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.

371
Several cars parked outside a car dealership in Chicago have been buried under tons of salt after a wall of an overfilled salt factory next door collapsed. As unlucky it is to spill salt, no one was injured in the incident.

The Morton Salt plant in Chicago is known for its signature rooftop sign, "When it Rains it Pours," and for its logo which features a hand-drawn girl with an umbrella scattering salt from a container. It was developed to show Morton salt was free flowing even in rainy weather. On Tuesday morning the weight of the free flowing salt forced a wall down on several cars at an Acura car dealership. There were no injuries

The general manager at the Acura car dealership said they were calling customers to tell them their cars were buried underneath road salt.

"Most of them are kind of surprised when we say we will send you pictures and that you can see it on the news tonight," General Manager Noble Jones told DNAinfo.

ones said Morton’s had reached out to them and said they will inspect the building and work with the dealership to clean the spill.

The Chicago Department of Buildings Director of Public Affairs said in a released statement "a preliminary inspection determined that salt inside the building structure was piled too high causing the exterior wall to fail."

Morton Salt produces table and specialty salts and ice melters for road/highway use. It is North America’s leading producer and marketer of salt, according to the company’s website.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 24 — Two workers remain trapped under the rubble in the latest collapse to hit LRT extension project, according to rescuers, after it was earlier feared as many as four were caught in the incident near Putra Heights in Subang.

Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operation Harul said a K-9 unit is currently aiding rescuers in locating the two workers.

“When we reached earlier, there were about eight people were working where the concrete had fallen,” he told reporters outside the construction site.

He added that four escaped with light injuries while two others were unhurt. All six, believed to be migrant workers from Bangladesh, have been sent to hospitals for treatment.

“Now we believe still two more victims are still trapped under the rubble and we have moved the STORM unit from Shah Alam and the Subang Jaya and Puhong Fire and Rescue Department to assist with rescue works,” he said.

STORM is the department’s Special Tactical Operation Rescue unit.

Mohd Sani added, however, that the victims’ conditions were currently unknown.

According to the Fire and Rescue Department earlier, the mishap occurred at 4.29pm today during a concrete pour for the train depot at Kuala Sungai Baru.

The department earlier said that three victims were trapped in the collapse, but Prasarana Bhd, the operator of the LRT line, later issued a statement saying that four people were thought to be stuck under the rubble.

Prasarana also said the accident took place when the formwork and scaffolding collapsed during the concreting of the deck slab for the train depot.

Today’s collapse is the latest to hit the LRT Line Extension Project (LEP) that has an eventful history, with several cases of falling structures including one fatal incident.

Last March last year, a man was killed when a 10-tonne piece of construction equipment fell from a crane used for the LRT extension and crushed his car along Jalan Lapangan Terbang Subang.

In June this year, two people were hurt when a metal beam fell from a crane and onto their vehicle.

Construction of the Putra Heights terminal began in 2011 as a part of the LEP, which involves additions to the existing Ampang and Kelana Jaya LRT network.

The Sri Petaling and Kelana Jaya stations are expected to be extended to Putra Heights, which will be featured as “an integrated station” where the two lines meet.

According Prasarana, the extension to the Ampang line - which passes through residential and commercial areas in Bukit Jalil, Bandar Kinrara, Puchong, Kampung Sri Aman and

Putra Heights - will be extended for 18.1 kilometres.

Meanwhile, the Kelana Jaya line will stretch to cover another 17.4km passing through Lembah Subang, Subang Jaya, USJ and Putra Heights.

Investigation launched into silo collapse

December 17, 2014 8:34 AM

TARRYTOWN - New safety concerns are surfacing about the new Tappan Zee Bridge after a piece of equipment collapsed and brought construction to halt.

Three silos toppled like dominos on one of two floating concrete plant barges at the construction site yesterday. The silos, big tube-like structures, hold the raw materials that make up cement.

A spokesperson for Tappan Zee Constructors, the group that is building the new $3.9 billion bridge, says a failure in the one concrete storage silo tipped and caused two other silos on the barge to bend and collapse as well. Concrete pumping has been suspended at both plants.

Tappan Zee Constructors sent out a written statement that reads in part, "All workers are safe and representatives from the New York Department of Environmental Conservation and engineers from TZC and the New York State Thruway Authority are on the scene assessing the situation. Safety and environmental stewardship are our top priorities as we continue to investigate this incident."

According to the Department of Environmental Conservation, no cement spilled into the river.
