ONE DAY I WOKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAMMED A MASSIVE CONTAINER SHIP INTO THE SUEZ CANAL. ITS JUST-IN-TIME MANUFACTURING AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE GLOBAL TRADE STOPPED MOVING ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, EVER GIVEN. THEY TRIED EVERY MOVE AND THEY TRIED EVERY MOVE HARD. MAKIN EXASPERATED SOUNDS AS THEY UNEARTHED THE BOW AND EVEN WHEN THE TUGBOATS MESSED UP TECHNIQUE. NOT MANY CAN SAY THEY CAUSED A 9.6 BILLION DOLLAR A DAY CRISIS IN INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. I CAN. I SAY IT AND I SAY IT OUTLOUD EVERYDAY TO INVESTORS AND ALL THEY DO IS PROVE INVESTORS NEED TO DIVERSIFY THEIR PORTFOLIOS.

Had to look this one up, yup:

quote:

The Piasecki PA-97 Helistat was an American experimental heavy-lift aircraft, built by Piasecki by fastening four H-34J helicopters to a framework beneath a helium-inflated blimp envelope.[1] The sole prototype was lost during a test flight, killing a test pilot and injuring another four in the course of a single incident.[2]

quote:

A gust of wind from the rear of the aircraft induced some movement across the ramp. The undercarriage responded badly to this, the bogies shimmying uncontrollably.[3] Vibration in the framework then coupled with a helicopter phenomenon known as ground resonance.[3] The vibration was sufficient to cause a structural failure as the starboard rear helicopter broke off its mounting, its rotors cutting into the gasbag.[3] The unbalanced lift then made the vibrations worse and the remaining three helicopters broke free.[3][2]

its really cool that we have cargo boats so big that they can get stuck in a canal that's already been widened in 2014. and this isnt even the biggest one

With cargo ships ports have always to either build new deep sea terminals or just deepening existings terminals and/or canals and then they will build ships with even more draft and the cycle continues lol

Isnt the limiting factor for ship size basically so they can fit through the Panama canal?

For american shipping there is the panamax/neopanamax standard yes. But China/India/Africa/Europe traffic doesn't give a poo poo about America.

Like neopanamax maximum lenght is 366m, the Ever Given is 400m for example.
