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.
Scientists have already discovered debris on the west coast but their latest findings suggest California is expected to be hit with a deluge all at once.
Americas 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.

Disguise it as an EBT distribution center, push it back out to sea and Cali’s problems will be solved!

And how much of it is radioactive? Oh well, the scope of this is difficult to fathom but so is welcoming illegals from Mexico.

I remember reading a year or so ago about a freighter that reported entering a debris field somewhere in the mid-Pacific that they indicated was in excess of one-hundred miles long East-West and stretching as far as the eye could see North-South. Gonna be a Hell of a mess for whoever’s shore it winds up on.
