That’s a shame, it was the right spot, right in the canal, perhaps the full link got truncated.

370 ships stuck, $700k fee per ship, $259,000,000. Wowzo.

The ship had an Egyptian pilot (standard procedure I think), was going perhaps too fast for conditions which is why it was so badly stuck, give or take the amount of energy it would take to stop a 200,000 ton moving cargo ship.
