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.

Shoppers avoid falling masonry in Green Lanes
by Daisy Jestico Monday, October 31, 2011
5:02 PMPedestrians had a lucky escape when huge chunks of masonry plummeted onto a busy shopping parade.
Green Lanes was thronging with visitors at the Harringay Food Festival - with Rose Bakery pictured on the left.Residents claimed it was a “miracle nobody was killed” as bricks and mortar collapsed on to the pavement in Green Lanes, Harringay, at about 3.30pm on Friday.
It is said to be the third such incident on the same stretch of road in the last 18 months.
And it took place just weeks after the streets were full to bursting with visitors during the Harringay Food Festival on September 18.
Ian Sygrave, chairman of the Ladder Community Safety Partnership, said: “It was a miracle that nobody was killed. If this had happened during the food festival it just doesn’t bear thinking about.
“I fully appreciate that these are private properties but now we have had this happen three times in the last 18 months.
“These buildings are more than 120 years old and they are obviously going through a vulnerable phase. They need to be restored and repaired rather than just being pulled down - or waiting for them to fall apart.”
A decorative feature on a dormer window had crumbled off the flats above Rose Bakery, near the junction with Cavendish Road.
Haringey Council’s building controls department is currently investigating the source of the collapse, but it is thought to have been caused by damp in the roof of the building.
Rob Chau, of the Harringay Traders Association, said: “If this had happened six weeks ago we would have had 40-50 people injured.
“I was walking past there just 45 minutes earlier and there were lots of people around then so it’s extremely lucky.”
The street was filled with shoppers and cars when the incident took place but thankfully nobody was injured.
Police cordoned off Green Lanes while the debris was cleared from the road.
The manager of the Rose Bakery, who wanted to be known only as Eddy, said: “It just dropped down but luckily nobody was injured.
“We do have concerns because there are so many other places you can see where buildings are about to fall. This is all over Green Lanes.”

Landslide sweeps away part of Route 341 near L'Epiphanie
A landslide swept away part of Route 341 in L'Epiphanie Thursday afternoon (Oct. 28. 2011)
Updated: Fri Oct. 28 2011 10:29:15 PM
A landslide has caused extensive damage to the embankment of a rural highway in Lanaudiere.
Part of the embankment for Highway 341 near L'Epiphanie was swept away Thursday afternoon, and Quebec Civil Security thinks construction work is to blame.
Three heavy vehicles were swept away when a piece of earth dozens of metres long slid down a slope.
The land gave way in the middle of the afternoon in an area dotted with homes, one of which belongs to Sophie Morreau.
"We were in the car when we saw neighbours running," she said. "Then panic set in."
Construction crews had already started working on the embankment because of a fear of a landslide.
The earth in the area is extremely sandy, and coupled with the fact that a river runs along the highway means the land is very unstable. It's therefore no surprise that this isn't the first time a landslide has hit this exact spot.
One was in 2008 while the land was being leveled, destroying two houses, and another one nearby came close to bringing two more houses down in 2010.
"In 2008 two families were forced to move," says area resident Claude Bellerose. "I think there need to be more permanent evacuations."
Civil security says the work might have somehow triggered this particular slide. Experts spent Friday analysing the rest of the terrain and determining what needs to be done to prevent another slide.
But Morreau's confidence in their work is shaken.
"This is serious," she said. "I have a 14 year old son. I don't feel safe in my own home."

Main road to Tibet collapses, many vehicles trapped
Part of one of the main roadslinking remote Tibet with the outside world has collapsedfollowing heavy rain, trapping hundreds of vehicles but causingno casualties, Chinese state news agency Xinhua said onWednesday.
BEIJING, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Part of one of the main roads linking remote Tibet with the outside world has collapsed following heavy rain, trapping hundreds of vehicles but causing no casualties, Chinese state news agency Xinhua said on Wednesday.
A 50-metre long section of the road, which snakes through the mountains to connect Tibet with the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan, collapsed in Bomi County, Xinhua cited local police as saying.
"Rescuers were rushing to dig another road through the mountains to evacuate the cars and people as it will take too long to repair the collapsed road," the news agency added. "It is not known when traffic will resume."
The road was once the only way in or out of Tibet, Xinhua said. The government has since built a railway to the remote and restive Chinese region, along with other roads.

Road section collapses into 5-meter long hole
A man checks out a piece of collapsed road at Hengfeng Road and Chang'an Road, close to the Shanghai Railway Station, yesterday. The pit, 5 meters long and 2 meters wide, is as deep as 2 meters. The cave-in happened about noon.
A large piece of road surface in a busy downtown intersection collapsed suddenly yesterday in Shanghai, severely disrupting traffic but causing no injuries.
The local urban facility maintenance department said that loose sand and soil beneath the road likely was to blame. Workers were still doing the repair work yesterday afternoon.
The collapse was spotted about noon at Hengfeng Road and Chang'an Road, near the Shanghai Railway Station.
"Just in a glimpse, the road surface disappeared," said a witness, surnamed Zhang.
The hole, about 10 square meters and located in the middle of the intersection, was about 2 meters deep.
Police said no vehicle was passing by when the collapse occurred. Two lanes were closed to traffic with officers guiding the vehicle flow.
Officials with Zhabei District's work maintenance company said the area "has long been bothered by poor geological conditions."
The road surface was just paved with new asphalt on Wednesday night to cover a depressed area of the road, about 25-centimeters deep, detected earlier.
It's suspected that an underground wastewater pipeline broke and the water carried dirt and sand away, undermining the road.
Lots of problems. continuedhttp://www.shanghaidaily.com/nsp/Metro/2011/10/28/Road%2Bsection%2B...
