(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.
Initial results out of Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology show that the 8.9-magnitude earthquake that rattled Japan Friday shifted the earth's rotation axis by about 25 centimetres.

I think this says much for the Japanese - there have been no riots, no looting - hearing no reports of crime taking place.
I likely wouldn't be saying the same if something like that happened in North America.

1) It's winter in Japan too! Nobody riots when the temperature gets near freezing.
2) If they riot and loot.....there are no roads to escape with your loot....and no home to go to....and no outlets to plug your "new" appliances into.
3) on a more serious note.....the people are still in shock and the shaking (aftershocks) haven't ceased. Aftershocks measuring up to 6, btw.
