The enormous Earthquake in Chile that happend only a few short weeks after the Haiti earthquake killed 700 people and devastated much of the country. That's only a small degree of the power that the quake inflicted. NASA scientists believe that the quake moved the axis of the Earth by a few inches and shortened the length of a day by a few microseconds. That may seem insignificant, but the amount of force required to move the Earth is incomprehensible. Here's a link for the full STORY.
