This sounds remarkably like the theories of Immanuel Velikovsky.

No it doesn't...it still happens slowly - a few feet a year.

That was just my thought! In fact, quite a few years ago I read a book by a British scientist who was convinced of Velikosvsky's theories and wrote about the earth turning over - similar to this article - only caused by a large metorite just missing Earth (I think). He was not a Christian, but claimed this is what caused the appearance of the "sun standing still" as recorded in Joshua 10. He demonstrated in the book how when the earth turned over it would appear from those on earth as though the sun moved backward across the sky for one day and then would return to its normal pattern.

Immanuel Velikovsky

Velikovsky's theories make more sense than the one in the article. The calculated weight of Earth is just short of 6 sextillion metric tons, a 6 followed by 18 zeros. If there was ever a volcano "heavy" enough to move the Earth's rotation, the position of the poles would be mankind's least problem.
