Any idea if there's a chance a body or two might wash up?

Is it radioactive debris?

The DBS: Is it radioactive debris?

ARTICLE!

I was down at Malibu Beach and saw hundreds and hundreds Realdolls washed up on the beach. But turns out they were just California women sunbathing.

There is going to be a greater than normal amount of severed feet washing up on the shores in BC and WA, I would imagine.

Peter von Nostrand: Is this considered new because it's now reaching California?

Stuff only matters when it inconveniences Americans.

Is there anything else on the west coast?

TFA says there could be body parts floating ashore but I don't know if that would happen. Given they have been at sea for 10 months, I would assume that aquatic life would have made meals out of the human remains. That or the remains would have sunken to the ocean floor by now. I have no knowledge in this field but I would think that would be the case.

So beyond human remains....any cases of Pocky washing ashore?

/Love me some pocky sticks!

Probably a few used school girls in there, too...

That comment is both cynical and crass. Incidentally, also correct.

Peter von Nostrand: Is this considered new because it's now reaching California?

I was thinking the same thing...Wouldn't it have started washing up in Hawaii long before this? Has Canada had any reporting of this? I don't think the Philippines are along an ocean current which would have delivered debris from Japan...but then again, I could be wrong.

Well get them back when they get covered in BP oil.

Remember, the more we destroy everything, the less the hippies win!

Success comes from self-annihilation!

I'm weirdly motivated to start ambling along the beaches here in So Cal just to see WHAT washes up- it'll have to be some pretty unusual stuff and I would be delighted to reunite some Japanese with a lost-and-presumed-detroyed bit of family memorabilia.

Sure but if I have a simple question like that I'll check the article first before asking in thread.

The Philippines aren't really close to the North Pacific gyre, I think the gyre moves north once it gets near the Marianas Trench or the Ogasawara Islands. Canada, on the other hand, might get a few bits of debris, but we may not hear about it if nothing drifts near Vancouver (if we haven't heard from Seattle, we may not hear from Vancouver).

OK, no girls so far; just a few buoys.

Let me know when it inconveniences Mongolians so I can apply the care appropriately.

i am now officially researching the possiblity of a vending machine full of womens panties floating across the Pacific. Aim for San Diego!!!

Stranger things have happened on west coast beaches.

On the plus side now beachcombers will glow in the dark

I was on a pan-pacific cruise for most of October. Most days at sea, we would go hours without seeing anything - then one day, for about 30 minutes we passed through a debris field (about one major item a minute floated by). Baby bottles, shoes, huge fishing nets & floats, styrofoam, lumber, etc. At first I was excited to see *something,* but then I realized the shoes were likely attached to people when they went into the water. It was pretty sobering.

What is that, a town in northern California?

Did everybody cut footloose?

This is the projected debris field:

The items hitting the West Coast now are probably the lighter, more wind-driven things.

I'll be at the beach if you need me.

Michiu Kaku has crossed the line into a lying bag who makes science look bad. Is there anything that his PhD doesn't do? He allows anyone to cite him as an expert on anything. He is also taking away the chances for legitimate experts to make statements about their fields, which should be punishable by some kind of Scientist Credentialing Society.

Cripes. Why aren't they trying to scoop some of that sh*t out of the water? Just get some big ships and a net. Drag it somewhere where it can be dealt with.

wow, alot of free, radioactive japanese stuff. lucky you.

It's so bizarre that the debris field is larger than the origin source.

Maybe, maybe not. A lot of houses were washed out to sea, along with shoe stores, trucks carrying shoes, etc. So there are likely a great deal more of them that were stored in closets that ended up in the Pacific.

But if any human remains do wash ashore, it's likely going to be in shoes. They float, after all, and protect the feet from animals. You might see a couple bodies trapped in larger debris, but probably not many.

I have seen it said that they expected some cars to make it across, but that doesn't seem likely. Wouldn't those sink pretty quickly?

To be honest I had a lot of respect for him before he started talking as an authority outside of his field of physics. I liked him during his talks with Art Bell on Coast to Coast AM back in the 90's. His own radio show in the mid 2000's was great, his books impressed me. When he started appearing on every Universe/science related show and started talking on subjects he was no expert in, that's when I started losing respect for the guy.
