We don’t even have an account of how the incident started. Just pictures of the aftermath. So it is kind of hard to predict what caused it. I am pretty sure they already know. But they are not talking.

Probably Christmas ‘26.

I’m sure the stores are already full of Christmas ‘25 junk. We’ve been out of the country three weeks, so I don’t know. I DO know that the Home Depot had their snow blowers on display around August 15 in the midst of a big heat wave.

Are you kidding? This is a major port. They can’t leave that junk down there to pile up. And regardless of the merchandise that container is worth a lot of money. Divers and a crane and it will all be up in a day or two.

Slim to none - and Slim skipped town last week.

Do folks have any idea who controls port operations at many of our major ports...?

From 2021...

CPP Investments assumes sole ownership of Ports America Founded in 1921, Ports America manages 13.4 million TEUs annually.

When I saw the crusty looking blue container in the pic below, it made me wonder if this was simply a matter of older rusty containers packed near the bottom beginning to fold under the weight above and the resulting shift in weight set off the cascading collapse.

:: They will recover every container, count on that. ::

Followed by a huge sale at TJ Maxx!
I can hear the wife’s credit card warming up now.
