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.

Updated 23 minutes ago

Crews rushed to a North Philly street Tuesday after a building, which was under construction, crumbled to the ground.

Police said the front of the structure on north 18th Street near Page Street gave way just before 11 a.m. Tuesday.

City workers had reportedly been working at the site to convert the property for use as student housing for the university.

Police said an adjacent building was evacuated after it also was damaged by the collapse.

Utility crews were sent to the scene due to downed power lines.

The collapse of a convention center being built northwest of the Saudi capital left more than 50 workers trapped under rubble on Monday, official media said.

The collapse "happened at noon and resulted in more than 50 workers being trapped", the Saudi Press Agency said, adding that four wounded were recovered from the building site for Qassim University.

Bandar al-Roshodi, the university spokesman, told Saudi television news channel Al-Ekhbariya that the workers were mostly from Pakistan.

"Until now we are searching," he later told AFP.

The trapped workers were of "different nationalities," Roshodi said. Asked about the chances of more survivors, he said: "We have hope, God willing."

Pictures from the scene showed a sprawling but low-level construction site, where many steel support rods had collapsed along with other parts of the structure.

Comment by Yvonne Lawson on April 21, 2015 at 7:03am: Hundreds of staff at Royal Courts of Justice and London School of Economics evacuated again as building being demolished collapses injuring a 56-year-old workman
Six-storey structure collapsed this afternoon in Holborn, central London
Site is just yards from where cable fire caused chaos earlier this month

Hundreds of staff at the Royal Courts of Justice and London School of Economics were evacuated again today after a building due to be demolished collapsed 'like a pancake' injuring a 56-year-old workman.

Workers underneath the six-storey structure fled for their lives after the fifth, fourth and third floors crashed down on to the rest of the building - sending a huge cloud of dust into the air.

The terrifying incident is just yards from where an underground cable fire ripped through Holborn on April 1 bringing parts of central London to a standstill and costing local firms £40million.

Workmen have been on site for around five months and demolition was in progress when the collapse occurred.

Mr Kennedy added: 'There a stretch around 15 to 20m that's collapsed. We've been here since December, the building was seven floors and we've gone down three.

'There's some heavy machinery on the higher floors, we use a machine called a muncher that chews through the walls, it's like a big claw, that may have fallen down.

'There's been a lot of building work around here but this is far enough away I would be surprised if that had anything to do it.'

2 killed, 12 injured in Chile nightclub building collapse

SANTIAGO: Two people were killed and 12 injured during a concert at a nightclub in downtown Santiago after the building collapsed, authorities said early on Friday.

Seven of the injured had life-threatening injuries, according to a spokesman for the national emergency office ONEMI. They were taken to health centers for treatment.

Initial evidence suggests that the collapse was caused by the building’s capacity being exceeded, according to police.

“It is an authorized club,” Police Chief Hugo Insulza told reporters.

“What happened was that more people were in the club than should have been present,” and part of the building structure collapsed, he added, insisting that no stampede took place.

More than 200 people were taken off the premises by security forces.

“There was a crush of people. Even after the venue reached its full capacity, people kept pushing to get in. That led to the collapse of a containment fence that fell on people inside,” an ONEMI official said.

The club’s administrator was placed under arrest pending an investigation.

A punk concert was taking place at the venue, and an unspecified British band was participating, local media reported.

Retaining wall collapsing at Confluence Project site
Posted: Apr 14, 2015 10:43 PM EDT

Eau Claire (WQOW) - A major downtown Eau Claire project is just getting off the ground and part of it is starting to crumble.

Workers first noticed cracks in the retaining wall lining the Eau Claire River near the site of the Confluence Project's mixed use building Monday night.
Last year a second wall was built on top of the original wall, which is more than one hundred years old. Project engineers say they thought the original was stable enough to hold the addition. The project's manager says the cause of the collapse is not known at this time and they are studying the issue trying to determine what repairs can and will be made.
"It will add costs to the project or to the engineers or whomever is responsible for it, yes that's true," said Matt Faulkner with Market and Johnson. "We don't know a timeline and we have our team of engineers who originally designed it looking into this wall and what they can do and what our options are for removal and replacement."

If the wall does fall into the river, Market and Johnson would be responsible for the clean up and any costs associated with that. The construction manager says work at the mixed use building should not be affected by the wall's collapse.
