Gibbs discusses the Japan's cataclysmic earthquake that set off a chain reaction felt round the world. The 9.0 quake that hit Japan on Mar 11, 2011 was powerful enough to shift the earth on its axis and make it spin a little faster, shortening the day by 1.8 millionths of a second. It shoved the island nation one parking space to the east. But what felt like the end was just the beginning. It only started as a natural disaster; the next waves were all man-made, as money fled to higher ground. Fear and uncertainty sheared $700 billion off the Toyko Stock Exchange in three days.
