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.

Building collapse leaves 15 dead

 January 16, 2013

A building has collapsed in Alexandria leaving fifteen people dead and eight injured

Egyptian civilians and emergency services sift through the rubble of a building housing 24 families in the Maamura district of Alexandria which collapsed in the early hours on January 16, 2013.

Residents living in the neighbourhood of the eight-storey building, in the Ma’amora district of Alexandria, claimed it was built illegally five years ago. Abdel Moneim El-Sharkawy, undersecretary of the Ministry of Health in Alexandria, has

confirmed the residents’ claims.

Secretary General of the governorate of Alexandria Ahmed Saleh confirmed during a phone call with CBC TV channel that civil security forces are still looking for residents of the building in the rubble. He added that the building contained 24 apartments.

Civil security forces used trucks and bulldozers to remove rubble in the search for survivors.

Additionally, they evacuated residents of two neighbouring buildings that are also in danger of collapse. The buildings, one six- and the other nine-storey, are metres away from the collapsed building.

Military and naval forces are also participating in the rescue operations.

Injured residents have been transferred to Abu Qeer and Tosson hospitals and the dead have been removed to the morgue.

The collapse is the second high-profile deadly incident in two days in Egypt. A train crash in Badrashein in Giza killed 19 and injured 120 passengers early on Tuesday morning. The clash provoked outrage and protesters attempted to stop train from different railway stations across Egypt. Twelve activists were arrested on Tuesday when they attempted to prevent trains at Egypt Railway station in Alexandria from departing.

Israel's State Archives close again, this time due to collapsed staircase

This is the third time in recent months the archive closes. Damage said caused by heavy machinery that accidently dug under the stairs, with last week's rain hastening the collapse.

The State Archives have closed for the third time in recent months. This time, the closure is due to the collapse of a staircase in the entrance of the archives building. Haaretz has learned that a booked guided tour due to take place later this week has been canceled as a result.

Downtown Shanghai building collapses overnight

By Tom Bannister

The top floors of an office building in central Shanghai collapsed in the early hours of Sunday morning. The building was the 'Sichuan Building' situated at the junctions of Yan'an East road and Sichuan road, close to the Bund. The collapse spread debris onto the streets, causing traffic problems, but no-one was seriously injured.

Officials said that both roads were still closed off but should be opened by Sunday evening. They also speculated about the cause of the collapse saying that building was currently being re-decorated and that police and safety administrators were looking into the cause.

When reporters spoke to residents, some said that they thought the collapse was an earthquake another said "this building is several decades old, how can it suddenly just fall down one night? It was lucky that it didn't fall on anyone."

The 'new normal' collapsing buildings an every-day event worldwide (Photos)

• Planet X

Not only is the cover-up about Planet X cracking, but so are buildings around the world cracking and collapsing every day.

Why is this happening? Planet X is very close to earth now, and the earth wobble has violently intensified, wobble or maybe now “earth tilt” or "earth slosh."

The number of buildings that have fallen prey to the earth wobble in just the past six days is incredible, and it is increasing. It’s time to stop looking at these events as isolated incidents. They are related and often occurring on the same day, at the same time.

The list of collapsing buildings below is for the period from December 14-20.

• 12-14: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro – Partial building collapse in Niteroi
• 12-14: USA, Massachusetts, Natick – Floor collapses at construction site
• 12-14: Russia, Taganrogm – Three-story building collapse
• 12-14: United Kingdom, Yiewsley – Scaffolding collapses at building site
• 12-14: India, Mumbai – First floor of building collapse
• 12-16: USA, California, Los Angeles – Floor collapses in apartment building
• 12-16: China, Zhejiang Province – Five or six-story residential building collapse
• 12-16: USA, Ohio, Martins Ferry – Partial collapse, second floor and right side of house
• 12-18: Italy, Palermo (VIDEO) – Two multi-unit residential buildings collapse
• 12-19: India, New Delhi – Partial building collapse in Lonikand
• 12-20: Canada, Okotoks – House under construction toppled over
• 12-20: USA, Missouri, St. Louis – Building collapsed onto another three-story building

The collapse in Palermo, Italy, is unique in that two multi-unit buildings cracked and fell at the same time, with little warning. Four people were killed and at least seven were injured. Residents said unusual noises and growing cracks in the wall worried them so they called the fire brigade, who called for an immediate evacuation of the building. A resident saw someone on one of the balconies a few minutes before building split in two, and it all came down.

In a little over a month, buildings, cranes, walls, and arches other than those listed above have partially or completely collapsed with regularity in Africa, Argentina (2 buildings), Australia, Azerbaijan; Baltimore, Maryland; Bangladesh, Cambodia, Cebu; Shuangyashan, China; Doha, Qatar; Egypt (two separate buildings), Ghana, Guatemala, Hawaii, India (10 separate buildings); Jakarta, Indonesia; Kentucky, Kenya, Minnesota, Wappingers Falls, New York; Nigeria (5 separate buildings), Norway; Pasadena, California; Ohio, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Tennessee, Thailand, United Kingdom, Washington, West Virginia, and Yerevan.

In September and October, there was a definite uptick in earth wobble events. Interestingly, these collapses coincided with dates that the USGS LISS charts were black with intense worldwide shaking.

Collapsing bridges, sinkholes, water and gas line breaks and home, refinery and manhole explosions, which by the way are also on the increase, sync up with these collapsing buildings, but are too numerous to include in one article.

These events are not isolated incidents. They are directly related to the presence of Planet X in the solar system and its ever closer approach to Earth.

This is the new normal. Get used to it and be aware. It could happen to you.

Lucky escape for Harrogate residents as gable end collapses in storms

- last updated Sun 23 Dec 2012

People living in a four storey block of flats in Harrogate had a lucky escape when part of a gable end collapsed due to the bad weather. Falling rubble severed the mains gas supply and 12 residents had to leave their homes at Park View, in the town centre.

Fire crews, engineers and gas safety personnel carried out inspections and allowed most of the residents to return, but those living in the top storey have been forced to move to temporary accommodation.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service say the collapse was caused by "weathering."

St. Louis firefighters rescue woman after building collapse

One of the three buildings that are known as Tillie's Corner at Garrison and Sheridan in St. Louis collapsed on Thursday, Dec. 20, 2012. The collapsed center structure served as the main entrance to the neighborhood grocery store that Lillie Velma Pearson began operated in 1948. Pearson's granddaughter, Carla Pearson Alexander, had been working to save the buildings.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Investigators in St. Louis are trying to determine if high winds caused a building collapse that trapped two people, including a woman who had to be rescued.

Firefighters were able to pull the unidentified woman from the rubble of the three-story building that collapsed Thursday afternoon.

Fire Capt. Dan Sutter says the building collapsed onto another three-story building. Fire fighters pulled the trapped woman out through a second-floor window. She declined medical treatment.

Wintry weather blew into the St. Louis region Thursday with strong wind gusts accompanied by mostly light but blowing snow.

Three killed, one missing after Palermo buildings collapse

Firefighters started evacuation after residents heard noises

Palermo, December 18 - Three people are dead and a woman is missing after two buildings collapsed in the Sicilian city of Palermo overnight. Firefighters have found the bodies of a married couple in their 80s and a 54-year-old man who is related to them in Via Bagolino, a street in the area of Palermo's shipyards. They are digging in the rubble to try to find another woman aged 74. The number of victims would have been higher if the firefighters had not ordered an immediate evacuation of the buildings after being called when residents heard strange noises and noticed cracks in walls were getting bigger. "Today the noises worried us more than usual and we called the fire brigade, who immediately had us evacuate," said one of the survivors, Giuseppina Ferrara. "A few minutes later it all came down". Seven people were injured, including three children. Rescuers managed to pull a small dog out of the rubble alive. Palermo Mayor Leoluca Orlando rushed to the scene of the disaster to help oversee operations. Twenty people were made homeless by the collapses. Palermo prosecutors have opened an investigation.

Desperate search for survivors after six-storey residential building collapses in China

• One woman pulled from the rubble later died at hospital
• At least one other trapped in the debris
• Families complained of 'cracks' and were told to evacuate on the morning of the disaster

PUBLISHED: 13:31 EST, 16 December 2012 |

A desperate rescue operation is ongoing in east China's Zhejiang Province after a six-storey building collapsed today.

One woman has died in the accident, with at least one other woman believed to be buried in the rubble. It is unknown if she is alive at present.

The firefighters' efforts are being hampered by the sheer amount of rubble, as the woman lived on the second floor.

Grim viewing: Rescuers search for residents trapped in a collapsed residential building in Ningbo

Joint effort: Rescuers clear up debris at the collapsed building hoping that anyone still trapped is still alive

Destruction: In an area of tower blocks, the large void is a painful reminder of what has happened

Despite officials telling the inhabitants to vacate the 'dangerous' building in the morning, it is not known whether all left the property.

The incident happened in Jiangdong district of Ningbo City around noon local time.

The Shanghai Daily have reported that the woman was pulled from the debris and taken to a nearby hospital at around 4.50pm local time, but efforts to revive her failed.

 

Inhabitants of the building, that was built in 1989, had complained to authorities of cracks in the framework.

This led to community workers instructing the 18 families who lived there, to move out of the tower block.

Hoping for the best: The exact number of casualties is unknown at this time as rescuers comb the debris

Keep going: The search for any trapped victims will continue through the night in Ningbo City

Ningbo is is a seaport city in the northeast of Zhejiang province, People's Republic of China, holding sub-provincial administrative status and separate state-planning status.

It's climate is described as 'monsoon-influenced' which can evidently affect buildings and other structures and the longevity of them.

The disaster will come as a setback for the ruling authority of the Chinese City, only two days after it negotiated a deal with the UN that will see it extend its sustainable development programme.

Fears will now turn to other buildings in the immediate vicinity, as there are a large number of tower blocks, all of similar build, that may be unsafe to live in.

Night falls: It is thought there could still be people buried in the rubble, so the search will continue into the night

A three-story building under construction has collapsed in the port city of Taganrog, killing at least five people and wounding twelve. Nine people are still missing, RIA Novosti reports, quoting the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

"Fourteen people have been pulled out of the rubble; five of them have died," the Ministry says. "Up to nine people may remain in the debris."

Twelve people have been taken to hospital; according to the local Health Ministry; condition of seven of them is serious to critical.

Around 30 construction workers, some of them foreigners, were reportedly at the scene when the building crumbled. Some of the workers were evacuated in the wake of the incident.

Up to 300 people are working at the scene searching for those missing and removing the debris.

The cause of the collapse remains unclear, but local authorities suspect errors in construction. The construction cite is reported to belong to a local investor who was planning to build a small-sized appartment house.

A criminal case has been opened into the deaths, citing charges of security violations at construction sites which lead to deaths of two or more people. Police are also checking if migrants working at the site have job permits and visas.

Taganrog is a port city of over 250,000 people on the northern coast of the Sea of Azov.
