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.

Seven injured in structure collapse of framework at Muskrat Falls

The Canadian Press
May 30, 2016 03:48 AM

MUSKRAT FALLS, N.L. - Seven workers were injured in the collapse of a structure used in the pouring of concrete at a building at the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project in Labrador, the contractor said Monday.

Matthew Pike, spokesman for Astaldi Canada, said in an email that the framework supporting concrete that was being poured collapsed at about midnight. He said the accident occurred in the draft tube No. 2 area of the powerhouse during the night shift.

"Seven employees received first aid treatment at the site, with one employee sent to the Labrador Health Centre in Happy Valley-Goose Bay for a further assessment," he said. "None of the injuries at this time are classified as serious."

He offered no reason for the cause of the collapse, which spilled wet concrete on the workers.

Pike said work in the draft tube area of the powerhouse has been suspended while an investigation is underway by the company, Nalcor Energy and Occupational Health and Safety officials.

Nalcor Energy spokeswoman Karen O'Neill said in an email that company officials were gathering information at the site of the hydroelectric project.

Gilbert Bennett, vice-president of the Lower Churchill Project, issued a statement saying any recommendations stemming from the probe into the accident will be followed.

"We will ensure a full safety investigation is completed and that the contractor and its workers implement all safety recommendations that might be identified following this incident," he said.

The accident comes amid cost overruns, delays and the sudden departure of former Nalcor Energy president and CEO Ed Martin, along with questions over his departure package.

Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Dwight Ball asked the province's auditor general on Sunday to review a $1.4-million severance payment made to Martin.

Dwight Ball said he is referring the issue of Martin's severance package to "an independent outside agency" at the recommendation of the provincial justice department.

Martin abruptly resigned from the provincial Crown corporation behind the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project in a cloud of controversy that has enveloped the house of assembly for more than a month.

The province has spent almost $4.8 billion building the dam and powerhouse on the Lower Churchill River, the largest publicly funded project in its history.

Stan Marshall, the new head of Nalcor, said recently there's little chance the troubled hydro project will be cancelled despite the soaring costs and delays.

He is assessing cost and schedule overruns for a full status update he hopes to deliver in late June, and could include replacing the major construction contractor, Astaldi.

Two 'lucky to be alive' after hotel flattened in horror collapse

THIS is the devastating scene after a hotel COLLAPSED and narrowly avoided two shoppers.

Published 28th May 2016

TWITTER
FLATTENED: The wreckage after the shop collapse this morning

The Seasham Harbour View Hotel in Durham collapsed straight onto the street as residents walked past while doing Bank Holiday shopping.

People watched in horror as the entire front of the building collapsed onto the pavement – narrowly missing two shoppers.

People were sitting either side having coffees when the rubble began raining onto the seafront footpath.

The hotel was hit by a huge fire in September last year and work was underway to demolish it when it fell to the ground this morning.

Shops and cafes on the street were shut amid the mayhem.

Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service were called to the scene at 10.50am today, they confirmed.

The firefighters attended following a call from a member of the public and made the building safe.

Shaun Sparks, who saw the incident happen told The Echo: "Was out on a Saturday morning jaunt on my road bike. It literally happened just before I rode past.

"Got covered in dust off the collapse. Apparently there was a couple that were just on the pavement as it happened. They were luckier."

The case has now been handed over to demolition experts and council officials.

Kenya police: 6-story residential building collapses in rain

Associated Press
April 29, 2016 Updated: April 29, 2016 7:45pm

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A six-story residential building in a low income area of the Kenyan capital collapsed Friday under heavy rain and flooding, trapping an unknown number of people in the rubble, Kenyan officials said.

A search-and-rescue team managed to pull three children and an adult out from the remains of the building in the Huruma area, the Kenya Red Cross said. It was not immediately clear whether there were fatalities.

The Red Cross said 150 building units and adjacent homes were affected.

Live TV footage showed the National Youth Service and firefighters removing stones by hand and a crowd cheering when a child was removed from the rubble.

Hours-long traffic jams caused by flooded roads delayed rescue teams trying to reach the scene, Japheth Koome, Nairobi's police chief, said. Kenya is in the midst of its April-May rainy season.

Because of a high demand for housing in Nairobi, some property developers bypass building regulations to cut costs and maximize profits. The Architectural Society of Kenya has estimated that 50 percent of structures in Nairobi are not up to code.

President Uhuru Kenyatta last year ordered an audit of all the buildings in the country to see if they are up to code after eight buildings collapsed, killing at least 15 people.

The report from the audit by the National Construction Authority found that 58 percent of buildings in the capital were unfit to live in. The majority of Nairobi's population live in low income areas or slums.
