One bleeping big quake

The initial data suggests Friday's earthquake moved Japan's main island about 8 feet, according to Kenneth Hudnut of the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake also shifted Earth's figure axis by about 6 1/2 inches (17 centimeters), Gross added.

One of the videos I watched the other day... at first just looks like a fishing boat moving under a bridge. Then you realize that's a highway overpass, not a bridge. Damn.
