People who are interested in such things will remember that a few weeks back a 2,000 foot long plastic collection boom was deployed in the Pacific Ocean to pick up and therefore clean up a lot of the plastic waste from China that is clogging up our oceans. The boom never did in fact function properly, it did NOT work as advertised.
Now the boom has broken up. Probably attacked by whales and dolphins who object to stupidity on general principles. It is being towed back in pieces to Hawaii where they will attempt to fix it. If they are unable to do so it will be towed back to Alameda where they will build a shrine to good intentions out of the pieces.
I just made up that part about the shrine. Probably.
