Building collapses in Poland: 5 killed, 4 injured, 1 missing
Associated Press April 8, 2017
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A pre-World War II apartment house collapsed Saturday in southwestern Poland, leaving five people dead, four injured and one missing, authorities said.
Scores of firefighters with dogs were searching the rubble of the building in the town of Swiebodzice (Shvyeh-'boh-tchi-tseh), according to Daniel Mucha, regional spokesman for the firefighters. He said the collapse of two floors of the three-floor building might have been caused by a gas explosion.
Regional governor Pawel Hreniak said the search-and-rescue operation was expected to continue through Sunday.
He confirmed five fatalities, including two school-age children.
Still, firefighters looking for one more missing person said there were no sounds yet coming from the building's bricks and broken wood.
Prime Minister Beata Szydlo was heading to the site, 420 kilometers (250 miles) southwest of Warsaw, to be with the victims and the rescue workers.
The governor of Swiebodzice, Bogdan Kozuchowicz, said the pre-World War II building was recently renovated and had been in good technical condition.
The injured were taken to hospitals in Swiebodzice and in Wroclaw. One survivor, identified only by her first name Stanislawa, told TVN24 that she was "miraculously saved."
"I was in the kitchen and suddenly it was dark and full of debris and some broken wooden planks," she said from her hospital bed in Swiebodzice. "I got on top of those planks and started calling 'Help! Help!' Two firefighters came and pulled me out by the arm."
She said her husband was resting on the bed at the time of the collapse.
"I don't know what has happened to him," she said, her voice trembling.
With her teenage son, also a survivor, at her side, she said the family had lost everything.

Tunnel collapse knocks Nepal’s 100-kW Budum Rivulet Micro Hydropower offline
MAHAKULUNG, Solukhumbu, Nepal
04/06/2017
The canal that supplies water to the 100-kW Budum Rivulet Micro Hydropower project in Nepal has collapsed, news agencies are reporting.
The project, at Gudel of Mahakulung rural municipality in the Solukhumbu district, began operating in 2015.
It is reported that a 30-meter-long section of the canal collapsed and will take a minimum of one month to repair. More than 750 households have lost electricity as a result of the collapse.
THE STRETCH ZONE, THAT SINKING FEELING
http://www.zetatalk.com/index/blog1010.htm
We have described a time preceding the last weeks when emergency management teams would be exhausted, turning a deaf ear in countries like the US and Britain to cries of "terrorism" and a need to install martial law. What could cause such a state, worldwide? Earthquakes have increased in frequency and strength, and accidents in the stretch zones are increasing because the plates have loosened up and are moving a greater distance during each adjustment. The recent breaks in Internet cables around the Arabian Plate are a case in point. Where earthquakes of lower magnitude are registered and often felt, when they increase in size to a magnitude 6 or 7 or greater, infrastructure is destroyed.
What will it be like when earthquakes are happening to most cities around the world, simultaneously? Stretch zones will experience even more destruction, as the infrastructure will be pulled apart. Gas mains will explode into holocausts. Travel will become impossible when roadways are torn apart or heaved up. And the increasingly volatile atmosphere, jerked about by the wobble, will make air travel treacherous. Where faltering on occasion now, satellites will falter increasingly, making communications difficult. All this leads to panic, so that distracted workers cause malfunctions in services. This can be expected before the last weeks arrive.

FESTIVAL CARNAGE
Vigo festival – 313 hurt ‘including two kids’ as pier collapses into sea at Spanish pop festival ‘after rapper tells crowd to jump’
Many were left with broken arms and legs during the freak accident during the 'O Marisquiño' festival in the city of Vigo. Were you there?
13th August 2018,HUNDREDS of concertgoers have been left injured after a pier collapsed into the sea during a Spanish pop festival.
Two children were among the 313 people left with broken arms, legs and other injuries in the freak accident during the "O Marisquiño" festival in the city of Vigo.
Five people are believed to be in a serious condition, but there were no fatalities as a result of the incident.
Spanish newspaper Faro de Vigo said the wooden pier collapsed during the first song of the concert, just after the singer Rels B told the crowd to jump.
There were scenes of panic as revellers plummeted into the sea and were unable to get out just after midnight.
More than 300 people were injured when it collapsed after a rapper told the crowd to jump, it was reported
Festival-goer Aitana Alonso told local paper Diario de Vigo: "The floor gave way beneath us as if we were in a lift. It was a question of five seconds.
"The platform broke and we all fell. People landed on top of me. I tried to get out and couldn’t. My foot ended up stuck in the water but I managed to free it before a boy gave me his hand and pulled me out.
“There were people underneath me, shouting they couldn’t get out. I didn’t think I would.”
A friend described the scene as “horrible, chaos, panic”, adding: “I saw a family and the little girl was saying to her dad, ‘If we die here, I love you.
"It was the worst moment of my life," said one of the concert goers who reported seeing people screaming and running around.
Another 16-year-old said: "We were on the walkway when it opened up. I fell on people and people fell on me. I was hit on the head and then some sort of container fell as well. I tried to get out and someone helped me."
Cops and paramedics rushed to help those injured with ambulances whisking revellers to nearby hospitals.
The head of the Galician region's health authority, Jesus Vazquez Almuina, told Antena 3 television that 313 people required treatment.
Organisers set up an information point for worried relatives who couldn't initially find their loved ones.
In a tweet, rap artist Rels B wished "strength" to the injured and advised anyone worried about friends or relatives to contact an emergency information point set up by festival organisers.
City mayor Abel Caballero has announced an investigation will now be launched to determine why the wooden platform collapsed.
Vigo’s Port Authority president Enrique Lopez Veiga said he thought it was due to “excess weight.”
There were no immediate report of any Brits or Irish among the casualties, although the nationalities of those hurt has not yet been revealed.
O Marisquino bills itself as an urban, culture and action sports festival. The drama happened at the start of the last day of the three-day festival, which is in its 18th year.
Visitors number around 160,000 and come to see events including BMX, skateboarding and break dancing.
An article published in the local press before the start of this year’s festival featured interviews with visitors from all over the world, including Portugal, Venezuela, the States and Germany.

One killed, two injured in electric-plant tunnel collapse in northern Israel
One man was killed and another two were injured when a tunnel collapsed at an underground construction plant on Friday.
At least eight workers were briefly trapped some 50 meters underground at the Ma’ale Gilboa Power Station tunnel near Beit Shean in the incident, when an above-ground crane fell on it.
The workers were building an underground hydroelectricity facility at the site, which works by pumping water up from a low reservoir to a station at the top of Mount Gilboa, then letting it spill down in an underground waterfall onto a large turbine, generating extra electricity for the national grid.
The identities of the men affected were not immediately publicized.
The wounded men, both in their 30s, were evacuated by helicopter to Haemek Hospital in Afula. Ambulances, mobile ICU units and a helicopter were scrambled to the site.
Police have launched an investigation into the accident.

Mumbai Train Services Resume Day After Gokhale Bridge Collapse
A day after an overbridge collapsed at a railway station in Mumbai’s suburban Andheri area, the Western Railway restored its train services today, though the trains were running slightly late due to speed restrictions.
A part of the 40-year-old Gokhale overbridge collapsed on Tuesday morning, halting the local train services on the Western line.
Around 700 railway employees, helped by experts from Delhi and Lucknow, were pressed into action, following which the services resumed today.
“Up slow line between Andheri & Vile Parle also restored at 1.00 hrs. Now, trains running on all lines in this section. WR suburban services are running normal with some delay due to speed restriction of 20 kmph near Andheri in view of Safety (sic),” the Western Railway said in a tweet.
Mumbaikars, especially office-goers, heaved a sigh of relief as train services were restored.
Meanwhile, of the five people injured in the incident, four were stable while the condition of a 35-year-old woman, identified as Asmita Katkar, was critical, a doctor at Mumbai’s Cooper Hospital said.
“Katkar was brought to the hospital in an unconscious state after she suffered severe head, facial and vascular injuries. She has brain hemorrhage and has undergone surgery. She is critical,” the dean of the hospital, Dr Ganesh Shinde, told PTI.
Ms Katkar was on her way home after dropping her son to school when she fell from the bridge as it collapsed.
Railway Minister Piyush Goyal visited the accident site on Tuesday and ordered an inquiry by the Commissioner of Rail Safety, Western Railway, who was asked to submit a report within 15 days.
The minister said the last safety audit of the Gokhale bridge was conducted on November 12 last year and nothing wrong was found.
Mr Goyal also said that over the next six months, a joint safety audit will be conducted by the railways, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mumbai of the 445 road overbridges, foot overbridges and bridges over pipelines in the city.
