The Great Collapse: crust weakening, slipping, and

collapsing across the planet

February 23, 2013 Geological event rips road in Arizona:A 150-foot section of U.S. 89 south of Page that

buckled and sunk four feet Wednesday might have been caused by a geologic event, according to the

Arizona Department of Transportation. The road collapsed at mile post 526 just 2.5 miles north of theintersection with U.S. 89A, about 25 miles south of page, according to an ADOT spokesman. He said the

incident was not related to the weather. The road was closed in both directions and there was no

estimation when the highway would reopen, said an ADOT spokesman. ADOT officials said northbound

U.S. 89 was closed at the U.S. 89A junction, which takes motorists west toward Jacob Lake. In Page, U.S.

89 was closed at the junction with State Route 98. Northbound motorists were being routed to U.S. 160

east to State Route 98, and north on SR 98 back to U.S. 89 in Page. The detour is about 45 miles longer

than the direct route, the spokesman said. The Coconino College campus in Page was also closed because

of the road closure. DPS reported a number of collisions within the collapse, but none appeared to be

serious. No injuries were reported. No other information was immediately available. KPHO

UK nightmare: The landslip, described as one of the worst in living memory, has twisted tracks in the area, disrupting train service to and

from the region for untold months.

Massive landslip in the UK: There is no end in sight to the severe disruption a landslide has caused for

Scunthorpe area rail passengers, according to a leading rail expert. Sim Harris, managing editor at

Railnews, the national newspaper for the British rail industry, says the landslide near Hatfield Colliery

that is affecting thousands of North Lincolnshire rail passengers is the worst in decades. The disruption

for passengers travelling between Scunthorpe and Doncaster has seen their journeys extended by up to an

hour as they take buses to and from their destination. Work cannot begin repairing the track until the

landslide stops moving and officials at Network Rail say they have no idea when this will be. Mr Harris

said: Landslips themselves are not that uncommon and over the last year there have been quite a few

because of the heavy rain that we have had. There have been a lot of landslips that have not been rail-

related, but some railways have been affected. This one is certainly the worst in my recollection and you

have to go back a long way to find anything of this nature. In 1953, there were floods along the east coast

service near Newcastle, where bridges were washed away. I dont think I have seen anything like this in

recent memory. I dont recall anything as serious as this. There is no end in sight. He says repairing the

line will not be an easy task. Until the ground stops moving, there is not much that Network Rail can do

their hands are tied. When it stops moving, it will take more than five minutes to rebuild four tracks of

main railway. There are junctions that are involved which make it much more difficult. TIS.uk

A massive landslip destroys dozens of fields and roads near Cendea de Galar Spain

Unprecedented landslip in Spain: Heavy rains in recent weeks have caused a major landslide in Subiza

(Cendea of Galar) that has devastated rural roads, farms and caused serious damage to two electrical

towers that are at serious risk of falling. The landslide is located on the southeast slope of Mount of

Forgiveness, towards Bells, and therefore did not affect any house in this small town of Basin, about 190

inhabitants. The dimensions of the land mass, dragged stones and vegetation, as a result of heavy rainfall

are calculated such that can reach 800 meters long and 700 wide. It is of immense dimensions, and quite

tremendous. Ive never seen one this big slide, claimed yesterday Esteban Faci, geologist of the

Government of Navarre, in an initial field assessment. Continuous rains, during January and February,along with the snowmelt, are behind this spectacular landslide, which began about three or four weeks,

according to Ismael Amatriain. As if it were a glacier, the tongue of land, rocks and vegetation has shifted

gradually from the hillside, taking about six or seven fields of wheat and barley crops with it. It has also

destroyed three rural roads; sometimes breaking them so dramatically that you could see a stretch

perfectly, you can see where the next, 10 or 15 feet had moved. In addition, roads, are covered by tons of

earth in places, and have large and deep cracks. The council has sealed off many of these roads, making

access totally impassable. The landslide also destroyed a cattle track that crossed the region. Noticias

Nightmarish cracks, splits land in Kashmir: At least 200

families of Yamrad Bala, 16 km from Handwara have been forced to migrate to other locations after

cracks developed in the land around their houses. The cracks are widening constantly giving a

nightmarish experience to the inhabitants. Locals said that land was developing cracks, which were

widening with each passing day. They expressed fear that their residential structures may collapse

anytime and result in devastation of life and property. The land is developing cracks and it appears thatmajor soil erosion may wreak havoc to life and property, said Habibullah Qureshi, a local. The village is

located at a slope and a non-metallic road connects it with the Handwara town. We have a joint family of

18 members living under a single roof. Fearing collapse of our house, we were forced to evacuate during

the night and stay with relatives in Magam since Monday, Muhammad Ayoub, a local said. Some

families who muster courage to stay in their homes during nights said it was a nightmarish experience for

them to spend nights amid increasing fear of widening of cracks. Following a representation by locals

about soil erosion in the village, a team from Soil Conservation Department accompanied by Tehsildar

Handwara Ghulam Ahmad Khan today visited the village. Officials of Soil Conservation Department

collected the sample of soil and sent it for testing. There is no need to panic and necessary measures will be

taken for the safety of inhabitants of the village, Khan said. Most of the families evacuated their housesand moved to safer location in nearby localities during nights. Staying for nights here may prove

disastrous because land is developing more cracks at different places. For past two days, we have been

moving to other locations to spend nights and avoid any eventuality, a local Muhammad Sarwar said.

The soil may have turned marshy after many years. If that is the case, then the entire village may be

forced to migrate to other areas for rehabilitation, said another local Abdul Rashid Lone. Rising

Giant sinkhole swallows rice field in China: Frozen rice fields in Sichuan province were swallowed up by a

massive sinkhole Tuesday, with farmland collapsing into a pit ten metre across in the provinces Weiyuan

county. The cave-in occurred around 7pm on February 5, with an explosive sound heard by villagers 100

meters away, which some compared to the sound of firecrackers. No one was reported to have been killedor injured, according to China News Service, but villagers will have to deal with the gaping holes in the

middle of their land, while authorities monitor the area for further geologic instability. Shanghai List

and Environmental Quality took samples from Lake Peignuer today to find out what is causing the

bubbles. Last night, public officials, residents and other groups spoke out against AGL Resources, which

wants to expand natural gas storage below salt caverns under the lake. Residents fear it could be another

disaster waiting to happenlike the current sinkhole in Assumption Parish. Residents near Lake Peigneur

are already on edge since a 1980 accident involving an oil drilling rig. A miscalculation sent the rigs drill

directly into the salt mine instead of under the lake. The whirlpool that was created swamped several

acres of land and was strong enough to swallow barges from a nearby canal. Fast forward to todaythis isAGLs second attempt to get its permit. Several concerned residents want AGLs permit denied. We

have unknown bubbling, its definite. Theres no two ways about it, Nara Crowley, President of Save

Lake Peignuer, Inc. said. Crowley is worried that the bubbles indicate big problems, and shes against

AGLs proposed expansion of an underground natural gas storage facility. They should deny this permit.

We should have the environmental impact statement weve always asked for because thats all weve ever

asked for, and stop this project, Crowley said. If we get a big sink hole whats going to happen? We

dont know. The previous accident in 1980 took in 150 acres of land, Whats this one going to do,

concerned resident David Lecompte said. DNR says that its investigation into the bubbles is not related to

AGLs permit process. -KATC
