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.

Another Building Collapses In Lagos Casualties Unknown – LASEMA

Sep 22, 2015 6:50 pm

The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) says it has yet to determine the number of casualties in Tuesday building collapse in Lekki area of the state.

Mr Michael Akindele, the General Manager of the agency, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the scene of the incident.

NAN reports that the collapsed building was located at 37 Agungi/Ajiran Road, Osapa London, Lekki in Eti-Osa Local Government Area.

“As l speak, l cannot ascertain whether there is anybody trapped, dead or alive, until when we conclude the search and rescue mission.

“For now, we are still on rescue mission to ensure that there is no life under the debris.

“Until we get to the zero level before we can make any further pronouncement,’’ he said.

He, however, said that the agency would conduct investigation to determine the quality of materials used to construct the building.

“As at Aug. 11, the three buildings under construction here were marked by the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) and the contractors served appropriately to stop construction.

“This collapse is out of defiance; however, necessary investigations will be done by appropriate agency after which it will act appropriately.

“LASEMA is here on search and rescue mission,’’ he said.

Akindele explained that before officials of the agency arrived at the scene, two people have already been rescue alive.

He said the agency was informed that the construction workers were already out before the collapse but that motorcycle rider sleep there.

He said his officials would do their best to ensure anybody who was trapped in the building was rescued.

A witness at the scene said that four people were still trapped while two persons were rescued before the arrival of emergency officials.

Thu Duc Overpass suffers collapse

September 15, 2015 05:06 PM

Part of the slip road leading to HCM City's Thu Duc Overpass suddenly collapsed on September 15.

Many drivers said they saw cracks on the road while travelling at around 7am. Then part of the road collapsed down the slope, pulling down 20-metres of railing.

Traffic police and other agencies attended the scene to direct traffic. However, at 11am, another part of the road collapsed so the police had to shut the overpass.

Vu Kien Thiet, director of the Urban Traffic Management Board 2 said Thu Duc Overpass was only opened in 2005 but it would now require repairing which could take up to a week.

School building collapses in central Nigeria killing four students

Sun Sep 13, 2015 4:57pm EDT

JOS, Nigeria

An Islamic school building collapsed in the town of Bukuru in Nigeria's Plateau state on Sunday afternoon, killing at least four students and injuring 14 others, the state coordinator of emergency services said.

"We are still working under the rubble for more bodies and injured," Abdulsalam Muhammed, the state coordinator for the National Emergency Management Agency, said.

The two-storey building collapsed while there were about 40 students of various ages inside, teacher Danlami Muhammed said.

"We rushed here to find out if our children are alive ... we only hope Jamila, my daughter and Saleh are not among the dead," father Ahmed Abubakar said, who was among the parents who went to the scene.

One of the parents said the building was poorly constructed by the local community and believed heavy rain had contributed to its collapse.

2 killed in building collapse in Egypt

Cairo, Sep 10 – At least two persons, including a child, were killed today when a five-story residential building collapsed in Egypt’s Assiut governorate.

The building collapsed in minutes, killing the wife of its owner and her one-year infant, officials said.

Security forces are currently searching for survivors trapped under the rubble.

The collapse was caused by unauthorised construction of several extra stories on the old building.

Building collapses are common in Egypt due to illegal extensions and failure to adopt construction guidelines.

Last year, 19 people were killed when an eight-story building collapsed in Egypt’s Matariya district.

4 Hurt When Hangar Collapses at Newark Liberty International Airport: Officials

Sept 09 2015

Four workers were hurt when an old cargo hangar collapsed at Newark Liberty International Airport Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.

The hangar, which was being prepared for demolition, collapsed at about 2 p.m., authorities said.

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman Joe Pentangelo said two of the four injured workers were seriously hurt, but they are expected to survive. The other two suffered minor injuries. All four were transported to a nearby hospital.

Nine workers were inside the building at the time and all are accounted for, Pentangelo said.

Chopper 4 footage from the scene showed several emergency crews around the damaged United Airlines hangar. Several people were seen in stretchers, though it appeared as if they are conscious.

There were no aircraft in the hangar when it collapsed. Engineers are inspecting the location.

The building is no longer owned by United Airlines; it was acquired by the Port Authority in 2005 for storage use. Recently, the Port Authority approved the hangar and two others for demolition.

Six hurt as structure collapses on Bryant U. campus

Six construction workers were hurt Tuesday morning as a building under construction fell over on the Bryant University campus in Smithfield.

A pile of steel I-beams and supports lay on the ground after the skeleton of a new indoor athletic center collapsed injuring several people.

A spokeswoman for the private university said workers were erecting the steel frame of a new, Indoor Practice Facility when the structure collapsed. Six workers were sent to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Rhode Island Hospital later reported the six were in good condition.

Smithfield Fire Chief Robert Seltzer says the call came in around 8:15 A.M.

“We’re not sure exactly what caused the building collapse to take place. Currently, everything’s safe at the scene,” Seltzer said. “We got everybody transported pretty quickly.”

A WPRO listener was playing tennis at Bryant when the collapsed occurred. He said he heard a loud noise of steel crashing and then a short time later emergency sirens.

“I thought maybe the crane had tipped over.”

“It was just a creaky sound, we heard a metal sound, a crunching,” said a man who witnessed the collapse did not want to give his name.

“It kept going, it seemed like there was almost like a domino effect. That’s what we felt. We felt the ground shake and everyhing, you know?” he said.

Chief Seltzer said the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration would conduct an investigation.

“The construction just started recently, there were erecting the steel. Obviously something this morning went wrong as they were trying to continue on with their job of putting the steel up and everything collapsed,” Seltzer said.

Two hours after the collapse, Bryant University Assistant Vice President of Communications, Elizabeth O’Neil released a statement saying:

“As you have no doubt already learned, a serious construction site accident occurred this morning at the indoor practice facility, located in the back of the Bryant campus adjacent to the baseball fields.

The steel which was being erected collapsed forward, resulting in at least six injuries. Thankfully, none of these appear to be life-threatening. No Bryant students or staff were near the site.

We are cooperating fully with authorities and will advise as more facts become available to us.

This incident will have no impact on the opening of school as students return this weekend and classes begin Sept. 8″

Collapsed signboard causes massive traffic jam

Big obstacle: The collapsed signboard blocking traffic flow in Klang.

KLANG: An overhead signboard near Batu 4 along Jalan Meru collapsed at about 6am yesterday, blocking access to the busy main road usually used by motorists on their way to work.

Cars and heavy vehicles were caught off-guard, causing a massive traffic snarl in the area.

North Klang traffic police officers cleared the debris and directed the traffic after being alerted.

Part of the road was reopened to motorists at about 8am, but there were still crawls as motorists slowed down to look at the collapsed structure.

North Klang deputy OCPD Supt Nor Omar Sappi said a lorry’s tipper rose suddenly and hit the signboard, causing the structure to collapse.

“No injuries have been reported,” he said.
