Plaintiffs were able to prove 3,800 deaths. It could well be larger than that but certainly not smaller. Lets just guess that the body counters were so inept that they only counted every other body. I don't know how you miss 3,80 bodies, but I suppose it could happen. They would actually have to be miscount by a factor of six, or missing eighteen-thousand bodies. Now if each body weighs say, 100 pounds, that's almost a million pounds of meat rotting away that folks seem to have missed.
Get a shovel.

I still don't follow. Are you saying that someone affiliated with a lawsuit counted bodies and came up with 3,800? And Greenpeace claims that someone counted bodies and came with with 21,000 (plus or minus)? If so, then I doubt that those counts are apples to apples. The Greenpeace number, for example, might include people whose deaths were too remotely connected to the disaster to be included in a claim for damages. The way you portray it (3,800 versus 21,000) makes Greenpeace look like a bunch of liars.
