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.

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?
Scroll down and leave your comment below.
Any move against China will have to be indapendantly done (like bombing Syria) by the military. Biden will not move against China. He IS China.
Is someone other than Biden/Harris/Derp directing our military?
If so, who?

World burns?
You’re quite the drama queen.
I’m not sure how you think posting trivial crap (a truck blocking a road) from ChiCom social media (Weibo) counts as news, much less world is burning news.
Perhaps you can explain that.
I’m just giving pointers to the blog pimp. I did say he tried and his effort was better than a lot of others I’ve read.
Maybe it is time to reactivate the SILK ROAD across land.
Think about all those Chinese trucks driving on a four lane paved road from China to the Levant. Think about all the worry of China using it for an invasion route.
A couple of loons posting non-sense... Predictable...
Yep, that's me.
I worry about my drama, you worry about commas.
We each have our priorities.
p.s. Investigate Evergreen for answers. And then add what you see, and above all....think for yourself, comma boy
I see you ignored that this article was about trivia on a ChiCom social media platform not about the ship blocking the canal.
The ChiComs will block the Suez and Panama Canals the hour that the invasion of Taiwan begins.
This will mean that U.S. Atlantic fleet and NATO warships will require almost two more weeks to get to The Battle of Taiwan.
By then, it will be over.

If the U.S. military was smart, instead of woke, they’d station hunter-killer submarines in the Taiwan Strait. Instead they send Hunter Biden.
Have begun to suspect the same
No different than when the Canal was closed in the 1956-1957 or 5 June 1967 to 10 June 1975, in those wars between Israel and Egypt.
XiDen’s probably in on their plan 🤔
And ducks in a row!
This was a deliberate event.
Was it the pre-log jammed tracking image, that Evergreen ‘drew’, that clued you in?
// As for Taiwan, an invasion...even without outside intervention...is more than China’s limited power projection capability and expertise is able to pull off without unacceptable losses.\\
Yeah, and those crosseyed slanteyed yellow monkeys the Japs could and would NEVER attack Pearl Harbour.
Update your paradigm, old timer.
WTF are you jabbering about?
Do you know what a Nimitz CVN is compared to the Evergreen Suez plug?
WTF, Dude?
Apples are not oranges are not hand grenades.
Good God man, check yourself! You are exactly explaining why aircraft pose no threat to modern battleships on the open ocean.
And believe me, I wish you were right, and I were wrong.
Have no idea what you’re talking about.
But I do know two things:
Our former President would have the SeeBees and others there solving this
I saw a short clip of two guys, on a small boat next to the ship, arguing. If you or anyone on FR is familiar with Muslims like I am, I can guarantee that those two aren’t going to solve the problem. They’re grandkids will be arguing about this for decades.
Very sad to say, it looks that way.
ChiCom Hitler wins, because the Communists castrated the West.
Current Carriers are too wide for the Panama Canal, they can fit in the Suez Canal.
Valid projections. We can’t tell if they will come true, but they seem reasonable. China is now the “Invisible Dragon in the China Shop” = Just waiting until it wants to move, until it wants to disrupt everything.
And Biden-Harris will do NOTHING to dissuade it!
