Snip: RT With the ship unable to dislodge on its own, Egyptian authorities have dispatched heavy machinery in an apparent bid to dig out the sand around the vessel. The hastily-arranged operation has prompted eye rolls on social media, however, with netizens pointing at the massive size difference between the regular digger and the Ever Given similar to that of David and Goliath. -50% https://www.rt.com/news/518965-ship-stuck-suez-canal/ The problem is those who are letting these mega-container ships through the Suez canal, not the Lady Captain. I was down at Suez Canal. I have seen it with my own eyes at different places. :wtf: [/quote] "Wars closed the canal to traffic on two occasions, in 1956-57 and again in 1967-75, causing massive disruption to global shipping and economies of major countries."

Original Message
A giant container ship has run aground in the Suez canal, causing a traffic jam of vessels at either end of the vital international trade artery.
The 220,000-tonne, 400m-long Ever Given became stuck in the canal on Tuesday and several attempts to refloat it failed.
