Five millions tons of debris made up of devastated property is making its way to the US following the 2011 tsunami in Japan
A floating island of debris three times the size of BRITAIN is heading for the California coastline sparking huge environmental concerns.
Five millions tons of rubbish made up of devastated homes, boats, cars and businesses is making its way across the Pacific Ocean following the 2011 tsunami in Japan.

America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released their latest findings showing a huge island of rubbish floating northeast of the Hawaiian Islands.
Boffins have been unable to say for certain when the debris will wash ashore but they have been closely monitoring its movements which stretches from Alaska to the Philippines.

But the ones eagerly hoping this junk hits your state will be very happy to tell you what great Christians they are. Just ask them.
If this hits Streisand's house on the coast, there will be hell to pay!
Just ask James Brolin. He's been there...down that!
Ya know, it's a good thing that part of the world is so zealously environmentally conscientious. Otherwise, I could see less scrupulous cultures actually dumping more odious debris into the mix.
Sort of like Arlo Guthrie figuring that one big pile of garbage is better than two little piles.
Put fences around it and people will swarm for salvage rights - climb fences just to salvage.
Its no fun if it is just out there for the picking. You have to escape difficulties to make the debris salvaging worth the effort.
Put it on TV as "The Great American Salvage".
See you at the Emmys!
Malibu. Dear God, let it be Malibu!
California is a dump. Trash always go to the dump.
Different “island” maybe. Hope they don’t collide.

What physical destruction will it do? It may be unsightly, it may require cleanup, but I can’t foresee any destruction.
There is a syfy show there somewhere
Of course, topsoil won’t float, so anything denser than topsoil won’t float either.
They should make a nation of it and call it “Algoreland”.
