The Khian Sea really isn't a Sea?

The Khian Sea incident resulted from the laziness and neglect of the American Nation. The United States incinerates most of its waste, so as a result we are left with an abundance of toxic ash, which contains heavy metals and dioxins. One solution to dispose of all this waste is to export it to developing countries. Unfortunately this practice has lead to devastating incidents, with detrimental ecological, economic, and political consequences. In 1986, a cargo ship named the Khian Sea laden with over 14,000 tons of incinerator ash from Philadelphia, PA, began its destructive journey as it swept across numerous continents in search of a place to dump it volatile load. The ship initially dumped between two and three thousand tons of ash near the beach of Gonaives, Haiti, before they were ordered to leave by officials. The ship then spent the next two years attempting to unload its municipal cargo on numerous continents, before later dumping the waste in the Indian Ocean. The toxic waste ended up on a Haitian beach for more than a decade before finally being returned to Philadelphia. This incident is a testament to the neglect and overall unethical behavior that has been at the precipice of America’s position on environmental safety. It is recorded that the Khian Sea actually changed its name and country of origin numerous times to deceive other countries. How can an American cargo ship be so deceitful in a task which is only a problem because of our negligence and ignorance? There needs to be tighter legislation and better environmental planning to prevent our need to seek refuge for our trash on other countries. The planet is becoming sick, and at the moment America is the disease that is plaguing Earth. If we continue to attack other countries by spreading our disease through vessels such as the Khian Sea how much longer can Earth survive?
