I was just getting ready to do a search to see if any of the news media had anything on the story. But then I realized, I can't! At least not my usual way.

It is that totality, of everything usual in a routine way, not being there, being dead, which onsets the shock and seizure of paralysis. Literally, a person is immobilized, catatonic.
And it is death to sit there. Which is why advance planning, and then action and preparation, is vital.
The problem being that it is inevitable that everything breaks down because the entire Matrix, what we call the Establishment,' or 'System,' is grown overlarge, fed on itself, upsized its bearing fruits and downsized its supporting branches of infrastructure. In that image, it is as inevitable as the seasons, and this is harvest time, when the melon sits engorged, ripe and overripe to decay and rot into a soup where the seeds germinate, while the vine is withered and leaves yellow, and that umbilical ages brittle, and breaks.
And here sit we, alive in the internet, The Big Gourd and 200-year harvest of it all, since electricity was put in wires and social intercourse was put in telegrams and telephones and vibrated in the air of receive-transmit radio ... before and apart from the coming of oil and engines and horsepower. And all bigger than one person, one seed in The Gourd, can provide itself.
Food, water, garment, shelter, electricity, community, are delivered to us by 'someone else,' in 'remote control' of us. For many of us it amounts to 'remote magic' -- we have no 'control.' "Obviously," we say, but it has never before humanly been this way, yet it is all we have ever known. And it can break down without maintenance, and it can be torn down with sociopathic malice. Then we revert to 'ground state,' and sit immobilized and stranded alone if we are not each individually prepared to take root where we land.
The worst of Time, the best of Time.
The end of Time, the start of Time.

Wow, Tenskwatawa -- that was way too deep for me this morning when I haven't had any caffeine.

Something else you never see. Or, in techspeak, 'a sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.'
There exists an 'advanced' technology, which me and many geeks know about and helped to build -- so it is not 'sufficiently' ahead of everyone enough to be out of sight, beyond the 'event horizon.' Extreme low frequency, is what it is. R & D'ed in submarine developments; now blamed by circumstantial evidence for 'beaching' whale pods, and driving dolphins and porpoises out of the water -- in the circumstance that ocean ELF invention, and droves of creatures escaping their ocean habitat first began at the same time!
So comes this, and geeks might know it is valid and possible.
N E W S F L A S H August 2, 2007: Minneapolis. Reports from Russia's Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics located in Irkutsk are reporting today that their Siberian Solar Radio Telescope (SSRT) detected a 'massive' ultra low frequency (ULF) 'blast' emanating from 45° 00' N 93° 15' W at the 'exact' moment, and location, of a catastrophic collapse of a nearly 2,000 foot long bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota, stating that the total collapse of such a massive bridge could only have been accomplished by an acoustic weapon, which the United States Military is known to possess.
One of the United States primary research organizations into acoustic weapons research is Augsburg College, and which is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, less than 1 mile from the collapse.
If there is one place on Earth, (but in fact there are more), where it is possible that they could detect planet ELF events, it is this place. (Although I can't manage in that foreign language server to find the original news bulletin, perhaps others can.) Whether or not they could (be heard to) report it, (and get through the US propaganda curtain wrapped around a tech-clueless magic-gullible group), is a political matter, where physics doesn't say what goes, psych-outs do.
For your technical information, ELF (or ULF) emanations can cause mine collapses and shifts of stressed Earth faults.
