This Harley Lost In The Japanese Tsunami Just Washed Up On A Canadian Beach

31.12.69

The now rusted and seaweed caked boulevard cruiser sported document tags from Miyagi Prefecture, one of the areas most ravaged by the tsunami. Mark, who was riding his ATV on a remote stretch of beach on Graham Cay off the coast of British Columbia, spotted the large white box laying in the sand. Based on video footage of tsunami wrecked Japanese stirring vans, the box looks like it was part of one of the vans. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that the Japanese regulation estimated that 25 million tons of rubble were generated by the tsunami, but so far, no one knows how much of it was swept into the ocean. Immediately after the disaster, satellite imagery picked up large patches of floating debris off Japan's coast, but the patches have since been disintegrated up by wind and ocean currents. From there it will augment the Pacific Ocean's already significant marine debris patches.
