse happened. Thrasher joked that if we get more rain she might have to build an ark for her goats, chickens, and pet turkey named Fred. Thrasher said the rain came down so hard and fast the asphalt just crumbled.

“A big hole. It looks like there’s been an earthquake and the road just fell in,” said Thrasher.

Crews worked to cap off a natural gas line on the site. They will remove the damaged pipe. Knerr said they would look for a concrete box culvert to replace the damaged section. That may take weeks or even months. People who live in the area are not looking forward to the inconvenience of the road being closed. No word yet on what the repairs will cost.

Half Of Road Collapses After Cracks Appear

June 14, 2019

This is the moment half of a multi-lane road disappears down a construction pit hours after workers discovered cracks forming underneath it.

Footage from the city of Nanning, capital of China’s southern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, shows the construction site’s retaining wall giving way on 8th June.

It happened at 6pm local time, just six hours after workmen noticed cracks emerging on the surface of eight-lane Dongge Road, which has four lanes going in either direction.

By 2pm, construction was halted and personnel were evacuated from the pit, where the foundations of a multi-storey building were still being laid.

Footage taken from a nearby tower block shows half of Dongge Road then collapsing and tonnes of earth pouring into the excavated land.

Officials said no one was injured during the accident, which affected a road section 60 metres (196 feet) long and 15 metres (50 feet) wide.

According to reports, minor cracks in the road surface had been discovered a week earlier, but they were not serious enough for work to be stopped.

Authorities have sealed off the west-to-east section of Dongge Road and are working to reconstruct the retaining wall, which they say had been warped due to erosion caused by a leaking pipe.

Heavy congestion has already been reported in the area, with traffic having been diverted away from the thoroughfare.

Officials did not reveal who the construction site belongs to whether the owners would be held liable for the incident.

Up to 100 untis were evacuated amid fears the high-rise on Bourke S...

(9News)

A high-rise apartment block in the Sydney suburb of Mascot has been evacuated after residents reported the building started to move.

Residents from 131 apartments were evacuated by Police and NSW Fire and Rescue who attended the Bourke Street building, just after 6pm this evening.

“We evacuated as a precaution, after movement was detected over a couple of days,” a NSW Fire and Rescue spokesperson said.

Police say a number of residents left the building on their own accord.

A temporary shelter has been established at Mascot Town Hall where residents can wait for the ‘all clear’.

Engineers are currently at the location assessing the 'structural integrity' and safety on the floors affected.

While no injuries have been reported police have cordoned off the area to prevent any injury, should debris star falling from the building.

There was also a road exclusion zone in place at Bourke Street and nearby Coward Street and Church Avenue.

Some residents reported seeing the cracks in the walls get bigger over the past two days and all are required to find alternative accommodation for the time being.

Strata and building management issued a notice to residents saying 94 units were evacuated and further monitoring of the situation would be required over the next week.
