Japanese Tsunami Ship Nearing Canada

March 24, 2012

Wow. One year later, a catastrophe’s strange side effects, far, far away:

“A fishing trawler swept away more than a year ago by a tsunami off the east coast of Japan has been spotted floating near British Columbia, Canadian officials said…

The trawler is part of a giant debris field that was generated by the giant wall of water that struck the east coast of the island nation following a 9.0 earthquake, sweeping everything from cars to houses into the ocean.”

There’s a whole lot of other stuff out there, too. Check out this story, and this map someone made last November:

    I’m wondering if it’s going to be salvaged & returned. It’s make for a fun reality show, talk about it’s previous life before the tsunami & then the recovery and return to Japan. Just a thought!
