8.8 Magnitude Earthquake Shifts Earth's Axis

There are earthquakes that have little or no impact and then there are earthquakes that change the entire planet. We're seeing more an more of those kinds of earthquakes. So, what's going on here?

Every earthquake has some unique characteristics to it because of the location, depth, and intensity. The Haiti 7.0 magnitude earthquake will be remembered for the massive devastation of life (200,000 killed?) and total destruction of a city (Port-au-Prince). The five hundred fold in power 8.8 earthquake in Chile only killed some 800 people; however, it was so powerful it shortened our day here on earth! 

As a spiritual-futurist, I have a BA degree majoring in history. One cannot know the future without knowing the past which holds clues to what is on the horizon. The world is in such a rapid expansion of knowledge that we are close to entering a tipping point that will forever change earth as we know it.
