GEOLOGICAL UPHEAVAL: Film Shows Dockyard Floor "BREATHING" In Cadimare, Italy - Local Media Claims The Motion Is A Result Of WAVES Beneath The Pavement?! [VIDEO]

After a few seconds, viewers can hear waves as the pavement begins to lurch upwards before resettling

March 9, 2016 - ITALY - Unnerving footage of a pavement appearing to take a series of deep breaths has emerged online.

The clip shows the 'possessed' paved dockyard in Cadimare, Italy, rising and falling from the 'force of the tide', local media reports.

Despite claims that the movement is caused by waves beneath the pathway, some people remain unconvinced, claiming that the video was made courtesy of 3D computer graphics.

At the beginning of the footage, which was uploaded to Viral Hog, the affected dockway remains still with a barrier placed above it.


WATCH: Waves move below dockyard in Cadimare, Italy.




After a few seconds, viewers can hear waves as the pavement begins to lurch upwards before resettling.

According to Nine Msn, the force of the tide coming into the coastal town in the Gulf of La Spezia is apparently so strong that it causes parts of the floor in the centre to move.

People have claimed online that the moving pavement is actually down to Gozer the Destroyer from Ghostbusters, who haunts the ground.

Despite several comments stating that the dockyard's movement is caused by the water beneath it, many remain sceptical.

One YouTube user, Lucassnakesman said: 'That's either some amazing special effects or something really f***** up is going on.

Another said: 'It's not real. Look at the legs of the steel barrier, they're 3D computer graphics.' - Daily Mail.

EXTREME WEATHER: Severe Heat Wave Causing the Concrete to Buckle on Roads and Sidewalks in the U.S. Midwest!

The Midwest heat wave is causing headaches for the Department of Transportation, as roads around the area are giving way.  Not only does this heat have an effect on people but the streets and pavement can only take so much.

A curb at 33rd Street and Dakota Avenue in Sioux Falls buckled from the heat Tuesday afternoon. The DOT says these buckle problems can strike any patch of concrete at anytime.  For many Interstate-29 travelers, Monday's trip had an unexpected bump that led to flat tires and delays. A section of the roadway buckled under the heat. An unpredictable occurrence, but not a rare one for our area.  "It all depends on how hot it gets, quite often we see them in late July and August but yesterday and today temperatures are in the low 90's, it's not uncommon to see that." Said Greg Aalberg.  

Aalberg is the engineering supervisor for the South Dakota Department of Transportation and says there's not much you can do to prevent buckling.  Aalberg says all concrete has the potential to buckle, sometimes it's streets others it's sidewalks or medians. When the temperatures rise it forces the concrete to expand and in most cases the only place it can go is up.  like the old adage, something's gotta give, and when it does Aalberg's team is ready to roll.  "We get some asphalt in there for a temporary fix and then come back later and saw it all out and replace it with new concrete." Said Aalberg.  Unfortunately for Monday's travelers, they're responsible for covering the damage to their vehicles. So when you're out driving this summer, whether it be on the interstate or just around the block, remember these buckling buggers can strike at anytime.  "You can go through a day where it can get to 90 degrees and you may not have a blow up it's just an unknown thing and we try and be as prepared as we can so that if it does happen we can respond." Said Aalberg.  One of the DOT's repair trucks was hit by a car while they were trying to patch the I-29 buckle. So it's just another reminder to slow down when crews are on the roads. - KSFY.
