    Who do we send the bill to as this could just be the start? If it was the US's stuff floating around there would be global outcry and demand that we do something about it.

    This ship was already at a scrapyard in japan. It was waiting to be cut up when the Tsunami swept it out to sea. They say that the fuel tanks were most likely empty and that the ship was probably almost complteley gutted. Still you would think that a salvage company would have gone out and towed her in and sold it off to another ship scrapper.
