Quake moved Japan coast 8 feet, shifted Earth's axis

(CNN) -- The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis.

"At this point, we know that one GPS station moved (8 feet), and we have seen a map from GSI (Geospatial Information Authority) in Japan showing the pattern of shift over a large area is consistent with about that much shift of the land mass," said Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Also, I read that the whole island of Japan sunk 2 feet... the 8-foot shift was eastward towards the 20,000-foot sheer drop of the Japan-Mariana Trench to the bottom of the Pacific Floor.  Japan geologist and seismologist have confirmed this.  Apparently, this whole region will eventually collapse and appears as though it will submerge beneath the Pacific Tectonic Plate which is overrunning Japan.  I posted last year on the CF a vision in which Japan will sink and vanish into the Pacific Ocean as a result of the repercussion effects of a worldwide cosmocataclysm, mega-bolide asteroid impact events causing a pole shift.
