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.

At least 86 people were injured, two of them seriously, when the first floor of the Eyetu Fisheries building in the Port Elizabeth harbour collapsed on Thursday night.
Police captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg told AlgoaFM News that by late last night, emergency workers were still at the scene.
She says shift workers were crushed beneath the rubble, after the wooden mezzanine floor, which is used as storage space, collapsed onto the canteen area.

Janse van Rensburg says the incident happened during a change of shifts.

She says the metro's emergency services worked closely together to attend to the injured at the scene, before they were taken to various hospitals, adding that no fatalities were reported.
Janse van Rensburg says police are not investigating a crime, adding that Transnet National Ports Authority is likely to launch an investigation into the cause of the incident.

One Killed and Several Trapped in Northern Germany Building Collapse

One resident is killed and more are feared trapped under the rubble, after an apartment building collapses in Northern Germany. 2014-03-10 08:24 AM EST

An apartment block in the Northern German town of Itzehoe near Hamburg, collapsed on Monday leaving at least one resident dead and several other trapped under the rubble, local police said.

"An apartment building has collapsed completely. There is a massive pile of rubble, a neighbouring house has been greatly damaged. The debris is everywhere. Rescuers are working tirelessly to try and get to possibly trapped or buried people," said Christian Mandel, a spokesperson for the local rescue services.

"Currently there are eleven people who have been injured, some of them severely. They have been taken to local hospitals either by helicopter or ambulance," Mandel continued.

So far the cause of the explosion has not been determined.

Eye witnesses said they had noticed a smell of gas but authorities were so far unable to confirm whether the gas leak was the reason for the explosion that also left neighbouring houses with shattered windows.

Authorities confirmed they were expecting to find people possibly still trapped under the rubble.

10 workers die in building beam collapse in Bang Phli

Two bodies still trapped under collapsed building beam

Published: 25 Feb 2014 at 16.52
The death toll at the construction site in Bang Phli where a concrete beam collapsed on Tuesday was confirmed at 10, with another 16 reported injured

A concrete beam fell down at the building site, part of the expansion of the Ramathibodi Hospital's Chakri Naruebodindra medical centre near Suvarnabhumi Khlong 4, around noon on Tuesday.

Ruamkatanyu Foundation staff said the fallen beam linked Buildings 1 and 2 on the fourth floor. The beam, 20 by 15 metres and 30cm thick, fell to the second floor, landing on workers who were eating their lunch.

Two bodies remained under the debris. Rescuers said they were pierced by rebar rods.

The building structure at the north end was cracked and all scaffolding bent. Engineers said rescue was dangerous because there was a high danger the entire structure could collapse.

Rescue workers were trying to recover two bodies till trapped in the debris.

Two of the dead construction workers were confirmed to be Cambodian nationals, reports said.

Mahidol University, which operates Ramathibodi hospital, said in a statement later Tuesday that the cause of the collapse was the subsidence of soil around the elevator chute.

Italian-Thai Development Plc is the contractor and ACSE 110 Consortium is the project superviser.

The university pledged to investigate the accident and ensure compensation for the victims and their families.
