Days after the Ever Given became lodged in the canal, its rudder has been freed and dredging is complete. Some salvagers hope it could be freed this weekend, but the wait for shipping to resume continues.
Egyptian authorities Wednesday were engaged in a complicated effort to dislodge a giant container ship stuck in the Suez Canal, blocking all traffic on one of the world’s busiest shipping arteries.
The huge vessel got stuck in the canal sideways, with its bow wedged in one bank and its stern nearly touching the other, on Tuesday during a dust storm when wind speeds reached 40 knots, according to a person familiar with the incident.
When the Ever Given container ship ran aground in the Suez Canal on Tuesday, its bulk blocking shipping traffic through the key global thoroughfare, the world looked on, wondering how the authorities would manage to unstick the behemoth.
Days later, the vessel is still stuck, amid a frantic effort to free it, and fears over the cascading costs of the fallout. Already, shipping analysts estimated, the traffic jam has held up nearly $10 billion in trade each day.
Vessels packed with the world’s goods — including cars, oil, livestock and laptops — usually flow through the waterway with ease, supplying much of the globe as they transverse the quickest path from Asia and the Middle East to Europe and the East Coast of the United States.
Lots of conspiracies were told about the ship and it seems the news that we have from China will raise even more suspicion.
A photo on Weibo in mainland China went viral today (27). A truck carrying an "Evergreen container" was stuck on the highway, staged a road version of the "Evergreen" scene.
In the photo, it can be seen that the truck on the highway was photographed and downloaded with the "Evergreen Container". A squeezed SUV stuck on the edge of the road. The car from the rear was affected by the accident, and it was difficult to pass and nobody could move. According to the monitoring data, the accident occurred at about 9:55 this morning, and the accident site was on the Nanjing section of the Changchun-Shenzhen Expressway which is one of China's busiest highways.
Images below:
Long queues on the expressway due to car accidents are not very rare. But now that the Evergreen freighter is still blocking the Suez Canal, a similar accident is happening again, which inevitably makes everyone feel that the timing is too close, even it could be just a coincidence.
There were a lot of discussions.
People left messages saying, "Sea and land are blocked", "Awesome, monopolistic enterprise, in a physical sense", "Will Evergreen go to hell?", "Evergreen should pay more attention", " It’s exactly the same as the posture of a freighter going sideways.
What do you think?

There are some encouraging signs - some people are using more dubious sources, so it’s easier to call them out for credibility issues. For example, the Galactic One and others using Monkey Werx as a source. The same ignorant source that claimed that B-52s are atill armed with defensive guns. Tip - they haven’t been for years.
Oh, I’m pretty sure that shipping containers full of poor ickle captive children is retarded enough that anyone can figure it out.
I'm sending you in for crisis management intervention.
The hillbilly accent might scare them at first, so be aware.
And wear shoes. You will not only be representing America, but the entire retard community.
Thank you, Roger Ramjet.
You are truly the hero of our nation. Is there nothing you don't know?
“Looks like they opened the petting zoo early today.”
Don’t know about the petting zoo, but the Qball Freak Show is in town. No doubt about that.
“Trust Durham....”

Maybe someday you will turn off Fox News. Your IQ will go up 20 pts. Critical thinking will kick in. 😏
I think your Alzheimer’s has advanced. But I hear there’s a new drug for it. 😏
"Laaadies and gentlemen, and derps of all ages. Step right up. I have wonders beyond compare, the likes of which few men have seen and lived to tell the tale.
The bearded lady, Madame Moochelle. The world's fattest man, Nadler the Obese. Jo-Jo the dog-faced pony soldier.
And wonder of wonders, brought all the way here from the deepest jungles of the dark continent...Lurker Man, the missing link.
Watch as he feeds on the flesh of offal. See him contort his own body to suckle himself. Count the hairs on his back. Recoil at his serpents breath.
Step right up, just one shiny nickle".
Its experimental, but what the heck, right?
Are the mid terms still safe?
Is Rosenstein still a white hat?
Have those 162,437.6 sealed indictments been opened?
Are we still trusting Durham?
Barr?
Wray?
Qball losers...frauds...cult members. I’d say brainwashed but that assumes you have one.

Dial 9-1-1.
Did you like my freak show LARP? You know how I like to LARP.
AND YOU WERE IN IT!!! Cool, right?

No vaccine here, Qball. Had it. Antibodies confirmed.
Now your mom is calling, she’s got your Hot Pockets ready.

Not if I switch to your sources it won't.
You think Monkeywerx is dubious?
Have you ever watched it?
Yes. I watched the episode where he talked about the B-52 [still] having tail guns. Pretty big miss.
I would say one bad call or misspeak over at minimum dozens of videos does not make him dubious. He provides a lot of what many consider useful information regarding what is typically flying and where.
I watched 2 this week...They were informative to non-experts...unlike yourself.
Had I watched one and found something that was “a pretty big miss,” I would have questioned it/said something and maybe watched another video...Perhaps he meant that there are still tail gunners—there were at least until 2017+. Dunno unless you have the link...But I would not go on and label him dubious on other sites based on one video viewing. Not that it really matters as he has 467K subscribers, but I think it’s likely that there are Freepers here who would find his videos interesting.
I’ve watched some other videos several months ago. I’ll watch some re: AF1 designations, etc.
The one from Tues, 3/23 discusses software he uses, and 2 AF2s...an anomaly....
One from Fri 3/25 shows largest TFR he’s ever seen over most of Delaware.
I find it interesting there is none over Mara Largo...
I find them informative—however, I am no expert—if you don’t, please let me know if there is someone better.
Have good rest of your day.
😆
Monkey Werx know his stuff. My husband is a former pilot and worked at Boeing. He knows planes and he goes with what Monkey says for the most part.
