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.

No serious injuries after oil rig topples over on Alaska’s North Slope

A massive oil drilling rig toppled over on the tundra of Alaska’s North Slope as it was moving Friday afternoon, authorities said.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A massive oil drilling rig toppled over on the tundra of Alaska’s North Slope as it was moving Friday afternoon, authorities said.

No serious injuries were reported on Doyon 26, the name of the rig involved.

A small fire erupted on the rig, operating on behalf of ConocoPhillips Alaska, according to company officials, who said it was “traveling on an ice road” when it fell over around 4:45 p.m. Friday.

ConocoPhillips reported that the fire is contained and controlled.

There was no word on the cause of the incident from ConocoPhillips or Gov. Mike Dunleavy, who confirmed the incident on his Facebook page.

“There was a small fire, but so far appears to be minimal damage to the environment and no impact to oil infrastructure or facilities,” Dunleavy stated. “They are responding with a team, working on plans to recover the rig, and we will know more as they assess.”

ConocoPhillips said that all personnel in the area had been accounted for and there were no serious injuries.

“There was no damage to local community infrastructure and no impact to pipelines or fuel transportation. Emergency response personnel remain on site,” ConocoPhillips officials said. “We will provide additional details as they are available.”

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation said late Friday that it is aware of the incident and is actively monitoring the situation. In a statement, the agency said its staff is in direct contact with “company officials” to oversee containment efforts and ensure regulatory requirements are followed.

Video circulating online show what appears to be a rig toppling over on icy and snowy ground. The structure’s lights go dark moments before impacting the ground. Alaska’s News Source has not verified the authenticity of the video.

Rig 26, owned by Doyon Drilling Inc., runs on diesel and natural gas, according to the company website, and has the capacity to drill on any developed drill site on the North Slope.

Rig 26 was described by ConocoPhillips in a 2022 press release as the largest mobile land drilling rig in North America, capable of drilling wells more than 40,000 feet in length.

According to ConocoPhillips, the rig’s extended reach capabilities allowed operators to access as much as 154 square miles of reservoir from a single drilling pad.

Rep. Elexie Moore, R-Wasilla, posted on her official Facebook page that Rig 26 is “one of the largest rigs in North America” after saying she visited it last summer.

This is a developing story and will be updated when new information becomes available.

GALLIA COUNTY, Ohio (WOWK) – Three workers were injured after a building under construction collapsed in Gallia County.

According to Rio Grande Police Chief Keith Davies, the incident happened around 11:20 a.m. Monday in the 200 block of Pleasant Valley Road near Vinton and Rio Grande. He says the three workers were on the roof of a commercial building being built on the site at the time of the collapse.

Davies says one of the workers was flown from the scene for medical treatment, but all of the workers’ injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. The police chief said all three were responsive and talking at the scene.

While a cause has not been determined, Davies says he suspects the wind may have played a factor in the collapse.

Davies says along with the Rio Grande PD, the Rio Grande and Spring Field Volunteer Fire Departments, the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office and Mason County, W.Va., EMS responded to the scene.

Several buildings, cars engulfed in flames in Yonkers fire

CeFaan Kim has the latest developments from Yonkers.

YONKERS, New York (WABC) -- Several buildings and cars lit up in flames on Friday night in Yonkers as smoke blanketed the air.

The fire started around 7 p.m. on School Street. It was all-hands-on-deck with every Yonkers firefighter on the scene as well as mutual aid brought in from neighboring departments to try to get flames under control.

When firefighters first arrived on scene, there was a partial collapse that set cars on fire and ripped down charged power lines. One building completely collapsed.

Mother Nature was not doing firefighters any favors - the ground was frozen and slippery and firefighters' gear became frozen.

Two buildings fully engulfed in flames and then reached a third and fourth building.

Fire Commissioner William Fitzpatrick described some of the danger that firefighters encountered while battling the raging inferno.

"As the building collapsed into the street almost simultaneously as the first arriving units were pulling up, they were confronted with one building fully involved collapsed, set a couple cars on fire, it was downed power lines, so it did hamper the initial efforts to getting into the building because of downed power lines," Fitzpatrick said.

No injuries were reported. It is still unclear how many residents this is impacting, but officials estimate roughly 30-50 people may be displaced.

OEM is setting up a shelter for Friday night at the Cesar Chavez School and the Red Cross is assisting.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
