The Catastrophe of a Stopped Earth

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the Earth suddenly stopped spinning for just one second?

Everything on the surface — people, cars, buildings — would fly eastward at

over 1,000 miles per hour! Oceans would crash over continents, and cities would

be wiped out instantly. Thankfully... our planet keeps spinning safely. But imagine — one

second, and life as we know it could end.
