Considering how badly this thing failed, I'm now willing to consider that it may have been a CIA op after all

It “partially refloated” enough for the rear end of the boat to swing around and “partially re-open” the canal but now more of the boat seems to be stuck in the sand bar than ever, especially when the tide goes down, so the chances of it listing over and filling the canal with containers may have gone up

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“two vast and rusted anchors of steel

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered vessel lies, whose propellers,

And shattered hull, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its designer well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the bow, these words appear:

My name is Ever Given, King of Ships;

Look on my cargo hold, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

It would be great if this encourages ships to stay in the gulf of Suez, but the lowering tide causes the ship to be stuck even more in the sand and keeps the canal obstructed

I have received credible reports from highly respectable sources that the ship is with engines on, operating at a speed of a tenth of a knot, having kept that speed for a full hour, totally not sideways and thus extremely able to reach the good port of Rotterdam at the 31st of March as established

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.
looks like she has a portside list judging from this photo:




Might be intentional, but it might also mean that the rock is going to puncture another hole in the portside compartments when the tide drops.


Ever Given will hopefully never stop giving. We must pray.

ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

one imagines that the egyptians and/or the freight companies will have armed men in the first several boats to get through to prevent shenanigans

also this has shown just how vulnerable these systems are, if i were an enterprising terrorist out to make a name for myself and then immediately die i'd take note
