I guess he didn’t get the memo from Egypt a couple of days ago: “ix-nay on the anchor-ay”:

“Egypt’s transport ministry said footage recorded by onshore video cameras of the location of the cables showed no maritime traffic in the area when the cables were damaged.

“The ministry’s maritime transport committee reviewed footage covering the period of 12 hours before and 12 hours after the cables were cut and no ships sailed the area,” a statement said.

“The area is also marked on maps as a no-go zone and it is therefore ruled out that the damage to the cables was caused by ships.”

It looks like Job One now is to confuse the issue of which cable any given person is talking about. Job Two is to get things fixed.

You're doing a good job of that. This article references not maritime traffic but an abandoned anchor.
