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.

SAO PAULO — Brazilian firefighters say a 13-story building has partially collapsed in an industrial suburb outside Sao Paulo, killing a 3-year-old girl.

Fire department spokeswoman Vanessa Andrade says the concrete floor of the top story collapsed, taking with it all of the other floors in the building. The shell of the structure remains standing.

Six people suffered injuries that are not life-threatening.

Deadly Building Collapse in Cairo

Created: Feb 07 2012

Rescuers search through the rubble of a collapsed building in Alexandria, the second largest city in Egypt.

At least one person was killed in the accident.



Local residents say they felt the earth shake, and after running out on to the street found that the building had collapsed.



[Local Resident]:

"We felt the earth shaking at around 2:30 a.m. We, the residents of the area, ran out and found that this building had collapsed. The building was around nine to eleven months old, some say that there were families in it but we don't know if there were."



It was not immediately clear whether the shaking the residents felt was from an earthquake, or the collapse of the building.

Wall Of Bricks Collapses Onto Sidewalk In East Oakland

February 6, 2012 11:25 AM

Scene where the facade of a corner liquor store collapsed onto the pavement at the corner of 13th Ave. and International Blvd. in Oakland, February 6, 2012.

OAKLAND (CBS SF) – What was first reported as a building explosion in Oakland early Monday morning turned out to be the facade collapse of an aging building.

Emergency officials had responded to the scene, at 13th and International, a building that houses Express Liquor and Market as well as several work-live units.

The call first came in to the fire department at approximately 6:15 a.m.

“It looks like dry rot or masonry degraded over time and it just way,” explained one of the firefighters summoned to the scene.

“I’d say roughly 1,000 lbs. if I was guessing,” the firefighter estimated the size of rubble on the sidewalk.

Wall of Bricks Collapses Onto Sidewalk in East Oakland

Normally, there is a lot of foot traffic in and out of the market, making it especially remarkable that there were no injuries in the incident. Still, the facade actually stretches halfway down the block, and engineers were expressing concern about whether the roughly 75-year-old structure had become so unstable that additional brick work could give way at any time.

Consequently, the sidewalk and one lane of traffic was blocked off indefinitely.

Dam Bursts in Bulgaria, 8 Killed in Floods

SOFIA, Bulgaria February 6, 2012 (AP)

A dam in southern Bulgaria burst Monday after days of heavy rain, sending an eight-foot-high (2.5-meter) torrent surging through a village along the Greek border. The disaster brought the region's toll from flooding to eight dead, 10 missing.

The dam on the Ivanovo Reservoir collapsed, flooding 700 houses in the village of Bisser, civil defense chief Nikolai Nikolov said. Four bodies were found in the raging waters, three of them elderly men, the Bisser mayor reported.

A reporter at Bisser saw the muddy water crashing into homes, tossing cars, drowning animals and uprooting trees. Many homes were destroyed and some residents had to climb onto their roofs to escape.

Many in Bisser had to be rescued from their water-logged homes and were spending the night in emergency shelters. Officials were still assessing the damage late Monday.

Authorities have declared a state of emergency in much of southern Bulgaria due to the heavy rain. District governor Irena Uzunova said four others were killed and 10 people are still missing in the floods that have washed away bridges and roads.

Bulgaria's civil defense agency warned that two bigger dams at Ivaylovgrad and Studena were also on the brink of overflowing and residents were urged to prepare for an evacuation. The government also warned Turkey and Greece of floods surging down the Arda, Tundzha and Maritsa rivers.

Prime Minister Boiko Borisov and Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov came to the flooded region late Monday and pledged emergency aid.

Train services were suspended in southern Bulgaria and many roads remained closed, submerged under water or badly damaged.

Rain-soaked landslides also derailed the engine of an Istanbul-bound train near the border town of Svilengrad, causing no injuries but stranding passengers for hours.

In neighboring Turkey, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported that due to flood warnings some businesses and villagers close to river banks near the Bulgarian border had started to evacuate. Authorities said only large trucks were being allowed to travel between Bulgaria and Turkey due to the flooding.

At least five people were killed early Monday when a residential building collapsed in Montazah, Alexandria, in the second building collapse in the city this week, state-run MENA reported.

Khaled Ghoraba, Alexandria security chief, said five families were likely inside the 14-story building when it collapsed.

Another building collapsed on Saturday, killing the doorman and a child walking by at the time. Authorities had ordered the eviction and demolition of the 10-story building, which was empty at the time of the collapse.

In December 2010, a building that comprised a clothes factory collapsed killing 26 people and injuring 10 others.

Building collapses are a frequent problem in the coastal city, with several incidents occurring in recent years.

In 2007, a building collapsed in the Loran neighborhood, killing 36 and injuring three people. In 2008, a building collapsed in the Fleming neighborhood, killing 21 and injuring eight.
