US government ignores archipelago of Japanese debris heading its way
"The United States is awaiting the arrival of a blot of debris three times its own size from Japan. But despite new objects washing up daily on the West Coast, Washington is hoping the problem will literally just disappear.
Earlier this week, a 70-foot metal dock turned up on the Oregon shore. Japanese officials immediately identified its original home – the Japanese city of Misawa, which had been devastated by the tsunami in March 2011.
The dock is only the forerunner of a much more dangerous wave of flotsam, Chris Pallister, who heads Gulf of Alaska Keeper, a coastal clean-up organization, told AP.
"There are going to be a lot of drums full of chemicals that we won't be able to identify."
Tonight, Saturday June 9, John Wells is going to have a four hour program about Fukushima on Coast to Coast. It may well be the most important radio program ever broadcasted.
