4 right feet and 1 left foot found near Vancouver
June 20, 2008
This is something Bizarre that has occurred in Vancouver over the Last couple of Years.
5 feet encased in shoes have turned up on Beaches in the southwestern BC Area!
This Bizarre occurrence seems to be a chapter out of a novel from the famed ( West Vancouver) writer Douglas Coupland . *
Speculation abounds as to the source of these feet ~ from serial Killers to organized crime.
I believe the cause is much less nefarious ~ after many months consideration I have come up with my own Theory . I believe these feet are actually from a previous disaster ~ the December 26 tsunami in malasia.
There is a strange phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean called the “Pacific Dump” a large area of debris in the Pacific that accumulates Ocean debris. I speculate that if a persons body was set out to sea ( as was the case of many persons during the afore mentioned disaster)~ most of the persons body would be consumed by marine wildlife. The foot portion would ( being encased in a runner ) be less odoriferous and less likely to be consumed. The fact that the shoe has flotation, combined with the natural pacific ocean currents would lead the shoe ( with foot encased and preserved in the natural ocean brine) to end up in the “Pacific Dump” .
Now comes the interesting part of my theory ~ the fact that a majority of the feet are right feet can be explain by the natural position of the shoe in the water ( upside down ~ due to the buoyancy of the sole and the weight of the foot inside) combined with the “air foil chord shape ” of the shoe in the current of the “dump” would lead to a higher percentage of right feet escaping the swirl that is the “Pacific Dump“. the left shoes would tend to get pushed toward the center.
