Japanese Tsunami Ghost Ship Spotted Off Canadian Coast

An anonymous reader writes with an excerpt from an article in Inhabitat: "After Japan was hit with a devastating earthquake in March 2011, the Pacific nation was rocked by a massive tsunami that destroyed thousands of coastal houses, cars and boats and swept millions of tons of debris out into the ocean. Now, it looks like some of that debris could be approaching North America. Last week, an unmanned boat identified as a Japanese fishing vessel was spotted off the coast of Canada, indicating that after more than a year, some of that debris could still be on its way to American and Canadian shores."

    Most of the initial material release was Iodine, the vast majority of which has since decayed.

    Of course, your statements are completely un-sourced so unless you can link to such a statement you either tried, and failed, to be funny or are just spreading nonsense.
