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.

Russian military barracks in Siberia collapses into rubble, kills 23 men trapped inside

Dmitry Feoktistov / AP PhotoA military barrack with collapsed ceiling is seen at a base in Omsk, Russia, Monday, July 13, 2015. The ceiling collapsed Monday, causing four stories to crumble. Rescuers searched for hours for victims trapped under the debris of an airborne troops training center following the collapse that occurred in the early hours of the morning.

MOSCOW — The ceiling of a Russian military barracks collapsed in Siberia on Monday, causing four stories to crumble and killing 23 young men trapped inside.

Rescuers searched for hours for victims trapped under the debris of an airborne troops training centre in Omsk following the collapse that occurred in the early hours of the morning.

Nineteen people were injured. Authorities sent 10 seriously injured victims to Moscow for treatment while the Kremlin offered condolences to the families of the deceased.

The defence ministry wouldn’t speculate on the cause of the accident but the footage and video from the scene showed an entire section of the building lying in ruins. Ministry spokesman Gen.-Maj. Igor Konashenkov said the building was renovated in 2013 but he insisted that could not have caused the collapse.

Residential Building Collapses in Perm, Killing 2

A section of a five-story apartment building collapsed in the Russian city of Perm on Saturday night, killing two septuagenarians and injuring four other residents, the Interfax news agency reported.

"Six people were affected by the collapse: two have died, two were treated on the spot, and two people were hospitalized in moderately grave conditions," Health Ministry spokesman Oleg Salagay told Interfax.

Both of the victims were reportedly in their twilight years — one, who died in the hospital, was born in 1938 and the other, whose body was found amid the rubble of the fallen building, was born in 1941.

Interfax reported that renovations of an office on the first floor of the building — which could have taken a toll on its load-bearing capacity — may have been to blame.

A criminal case has been launched on charges of rendering services that failed to meet safety standards. The executive director of the organization responsible for maintaining the Soviet-era brick building was detained and interrogated Sunday morning.

Residents were quickly evacuated from the building, though some have already been permitted to return home based on investigations of different sections of the building.

Mathematical Institute Collapses in Central Tbilisi, Kills Four

Several floors of the Mathematical Institute located on Apakidze street behind the Sports Palace collapsed earlier today, killing four people.

The Special security and Emergency Management Agency claim that the four people who died in the collapse were workers who were dismantling the building. Three died at the time of the collapse while a fourth person was taken to hospital with injuries and died shortly after.

According to the same Agency, the building collapsed in the early afternoon. Locals claim the building had recently been privatized and the owner was planning to build a hotel in its place.

Georgia’s Interior Ministry launched an investigation into the incident according to Article 240 of Georgia’s Criminal Code, which refers to violation of security regulations while conducting construction or other kinds of work.

Twelve Dead in China Factory Collapse

by Naharnet Newsdesk 11 hours ago

Twelve people died after a shoe factory collapsed in eastern China, state media reported Sunday, with more than 40 escaping on their own or being rescued.

More than 50 people were in the four-story building in the city of Wenling in Zhejiang province when it came down on Saturday afternoon, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

Thirty-three suffered injuries, four of them serious, the report said. Nine others escaped unharmed, it added.

The cause of the collapse was being investigated.

"There was no premonition," the report quoted worker Yang Zhongkun as saying. "I heard a 'bang' and saw the building collapse."

Yang added that water flowed down from a large fishing pool on the roof of the building, while other employees said leaking water was reported before the building gave way, Xinhua said.

A total of 53 fire trucks, 302 rescuers and five rescue dogs responded to the collapse, the report said.

Photos circulating on Chinese social media showed a man being carried on a stretcher by what appeared to be police officers, while rescuers and other personnel stood on top of the rubble.

Building collapses and other industrial accidents are not uncommon in China, where many structures and facilities are old, safety procedures can be lax and rebuilding has not kept up with the country's remarkable economic growth.

China's top safety watchdog in May blamed poor construction and weak safety standards for a fire at a nursing home that left 38 people dead.

In April, almost 30,000 people were evacuated after a fire broke out in a Chinese chemical plant which blazed for nearly 50 hours before the flames were finally extinguished.

And in November, a fire at a coal mine in northeastern China killed 26 workers, in one of the country's most highly accident-prone industries.

Several Darlington streets closed after road collapses

Posted: 06.30.2015 at 11:21 AM

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has closed about four streets in the area around Wells and Orange streets in Darlington because of a road cave-in.

A SCDOT worker on scene said the cave-in is about 9 feet deep.

The worker added that the road could have collapsed because of a problem with a drainage pipe.

He said they've replaced the pipe and are working to fill in the hole.

He expects the process to take about three hours.

SCDOT workers said this is the second time in recent weeks there's been a cave-in near Wells Street.

We've called Darlington City officials and SCDOT to get additional information about what's causing the road to collapse.

We'll update you when new details come in to the newsroom.

Four trucks were on the raised slip road in Guangdong when it fell on Friday morning

One person was killed and four injured after a raised slip road carrying trucks on a large highway in southern China collapsed.

A 70-metre elevated section of the road in Heyuan in Guangdong province fell at about 3am on Friday morning, China National Radio reported.

Four trucks delivering sand from eastern Jiangxi province were on the raised section of the road when it gave way, the Heyuan Evening News reported.

A 33-year-old driver told the newspaper he suddenly felt the road tilt and jump out of his cab to safety.

A body was recovered two hours after the accident.

The injured were sent to hospital with broken bones. All are said to be in a stable condition.

He Zhongyou, the Communist Party secretary in Heyuan, went to the scene of the accident on Friday morning and has ordered an investigation.

The section of the Guangdong to Jiangxi highway was opened to traffic in December 2005.

Five-storey building collapses in Apatrapa

It is unclear how many people were in the building at the time of the collapse but there are fears that some people are trapped under the debris.

Building collapses not a rare thing There have been several building collapses in recent years, often attributed to poor contsruction work on these structures.
