Quoting: GonViral Since then, the two researchers, known as DriftBusters Inc. — who have used flotsam to track wind and water currents in the Pacific since 1970 — have learned that the black, 55-gallon drum-sized floats also have been found on Vancouver Island. Ebbesmeyer and Ingraham spoke to more than 100 people at Peninsula College and brought the float with them, along with examples of other items that may be showing up on beaches in the next year. link.. [link to www.peninsuladailynews.com] YOU TUBE.... ooo...lala.. Ebbesmeyer suggested local police take steps to have sensitive Geiger counters available to scan items — just to be safe. The event was unprecedented, and no one knows yet what levels of radiation, if any, items have picked up, he said. |

Quoting: Children of the Atom Thanks for sharing this. This'll be a lesson gone unlearned. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant leaked a large amount of radiation into the water in the wake of the tsunami, and no one knows what levels of contamination there are in the currents, and the items being carried in those currents, he said.

WOW. "There are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know." |

| CanadaIn NIC User ID: 7488445  Nicaragua12/21/2011 09:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, we all knew it was going to crop up somewhere... What's sad is that there is no preparation at all being done for those further south. Central America are probably eating radiation infected fish as the local fishermen don't follow the news... The only thing to do is avoid the beaches, and don't eat anything that comes from the sea... "Carpe Diem" |
