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.

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.







ANIMAL BEHAVIOR: Disaster Precursors - 92-Year-Old Woman Dies Following Attack By Pack Of Dogs In Olympia, Washington?!

92-year-old Gladys Alexander dies after dog attack

March 9, 2016 - WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES - A woman who was the victim of a violent attack by dogs has died, according to the Harborview Medical Center.

Gladys Alexander, 92, walked across the street late Sunday to give her neighbor a newspaper when she was attacked by four pit bull mix dogs.

Thurston County Sheriff's investigators say the homeowner was running errands and returned home to find the dogs attacking Alexander. She stopped the attack.

Only a KIRO 7 camera was there as investigators for Thurston County Animal Services removed the dogs from the Scott Lake home near Olympia.

Their docile demeanor, a stark contrast to the way they behaved when a television crew showed up Monday.

It was very likely the same way they seemed late Sunday afternoon when Gladys Alexander walked into the house while, unbeknownst to her, the homeowner was away. Those who saw Alexander after the attack said the dogs tore away nearly all the flesh from a leg and an arm.

She died at 11:55 a.m. Tuesday at Harborview Medical Center.

As word spread, those living in her tight-knit neighborhood began bringing flowers to her home. The authorities say that though Alexander was killed by the dogs, no crime was committed because they were confined to their home and she, in effect, trespassed.

It is a bitter pill, however, for those who knew her.

"I understand that," said Nancy Jenrette. "At the same time, it just feels so criminal that she had to have suffered so tragically and that she ended up having to die in this manner. It's just horrific."

The owner of the dogs has agreed to have one dog euthanized. The other three dogs belong to her daughter who is in jail.

They will all be quarantined for 10 days while a decision is made about their fate.

Law enforcement on dog attacks in Western Washington

After a 63-year-old woman was attacked by pitbulls in SeaTac in summer 2009, King County Sheriff John Urquhart - then a sergeant and department spokesman -- said deputies see more animal-related calls in the summer.

"People will say there are no bad dogs, just bad dog owners," he told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer at the time. "We don't agree with that."

Seattle Animal Shelter Don Jordan has said Seattle's approach is to "focus on the deed, not the breed." He has that take after that SeaTac attack and another in that city, and had the same response when there were calls to ban Rottweilers in Seattle in the 1990s.

In 2012, the last complete year for which KIRO 7 has complete data, there were 30 reports of pit bulls biting humans, more than any other dog breed.

There were 18 reports for Labrador retrievers and nine reports for Rottweilers that year. - KIRO7.

March 9, 2016 - SEATTLE, UNITED STATES - An explosion in Seattle on Wednesday flattened two buildings and shook a neighborhood, prompting a large response by emergency officials. At least nine firefighters were reported injured in the blast. The suspected cause was a natural gas leak.

The explosion, reported around 1:45 a.m. Pacific time, was so loud that it could be heard as far away as Shoreline, a community about 10 miles north of downtown Seattle.

The police and firefighters descended on the scene, near the intersection of Greenwood Avenue North and 85th Avenue North, in Greenwood, a neighborhood in the north-central part of the city. 






The blast shook the neighborhood, which is known for its concentration of restaurants, bars and coffee shops and has of late been home to middle-class families and upscale professionals.

According to The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the explosion leveled two buildings, one of them a convenience store, and blew out several windows of nearby buildings. The Fire Department said that 67 employees were sent to the scene.
