Sinkhole Incidents On the Rise
"Stretch zones primarily experience sinking ground, as the support in the rock strata is stretched thin. Thus, buildings implode and gas and water mains break." ZetaTalk
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What happens to rock layers under a diagonal pull, or being pulled apart? As can be seen during recent years, this has resulted in derailing trains, sinkholes suddenly appearing, gas and water main breaks, torn roadways and separating bridges. Despite the effect on man, crawling about on the surface of what they assume to be terra firma, these changes are superficial. When the pulling starts, weak points break and thereafter the plumbing and roadways hold, giving the impression that the pulling has stopped, but this is misleading. The North American continent is giving evidence that its rock layers are separating from each other, and sliding sideways in a diagonal, thus exposing portions of these layers to vent into the air above. If rock is being stressed, then where are the earthquake predictors giving evidence of this, the frantic animals, the static on the radio, the earthquake swarms? Rock in the stretch zone, pulling apart rather than compressing, does not emit the particles flows that animals and radios sense, nor register on instruments are tension and release quakes.

"We have repeatedly stated that the Earth changes will not diminish, but will increase going into the pole shift.
This is not a lineal matter, as the closer Planet X comes to Earth, an inevitable path, the more the torque effect and the polar wobble where the N Pole of Earth is pushed away violently on a daily basis, occur. The wobble will become more pronounced, more violent. The plates are tugged back West of the Atlantic, pulled forward East of the Atlantic, during the daily rotation of the Earth. The North American continent is allowed to roll East during rotation while the S Pole is pulled West, creating the diagonal pull likely to trigger the New Madrid fault line into an adjustment, and soon. The N Pole is pushed away and allowed to bounce back, daily, as the Earth rotates, a wobble that puts stress on all fault lines when the plates are suddenly in motion, and suddenly stopped!
"As there is no other explanation for the effect on the stretch zone, lacking any earthquakes to blame, and as these stretch zone accidents will continue to emerge, and with ferocity, this is a certain clue to those on the fence, that the influence of Planet X is the cause. Or is it Global Warming?"
ZetaTalk Chat Q&A for April 13, 2013
"Sinkholes almost invariably form in areas subject to karst limestone cavern formation. Underground water flows eat away the limestone leaving vast caverns and caves, which often give scant indication above ground that a cavern lies below. Karst limestone rock formations have been mapped and are known, however, but since one never knows just where a cavern might have formed, this provides little help in predicting just where a sinkhole might form. Sinkholes open up when the rock is fractured due to stress from being in the stretch zone, from the bending of a plate, or due to torsion."

CT WOMAN ESCAPES DEATH AFTER CAR ENGULFED BY SINKHOLE
A couple, who witnessed the incident, rushed to the woman's rescue by pulling her out of her car.
CAPE TOWN – A Parow woman narrowly escaped death when her car became engulfed by a sinkhole in Low Road, Wetton.
Cape Town local Ayesha Parker was driving home one evening when she suddenly felt the road collapse underneath her. The next moment, her car had sunk deep into the earth and all that surrounded her was gravel.“I was in a hole and I didn’t know I was in a hole. The hole covered the entire car right up to the roof. I was terrified.”
A couple, who had witnessed the incident, rushed to Parker’s rescue by bravely pulling her out of her car to safety.
“They saw the car disappear into the ground. They just told me to get out immediately. I stood on my seat and they dragged me to safety. As they did that, the car sunk further and immediately started to fill with water.”
Mayoral Committee member for Utility Services Ernest Sonnenbergsays an investigation shows that a water main had burst which caused a hole to develop. The earth then gradually seeped into it.
The road that was covered by the tar had eventually weakened to the point that it fell into the hole that had been building up for a while.
Sonnenberg says although incidents like this rarely happen in Cape Town, he apologised to Parker who says she is still traumatised by the experience.He says Parker has to lodge an insurance claim with the City of Cape Town to replace her car.

Giant sinkholes cause fear in Wheeland estate
http://tcweeklynews.com/giant-sinkholes-cause-fear-in-wheeland-esta...
A WHEELAND homeowner is scared for her life and her property after three huge sinkholes appeared in her garden following heavy rain.Azizi Parker told the Weekly News that she is seeking her money back for her two bedroom home of three years which she says is currently showing signs of strain.Cracks have appeared in the walls and Parker said she is worried that the building may collapse, leaving her homeless.She no longer stays for long periods in the house in Millennium Heights and instead resides with nearby family members.The holes appeared in Parker’s back yard after tropical storm Cristobal struck the TCI at the end of August dumping several inches of rain on the country.She explained that on the following Tuesday at about 7am she went outside about 15ft from her back door to plant some seeds."I was digging in the dirt planting the seeds and in the side of my eye I glanced and saw a dark shadow and when I looked over it was a hole so I jumped up."I got up and ran over to my neighbour and said: ‘I have a sinkhole in my yard.’”

GUAM: Massive Sinkhole/Water Main Break
http://www.guampdn.com/article/20141030/NEWS01/141030005/Sinkhole-c...
Motorists are advised to expect slow-moving traffic on Route 16 during rush hour this afternoon because of a 100-foot by 25-foot sinkhole that caused continued closure of the inner south-bound and north-bound lanes near a tire depot and the Guam National Guard complex in Barrigada.
The hole was caused by 24-inch water line break, according to the Navy.
The Navy water line supplies water from the Radio Barrigada reservoir to the Navy's assets, including the nearby Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station and a private residence bordering federal property. Water service has been restored, the Navy stated in a press release.
Crews from Naval Facilities Engineering Command Marianas and DZSP 21 LLC worked throughout last night and repaired the broken 24-inch water line.
Crews are still on the scene evaluating the 100-foot by 25-foot hole caused by the water line break, according to the Navy.
Temporary road repairs will begin this afternoon but residents are advised to remain cautious and to expect increased traffic during this evening’s rush hour, according to the Navy.

EXACT MOMENT SINKHOLE FORMS CAPTURED ON VIDEO:
Cement Mixer Swallowed by Sinkhole in Russia (Oct 20)
A lorry driver narrowly escaped serious injury when the cement mixer he was driving was swallowed up by a massive sinkhole that appeared in the road.
Adam Zubarev, 47, had been heading to a building site in the city of Voronezh in western Russia's Voronezh Oblast when he suddenly came to an abrupt stop after the ground collapsed underneath him.
He said: 'I was travelling pretty fast when suddenly I felt the truck bump as if it had hit something and come to a stop, which sent me flying forward. I had absolutely no idea what had happened but then it started lifting in the air and suddenly I was looking at the sky. I opened the door and jumped out as quickly as possible and realised that almost the entire lorry had vanished into a hole in the ground.'
In total it was in the ground for almost two days. Yefremov said: 'We couldn't risk putting up a crane until we had tested the rest of the ground to make sure there weren't any other surprises.'

Huge sinkhole emerges on county-owned site
http://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2014/10/15/huge-sinkh...
A sinkhole the size of a pickup truck opened up overnight Wednesday on a county-owned parking lot behind the former TK Tripps restaurant at College and South Charlotte streets.
Heavy rains Tuesday apparently opened up the crater, according to local developer Rusty Pulliam, who with a partner is building a retail/office complex on the site.

Merafong sinkhole 18m wide ... and growing
http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/gauteng/merafong-sinkhole-18...
Johannesburg - Detours, dust, threats, car crashes and a R25 million repair job. At the centre of it all is a very big hole in Merafong.
On a rainy night on February 21, a sinkhole appeared right next to the R500 main road between Carletonville and the N14 on the way to Rustenburg. It’s just south of where the R41 joins the R500.
The sinkhole is about 18m across and about 25m at the deepest point, and growing.
The road is being blocked off with concrete barriers, running a detour along gravel servitude roads through farmland, a temporary fix that has left tempers frayed.
The owners of the land with the sinkhole, who did not want to be identified, said that passing motorists had threatened to sue them for costs of fuel and vehicle repairs because of the detour. Commuters are fed up with the inconvenience and damage to vehicles, while residents are irritated by the dust, road damage and noise.
“The fear is that it’s going to be a long-term thing. There’s no time frame,” said DA councillor in Merafong City, Judy Rossouw, explaining that repairs hadn’t started as expected last month.

Mystery surrounds the appearance of numerous sinkholes in the Red Cliffs area during the past 12 months, including the latest this week.
http://www.sunraysiadaily.com.au/story/2610134/sinkhole-mystery/?cs=12
Mildura Rural City Council has confirmed up to six sinkholes had been spotted in Red Cliffs, including along Isaacs Lane and Heytesbury Avenue.
The latest appeared on Kauri Street about 12 noon on Monday.
A motorbike rider narrowly missed hitting the 40cm diameter hole thanks to a passing motorist who flagged him in the nick of time.
Resident Tamara Hocking said her husband Peter was on the road five minutes earlier and the sinkhole was not there.
“He was flagged down by another driver who called the police,” Ms Hocking said.
She said the hole was “definitely not” a pothole.
“It was reasonably large, about four feet round and about four feet deep."
Council’s infrastructure services co-ordinator Michael Vaughan said sinkholes had appeared in laneways, local roads and on a nature strip.
He said no one was certain what was causing them, or how to prevent them from reoccurring, but some theories did have weight.

30-foot-deep hole opens in road at Holiday subdivision
HOLIDAY — A 30-foot-deep hole that opened up in a street Wednesday night blocked the main access road for residents in part of a Holiday subdivision, the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office said.
The 20-by-20-foot hole has closed Blue Marlin Boulevard at Parrot Fish Drive in the Gulfwinds subdivision.
Doug Tobin, a spokesman for Pasco County government, said Thursday morning that an engineering firm, PSI Engineering, is determining whether a sinkhole or some other cause led to the road collapse. The county water department checked the hole and did not see any evidence that a storm water issue might have caused the hole, he said.
Right now, the county is simply referring to the hole as a depression and it appears to be stabilized, he said.
“Could it grow?” Tobin said. “It certainly could grow. We’ve seen it in the past where depressions have grown. But we believe right now that’s where it’s contained to.”
Tobin said it could be as much as a week before any repair efforts start.
“You don’t want to go in filling in dirt until you understand what the problem is,” he said.
The road is a private road with public access, so it’s unclear whether the county or the homeowners association would pay for the repair, Tobin said.
Vernon June, president of the Gulfwinds homeowners association, said Thursday morning that he believes the collapse is the result of a road failure, not a sinkhole. He said residents for some time have complained to the developer, Beazer Homes, about substandard street construction, such as cracking and drainage problems.
“Every manhole is cracking up like that,” June said, pointing to a manhole cover with a crack around it a little south of the hole.
The homeowners association had an engineering study conducted and gave the developer a list of concerns, June said.
A representative for Beazer Homes could not be reached for comment.
Blue Marlin Boulevard exits the Gulfwinds subdivision only at Anclote Boulevard to the south, and dead-ends at the north end.
An emergency cut-through has been set up for trapped residents using a pedestrian path from Swordfish Avenue to Sweetbriar Drive. The cut-through allows access to neighborhood schools Anclote High, Paul R. Smith Middle and Gulfside Elementary.
Tobin said the county is urging residents who use the emergency exit to use caution, especially when students are walking to and from school.
Danny Rowland, who lives on a street about a block south of the hole, said the street problems in Gulfwinds come up routinely at homeowners association meetings, but seeing a section of the road collapse was still a surprise.
“I don’t think anyone expected that,” he said. “I’m glad it’s not someone’s house.”
