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.

Toddler dies after plunging into underground sewer when city road collapsed
- Tragedy happened as 18-month-old boy and his mother were walking through Bryansck, Russia
January 9, 2012
A toddler is presumed to have died after he was swept into an underground sewage system when a road collapsed due to a ruptured water pipe yesterday.
The 18-month-old child's mother was pushing him in his buggy through the Russian city of Bryansck when the ground at a crossroads opened up beneath them.
The boy and his mother, a 26-year-old policeman's wife, plunged into the sewer.
Tragedy: A toddler died yesterday after a road in the Russian city of Bryansck collapsed, throwing him into an underground collecting tank for a sewage system
The woman was rescued, but the child was thrown from his pushchair and swept away by the current into a collecting tank for the sewage system.
He is today presumed dead.
While the woman did not sustain any serious injuries, she was rushed to intensive care in a state of severe shock.
The accident happened at a city crossroads in Bryansck (pictured)
Investigators say they are working to determine the cause of the accident, but suspect faulty construction of the system may be to blame.
Underground pipes carrying hot water occasionally burst in Russia, causing the ground above them to suddenly collapse to the peril of those walking above.
A criminal case has been opened into the death of the child.

India building collapse in Delhi kills five
The roof of a building has collapsed following a gas cylinder explosion in the Indian capital, Delhi, killing five workers.
At least four others were injured in the incident in the Mundka area in the city's north-west.
The explosion took place at 07:25 local time [01:55 GMT] when some of the labourers were cooking, police said.
The one-storey structure was weak and collapsed soon after the explosion, they said.
The injured have been taken to the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital.
Building collapses are not uncommon in Delhi.
In September, five people were killed and 25 injured when a building collapsed in the crowded Chandni Mahal area.
In November 2010, at least 67 people died and 100 were injured in a five-storey building collapse in the east of the city.
That disaster was blamed on shoddy construction, extra storeys allegedly being added illegally to the structure and water seepage from the nearby Yamuna river.

High Winds Cause Dickinson Building to Collapse
Jeremiah McDaniel | 1/3/2012
High winds have ripped through the state throwing debris in the air and causing problems for motorists, but in Dickinson the wind was powerful enough to cause a building to collapse.
The building was an almost completely framed structure on the south side of town. Workers were on the site when the building fell, but they all managed to get out of the way and no one was injured. The project manager says that they knew the wind was coming and took precautions, but their efforts didn`t help.
"We made sure to take necessary precautions for proper bracing and shoring, however, on this project mother nature with 60 mph gusts unfortunately took the structure down, but the silver lining was that no one was injured," said project manager Mike Odegaard.
Odegaard says that the bracing they put up actually caused more wind drag. The structure is almost a complete loss, but crews will start building again when they get all the rubble cleaned up.

Shops in Southampton sealed off after partial roof collapse
PART of a busy shopping precinct in Southampton has been sealed off after a section of building blew down in gale force winds.
The damage came as winds of up to 70mph battered the region causing widespread power cuts across Southampton and other parts of Hampshire.
A 12 foot section of masonry and brickwork including a large cornice bearing the words Market Place fell onto the pavement along Shirley High Street just before 9am today.
Two properties and two flats had been evacuated by the time fire fighters arrived to attempt to make the building safe.
Search and Rescue Teams had already been called to the properties which were affected by the partial collapse above two shops and two flats.
Remarkably no one was injured as a result of the falling masonry that was reported just after 9am.
The owners of one of the businesses affected Gasworks temporarily set up business across the road while structural engineers assessed the extent of the damage.
Bosses arrived at work to find the damage after they were alerted by a neighbouring business.
A spokesman said it was "very fortunate" that no one was at work when part of the building collapsed.
It is understood owners of the other affected business Dainty Tailors are on holiday.
Watch manager Rob Burns said due to the strength of the winds it was not safe for firefighters to attempt to get on the roof to assess the damage.
The area has been sealed off inside a police cordon and it is hoped the fire service will be able to return to the scene later today to see whether any more of the building is in immediate risk of collapse.

Scaffolding collapse kills two workers at Abu Dhabi site
http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/emergencies/scaffolding-collapse-...
Abu Dhabi: Two workers died and a third was seriously injured when their scaffolding collapsed from the seventh level of a building under construction opposite Al Maraya Cinema in the city.
The cause of the accident is yet unknown and the police said they have started their investigation. However, an eyewitness reported that the workers were standing on the scaffolding, which was level with the seventh floor, to load heavy equipment when it broke, plunging the workers to their death.
"The three workers fell from 40 metres high. The scaffolding was erected on an elevator ditch at the side which went three levels below the surface of the site," said A.K. from the site, who only gave his initials.
"One of the victims died instantly from severe head injuries as he fell on steel bars at the ground level. Emergency workers had difficulty identifying the man due to severe facial injuries," he said.
Article continues below
According to A.K., another worker was pronounced dead 30 minutes after the accident at the hospital where he was transported by emergency ambulance. He had fractures and severe internal injuries.
Cause not known yet
A worker at the site, who requested to remain anonymous, said the cause was unknown but added the heavy equipment which was supposed to be fixed by the workers was not the reason behind the scaffolding's collapse.
He confirmed that the scaffolding broke and fell from the seventh floor into the elevator ditch. However, he said only one workers died at the site and two were taken to Shaikh Khalifa Hospital.
"The accident happened shortly before 2:00pm, after the workers had completed their lunch break.
"A call from the hospital confirmed the death on arrival of the second worker. I think the third will survive as he sustained injuries that were not so major. The three workers were from the subcontinent region," he said.
The hospital refused to comment on the condition of the injured worker. A source from the hospital said police has started their investigations and the hospital was not authorised to give any information to the press.
