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.

15 people rescued, 30 trapped as building under construction collapses in Kisumu

At least 15 people were rescued after a shopping mall under construction collapsed on Wednesday evening in Kisumu.
Eight people, among them a school pupil, were rushed to hospital in critical condition.
The 4pm incident left 30 construction workers trapped in the rubble of the collapsed shopping mall, which was under construction.
By 10pm on Wednesday, 15 people had been rescued, according to the police.
Gunshots rent the air as the police dispersed the crowd at the scene, as it was slowing down recovery operations. The ensuing stampede left a child critically injured.
Three bulldozers were on the site ploughing through the rubble to recover bodies believed to have still been trapped.
Police working together with locals, Red Cross volunteers and the National Youth Service led the recovery operations.
Area OCPD Musa Kongoli, however, said it was not clear how many people remained trapped in the building as that would only be ascertained once the recovery was complete.
HAVING LUNCH
The workers are said to have been having a late lunch at the time the building collapsed.
Mr Raphael Otieno Omollo, a survivor said he shouted when one column of the house fell down at about 4pm.
In the confusion, some of his colleagues escaped. Those who did not hear his alarm were the ones who were trapped in the rubble.
“The house was almost complete and we were on the last floor. I was downstairs when I saw a column fall. I then shouted and before I could run away, the whole building fell trapping my colleagues,” he said.
According to Mr Omollo, the owner of the building had disappeared and could not be traced.
Ms Leah Auma, an eyewitness, said women who were supplying water to the site could also have been trapped inside the building.
Leaders from the county, among them governor Jack Ranguma and his deputy Ruth Odinga, visited the scene.
There was a problem of lighting initially as a blackout hampered the operations before the fire fighters provided generator-powered floodlights.

Thailand Road collapse: Death traps shut down
http://www.bangkokpost.com/learning/learning-from-news/579127/road-...
PATHUM THANI — Two sections of Leab Khlong 4 Road in Khlong Luang district have been closed to traffic after subsidence forced emergency repair crews to be called out.
District authorities cordoned off the road for fear of another fatal accident in the area. Last month a motorcyclist was killed and his pillion passenger badly hurt when he drove into a collapsed section of roadway in neighbouring Nong Sua district.
Officials were called to Leab Khlong 4 road on Friday when the first subsidence of about two metres deep and 50 metres long on the western side was found in Moo 2 village. They found another section of collapsed road of almost the same depth and width on the same day in Moo 8 village.

TWENTY vehicles plummet through Audi dealership's first floor onto workshop
Fire alarm sounded by staff 20 minutes earlier, after hearing loud bang
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3106512/20-cars-fall-Milton...
This was the extraordinary scene after 20 cars fell through the first floor of a car dealership onto a workshop yesterday.
The vehicles crashed through a 100ft by 65ft section of the upper floor at the Audi dealership in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, but staff were evacuated before the collapse and escaped unhurt.
Employees realised the danger and activated the fire alarm, prompting everyone to vacate the building in the Northfield area of the town about 20 minutes in advance of the collapse at 12.30pm.
Ian Wilson, from Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Fire and Rescue Service, said: ‘People working within a workshop heard a loud bang and promptly hit the fire alarm call point.’

Rescuers hunt residents of SW China collapsed building
GUIYANG, May 20 (Xinhua) -- Sixteen residents from an apartment building that collapsed partially are still not accounted for in Guiyang, capital of southwest China's Guizhou Province on Wednesday.
The third and fourth units of the No. 21 apartment complex in a residential community in Yunyan District collapsed at 11:30 a.m. due to a rain-triggered landslide, said the Guiyang city government.
An initial investigation showed 114 residents from 35 households live in the collapsed sections.
As of 5 p.m., 98 of the residents were confirmed safe. Sixteen others cannot be reached, but mobile phone signals of 15 of them were detected at the scene.
More than 100 rescuers are combing the debris with sniffer dogs and life detectors. A four-month baby was pulled out from the debris and rescued.
A man surnamed Zhang who lived on the ground floor was pulled out by rescuers. He told Xinhua that he was awakened by loud noises. He was about to run from the building when he was buried by falling debris.
Another resident who declined to give her name was worried about her daughter-in-law. "She lived on the ninth floor," she said. "I called, but couldn't reach her."
Residents of nearby buildings were evacuated after the accident.
In a separate case, seven were killed after a loess hill landslide buried nine people in four farmers' houses in north China's Shanxi Province on Tuesday evening. One was rescued and in stable condition. One remains trapped.

Heavy rains cause road to cave in Hancock County
May 18, 2015
HANCOCK COUNTY -- Two sections of Old Kiln Road in the Leetown community caved in several feet Saturday night after heavy rains flooded the area.
The cave-ins occurred between North Bienville Road and Katie Drive in a section of roadway that was constructed over a culvert, Emergency Management Agency Deputy Director John Evans said.
"It looks like the rain just washed away a lot of the dirt underneath it," Evans said.
No one was injured during the collapse.
South Mississippi received an average of about 2 inches of rainfall over the weekend and left several roads and low-lying areas flooded.
County Road Manager Vic Johnson said that area of Old Kiln Road received about 14 inches of water.
The culvert was already slated for an expansion project prior to Saturday's collapse.
Road crews have blocked all lanes of the road and secured the perimeter of the cave-in to keep people away from the hazard.
County supervisors are consulting with their engineer to determine when repairs can begin.

What is happening in Tooting? ANOTHER sign crashes onto street just yards from today's billboard collapse
From AM to PM: Two signs have collapsed just metres from one another
Another sign has collapsed in the centre of Tooting today, just yards away from the scene of a billboard collapse which pinned a woman to the ground.
This is the scene in Tooting tonight where a sign, which was situated above K&K Stationers, has crashed onto the path below, in Mitcham Road.
In the background of the photograph you can clearly see the wall of Age UK which was the scene of another sign collapse this morning.
The woman was pinned to the floor by the billboard thought to weigh at least a tonne. She was taken to St George's Hospital where she was treated for hip and leg injuries.
Witnesses said that the latest sign collapse took place at 9.40pm this evening and just missed a couple of people.
Graveney ward Councillors tonight called for safety checks on signs and billboards in Tooting after the second incident.
