BillTheBinMan 0 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Apparently the Environment Ministry has estimated that there is 25 million tons of debris in the main prefectures in Tohoku affected by the tsunami. That's just mindblowing. As my dad has said way too many times, where will all that go? Link to post Share on other sites
mitchpee 10 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 25 million tons isn't even a fathomable amount. That is insane, my best to anyone that has to clean up all of that. Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 That's just nuts. Makes my "big clean" seem rather more minor! http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/409742/A_big_clean.html Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 And just think of all the many tons and tons of debris that got pulled out to sea..... heading for my parents beach front property back in Canada. Link to post Share on other sites

veronica 2 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 It's difficult to imagine how you even start picking up the pieces being confronted with that lot. I heard some towns even lost all records of their townfolk. Where to start? Link to post Share on other sites

The really sad thing is in that 25 million tons are so many personal belongings, history and peoples whole lives. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 My grandad comment "Just think everything will have gone, even their passport!" He was very concerned that some people might have lost their passports for some reason. Older people come out with some strange comments! Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I would never choose 16 as my age to aspire too. Too many rubbish stuff going on. 20 is better I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites
