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.

Mar 23, 2016- Five people including three Australians were injured when an under construction building of Mandali Higher Secondary School collapsed in Phulkharka, Dhading district on Wednesday.

The building damaged by the massive earthquake of April 25, 2015, was being reconstructed. French citizen Thomas Waladrust had invested in the reconstruction of the school without the approval of the District Disaster Management Committee where the three Australians were the designers.

“The woods from the roof crumbled and fell upon six people, who were later rescued by the locals and police,” said Police DSP Sharad Kumar Khatri.

Three of the injured are said to be critical.

Building partially collapses in Over-the-Rhine

4:57 PM, Mar 20, 2016

CINCINNATI – A building partially collapsed in Over-the-Rhine Sunday.

No one was inside the vacant building on Walnut Street near 13th when it happened at about 2 p.m., officials said.

Crews from Duke Energy worked to cut nearby gas line so neighbors will be safe if more of the building collapses. At the direction of a city engineer, workers didn't a jackhammer in order to avoid more damage.

For now, the building is believed to be stable, officials said. The owner has a meeting with a structural engineer Monday.

Normal Miller, the building owner, said he'd had the structure reinforced about 10 years ago.

He "had no idea that the rear of the building was anywhere near what it was," he said.

Miller said he'd been planning to renovate the building, which was built in the early 20th century, and rent it out. He will rebuild the damaged rear portion, he said.

Christine Douglas owned an ice cream shop in the building for eight years. They moved out and was the last tenant there.

"I know the building very well," Douglas said. "It's a blessing to be out here and be able to speak on it."

Neighbor Mario Tremblay said he wasn't surprised by the collapse. It also happened to a nearby building a few months ago.

"These buildings are 130 years-old," Tremblay said. "They need some help."

Comment by Howard on March 20, 2016 at 9:08pm: Roadway Subsidence Epidemic in Thailand (Mar 7)

A taxi driver and his passenger were safe but shocked when a canal-side road they were on suddenly subsided in Pathum Thani province on Monday.

The incident happened on Leab Khlong 14 Road in tambon Bung Nam Rak of Thanyaburi district around noon.

The eight-metre-wide road subsided some two metres deep and about 80 metres long and the taxi was found trapped in the descended section.

Driver Boonlorm Pongsamran, 54, said he was two kilometres away from his passenger's destination when the slightly cracked road where he was on suddenly slid towards the nearby canal. His taxi fell and could not be driven up. He and his passenger ran out of the vehicle before contacting police, Mr Boonlorm said.

Another nearby local canal-side road, Leab Khlong 13, subsided in Thanyaburi district last Tuesday, March 1.

The long section of road subsided suddenly around 1:30 pm, creating a hole about four metres deep and 120 metres long.

Authorities ordered the indefinite closure of the collapsed eastern lane of the Thanyaburi-Lam Luk Ka Road following alongside Khlong 13 canal in tambon Bung Nam Rak of Thanyaburi district of this central province.

The March 1 subsidence happened about 500 metres from a section which collapsed last year, causing a truck carrying machinery to overturn, she said.

In adjacent Ayutthaya province, sporadic subsidence in about 100 locations was reported on 20km-long Ban Krod-Ban Pho Road in tambon Ban Krod of Bang Pa-in district on Monday.

On Sunday, around 100m on Leab Khlong Lam Ree Road in Nonthaburi province subsided.

The five-metre-wide concrete road was built and handed over last month. It runs along the presently shallow Lam Ree canal in Bang Bua Thong district.
