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.

Three killed in building collapse near Agartala
Three workers were killed after a building collapsed near Agartala city on Wednesday. The incident which left four workers critically wounded occurred at Jogendranagar area in the afternoon.

“Several workers were engaged in construction of a private building at Kumor Para in Jogendranagar. One part of the building suddenly fell as an effect of heavy rains”, a senior fire service official said.

“Three people died at the scene and four were shifted to GB Hospital. The construction method was faulty leading to collapse”, the official added.

Incessant rains lashed other parts of the State. Water logging disrupted normal life and business in Agartala city.

Owner of the house, who was present there when it collapsed, narrowly escaped the tragedy. Fire service personnel could not immediately reach the spot as there was no fire station nearby and fire tenders were called from a city station.

Doctors said emergency medical facilities were extended to the injured workers. The state government has ordered an enquiry into the incident.

Three workers were killed and 11 injured when a building under construction collapsed in Kengeri Satellite Town on Monday morning.

The labourers were constructing a three-storey marriage hall at Bandeswamy Math in Kommagatta. The moulding of the second floor’s ceiling was under way when it collapsed. At least 25 workers were on the roof when the accident occurred at around 10 a.m. Some workers fell from the roof while others on the ground floor were trapped under the debris.

Fire and Emergency Services personnel along with advanced rescue vehicles rushed minutes after the collapse. Officials said three bodies had been removed from the debris while a few injured workers were taken to nearby hospitals.

Labourers at the site said over 100 workers from Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka were at work for the last six months. Some 70 workers were on the ground floor mixing cement and doing other work. Some 25 workers were on the roof. Lalchand (30), one of the labourers injured, toldThe Hindu: “All I remember is that the building collapsed and I was trapped under the debris till some people pulled me out.” The injured were rushed to Rajarajeshwari hospital and Shreya hospital nearby.

The victims have been identified as Venkateshappa (40) from Andhra Pradesh, Shivanna (25) from Gulbarga and Sumit Mondal Khapari (24) from Bihar. Shivanna, who was laying the concrete on the roof, came plummeting down while the other two workers were working on the centring and were trapped underneath the debris.

Police suspect a weak centring led to the collapse. A senior official said the centring was built of wood for a height of 25 feet.

This rendered the building unstable, they said. It was a serious case of negligence on the part of the building authorities, the police added. It is owned by the Eka Bilva Bande Veerashaiva Math.

Cases have been booked under Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) against contractor Krishnamurthy, centring supervisor Murthy, engineer Jagannath Rao and Sachidananda Swami of the Math. Murthy and Krishnamurthy have been arrested.

New Delhi, Aug 4: A 100-year-old dilapidated building housing offices, shops and godowns collapsed on Saturday night in Delhi's Chandni Chowk, triggering off a minor fire. Nobody was injured, police and fire officials said.

The building named B M Shah, bang opposite the famous Gauri Shankar temple in Chandni Chowk, houses several hundred shops, offices and godowns, where crores of rupees worth business used to be transacted.
Local residents said, a portion of the building began to lean on Saturday afternoon and the local municipal corporation officials were informed, but being a weekend, none of the officials turned up.

At around 1 am, the five-storeyed building suddenly started collapsing and police and fire brigade were called in.
A godown inside the building caught fire due to short circuit. Firemen removed the rubble to extinguish the fire.
The remaining front portion of the old building is also on the verge of collapse, with shutters of shops leaning out.

The Moscow Times

A man and a woman died in Barnaul after the front wall of a three-story apartment building collapsed, a news report said Friday.

The incident happened on Ulitsa Emilia Alekseyeva at around 2:56 p.m. and the bodies of Valery Zhukov, 60, and Lyudmila Dostovolova, 64, were uncovered 15 minutes later during the rescue operation, the regional emergencies office said.

Pieces of masonry had started to come loose and fall off the day before the fatal collapse, but despite the warning signs some residents refused to leave the building at the authorities' request, Interfax reported.

The video footage shows the rescue team looking for survivors in the debris.

The building will now be completely demolished and the 21 surviving residents have been resettled in temporary housing.

Alexander Karlin, the republic of Altai's governor, said 50,000 rubles ($1,500) will be given to each family member and 500 thousand rubles to the families of the deceased.

Officials have opened a criminal investigation on charges of causing the death of two or more people, which carries a maximum sentence of four years in prison.

"I gave instructions to look thoroughly into the events and determine the degree of responsibility of officials," Karlin said in a statement.

RIA Novosti has reported 26 instances of buildings collapsing so far this year. The wall of another building in Barnaul partially collapsed in March.

20 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway closed due to large crack in road

Posted on: 8:04 am, July 15, 2013,

Officials said 20 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway is closed due to a large crack running down its center in Buncombe County.

The road is closed from Milepost 375 to Milepost 355 at N.C. 128 near Mount Mitchell State Park.

The crack is about 6’ deep and 100’ long, officials said.

Park rangers believe it opened up because of the recent amounts of rain.

The bank below the roadway is also starting to slide.

“Safety for visitors and the public, we’re not sure how much more this is (going to) move or if we’re (going to) lose the whole surface up here. And then further we’ve had maintenance supervisors out here today on site. We’ve got engineers coming in to do an assessment.”

Officials are not sure when the Parkway will reopen.

July is typically the second-busiest month for the Parkway.
