There has been a change in the shape of earth crust due to this terrible earthquake caused by displacement over Asian tectonic plates. This has resulted in 8 feet around/ over the epicentre.

Such a huge change in shape of earth's crust, resulting change in earth's momentum/ GD2 around Sun; resulting our day is now shorter by fraction of micro-second!
