Very misleading headline. I believe what is meant is a “Texas Sized Debris Field”, which is an awful lot different than “Texas sized Island of Debris.” Just take the stated tonnage from the article and divide that by the square milage of Texas to get a feel for how dispersed the debris really is.

You are correct. That’s 3.73 tons per square mile, or .04 OUNCES per square yard, or 15 pounds per football field (120 x 53 yards).

Not if the debris was packing Styrofoam peanuts...lol
But you’re right....first thing I thought too...size of Texas?

How does a motorcycle float to BC?

Air in tires and gas tank?t

Sure wasn’t a Valkyrie...maybe a scooter like post DUI guys use
