Scientists model where and when the debris from the March 2011 Japanese tsunami will be.  The likelihood that the debris (not radioactive) will reach the U.S. west coast is increasingly likely.  Look at the great video attached to the article.   


Brian Nicoll's insight:
It will be very interesting to see if this floating pile of junk actually reaches the west coast of the United States. It seems possible that it could, but some of the scientists and other experts believe that it could also break up and sink before it reaches us. One of my questions going in was whehter or not the wreckage was radioactive? Luckily it is not radioactive and that should not be a concern for anyone.
