Tsunami-tossed boat spotted off western Canada


VANCOUVER, British Columbia — A large fishing vessel swept away by the tsunami that devastated Japan last year has been spotted adrift off British Columbia in western Canada.

Jeff Olsson of Victoria's Joint rescue coordination center says an airplane contracted by the government spotted the 50-foot-long (15-meter-long) vessel recently about 160 miles (260 kilometers) west of Haida Gwaii, slowly drifting toward shore.

The vessel has been identified as coming from Hokkaido, Japan. Olsson says no one is believed to be aboard and there's no environmental danger.

A maritime warning has been issued because the vessel could pose a navigational hazard.

About 5 million tons of debris were swept into the ocean in March 2011 when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake and tsunami struck Japan.

YUP, that's the flick went by on TV as a glanced at it, and posted about the audio....

and what with all this sat gear and other types, no one noticed??

odd, to me....and not every reassuring from a national security standpoint....

on the other hand, I can see that the entire crew and owner are dead...and that is sad.....:sadangel::sadangel::sadangel::sadangel::sadangel::sadangel::leaving:
