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.

90 children from Theatre Works escape 'terrifying' ceiling collapse at Thwaites Empire Theatre, Blackburn
TERRIFIED children had a lucky escape when a theatre ceiling collapsed above the stage where they were about to perform, reports the Bolton News.
Plasterboard fell into the lighting rigging over the stage at the Thwaites Empire Theatre, in Blackburn, while almost 90 children, aged three to 16, from Bolton and Bury-based Theatre Works were rehearsing their production of 'A Night At The Musicals'.
Fortunately, nobody was on stage at the time, but parents said the children who witnessed the incident were left "traumatised".
Eight children, aged four to seven, were just moments from going on stage to rehearse a dance piece from Mamma Mia, while the others sat watching in the auditorium.
The group are now hoping to find a venue that will let them perform the show for free, after putting in months of hard work.
Eight children, aged four to seven, were just moments from going on stage to rehearse a dance piece from Mamma Mia, while the others sat watching in the auditorium.
Emma Matthews, who runs Theatre Works with Lauren Bateman, said: "We grabbed the eight children next to us as the ceiling began to fall in and covered them with our bodies and then started to throw them out into the auditorium to a nearby adult, who escorted them quickly out of the building.
"There was lots of dust and debris falling onto the stage and visibility was impaired due to the black cloud of dust.
"Children in the audience, obviously very scared, saw the ceiling drop and a large dust cloud come towards them, so they ran in the opposite direction to the nearest exits. At the time everyone was terrified and didn't know what was happening."
The group are now hoping to find a venue that will let them perform the show for free, after putting in months of hard work.
The 35-year-old, from Little Lever, added: "We have lots of very upset children who worked so hard on this show and we have nowhere to do it. Better broken hearts than broken bones, but for us it's not good enough.
"With The Albert Halls closed at the moment we have no provision in Bolton for a theatre. Companies and schools are going out of the area, which is such a shame. We have so much performing arts in Bolton with no where to perform, it's ridiculous.
"We used to do our shows at The Met in Bury, which we have now outgrown. This show originally should have been at the Radcliffe Civic Suite which, after we booked it, we found out is now closing down. There must be somebody out there who can help us and give us a theatre to perform our Night at The Musicals show in. We had sold out the entire venue for our show and have all been left severely out of pocket."
Darren Armstrong, whose six-year-old daughter Klarisse was among those inside the theatre, added: "It was very scary and it could have gone horribly wrong. She was absolutely traumatised. It has clearly had an effect on her. She was completely covered in dust."
Michael Berry, chairman of the Thwaites Empire Theatre, said: “Fortunately no-one was on stage when the plasterboard came down. We are not sure why part of the ceiling fell in but we are bringing in a structural engineer to carry out a full survey to ensure that there will be no further problems. We are working closely with the Health and Safety Executive which has been notified as the safety of our audiences is paramount. For the full inspection to be carried out and to allow us to repair the ceiling we have no choice but to cancel all shows at the theatre for a couple of weeks.
"The Theatre Works are a lovely group and it was the first time they were using our theatre. Thankfully, there was nobody injured at all."

Massive rescue effort launched for survivors of building collapse
April 12, 2016, Tuesday
Some of the 400 rescue workers search through the rubble of a building on Xixia Road in Shanghai’s Songjiang District that collapsed. The local government declined to say if anyone is believed to be trapped, but said a mother and her son were being treated for bone fractures after being hurt in the incident. The three-story, mixed-use building collapsed shortly before 1pm yesterday. The cause is unknown, though it is believed a construction team was working on the ground floor. — Reuters
TWO people were hurt yesterday when a three-story mixed-use building in Songjiang District collapsed, the district government said via Weibo.
The two lower floors of the property, at 61 Xixia Road, were occupied by retail outlets and the top floor by apartments, it said.
Although all of the people known to be in the building at the time of the collapse have been accounted for, about 400 rescue workers were sent to support the rescue effort.
A Songjiang government official declined to answer any of Shanghai Daily’s questions about the incident, saying information and updates would be provided only via Weibo.
The two people injured were identified only as a 22-year-old woman and her toddler son. Both are being treated for bone fractures at a local hospital, but are said to be doing well.
According to a report by the news website thepaper.cn, the mother and son were rescued after a pregnant woman who was left stranded but unhurt in the incident alerted police to their whereabouts.
A separate report by Songjiang News said that the woman who raised the alarm was the sister of the woman who was injured in the collapse.
While the government has released no information about what caused the building to crumble, it said that renovation work had been under way in one of the ground floor premises.
Eight workers have been confirmed safe, as too have the 15 registered residents of the apartments, it said.
The government said, however, that it had found “signs of life” under some of the rubble, though declined to elaborate.
A total of 150 armed police officers, 150 regular police, 100 firefighters and three ambulances were sent to aid the rescue effort, thepaper.cn said.
The building’s landlord and the workers from the renovation team are helping police with their enquiries, the government said.

9 injured in construction site collapse near Willis Knighton
Friday, April 8th 2016, 11:13 am EDTFriday, April 8th 2016, 7:56 pm EDT
SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) -
Nine workers were pulled from a collapsed building on a hospital construction site in Shreveport Friday morning.
Shreveport Fire Chief Scott Wolverton said 18 workers have all been accounted for at the site. None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening.A Shreveport Fire Department Urban Rescue team was called to the scene, but Wolverton said there was "no lengthy extrication required on any patient" when they arrived. Most were taken to Willis-Knighton North on site, but Wolverton said some were taken to other area hospitals due to the sheer number of casualties.
"The most difficult part was determining whether we had anybody trapped or not. We needed communication with the people that were on scene to account for all employees on site," said Wolverton, who added there was no lengthy extrication required at the scene, but a large number of patients needed triage and treatment on scene before they were taken to area hospitals.
"We responded and got on scene and saw the magnitude and in sizing up the scene, we recognized that we could have a serious number of patients and again, I think there's probably some divine intervention here that we don't have a worse outcome and things worked out very well."
More than 30 firefighters were called to the scene of a construction accident near Willis-Knighton North Hospital the 2600 block of Greenwood Road just before 10 a.m. article continues............

Building In Dramatic Collapse In Tourist Heart Of Istanbul
Istanbul, Turkey: A five-storey building collapsed spectacularly in a matter of moments in the heart of Istanbul Friday, sending passers-by fleeing in terror, local media reported.
A five-storey building collapsed spectacularly in a matter of moments in the heart of Istanbul.
A video of the incident showed people standing by, phones at the ready as the building near Taksim square -- a popular hub for tourists and shoppers -- began to rumble.
A white truck is seen frantically backing away, appearing to escape just in time as the building crumbles to the ground in one fell swoop, slamming into buildings across the road and scattering the curious bystanders.
The Dogan news agency said the building was empty, and that no-one was believed to be trapped by the debris, however disaster teams were dispatched to the site as a precaution.
A similar incident occurred in February when a five-storey building collapsed near Istiklal Caddesi, a famous shopping street in the heart of Turkey's biggest city.
Residents of the city remain on edge after a suicide bomber killed four people and injured dozens in an attack on Istiklal avenue on March 19.
In 1999 a massive earthquake in the north-western Izmit region which left more than 17,000 dead exposed numerous weaknesses in building construction in the country, such as the use of low-quality cement and the lack of quality control.
