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 10 people have died and 12 others injured after a two-storey hotel collapsed in southern India.

More are believed to be trapped inside the rubble in the Hyderabad building, while another 20 people have been rescued from the wreckage.

Police official Anurag Sharma said more people are feared to be trapped in the debris of the City Light Hotel.

Mr Sharma said rescue operations are continuing at the site, after the concrete roof collapsed at around 6.30am local time this morning.

The hotel is located in the Secunderabad suburb of Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh state.

The Hindu newspaper reported that while the cause of the collapse of the roof is not yet known, police officials suspect that internal constructions - such as including new stoves - could have led to the incident.

The paper reported that most of those hurt in the deadly collapse were labourers who were eating their breakfast near the restaurant.

Another building collapse in Mumbai, 5 killed

PTI : Mumbai, Sat Jun 22 2013, 13:23 hrs

Five persons were killed and six others injured when a four-storey building collapsed this morning in suburban Dahisar here, police said. The building, located in market area of Dahisar (East), was vacated two years ago by BMC officials but local vegetable vendors used to take night shelter in the structure sometimes.

The building, which was constructed more than 30 years ago could not get into re-development as the conveyance deed was not done by the builder, flat owners told local MP Sanjay Nirupam, who visited the spot after the mishap.

Nirupam assured the flat owners that he would get the deemed conveyance of the building done. The six injured have been admitted to Bhagwati hospital for treatment, police added.

Yesterday, a building had collapsed in Thane's Mumbra area killing at least 10 people, including six children, and injuring 14.
