earthquake moved Japan closer to US, shortened day

the country shifted 13 feet to the East.
More than likely the earth shifted on its axis 6.5 inches
speeding the rotation & shortening the day by 1.8 millionths of a second.
 
"The Pacific plate has moved a maximum of 20m westwards, 
but the amount of movement will vary even within the fault,"
