Alcohol sales have been sky high since the pandemic started. I think I see a correlation.

It's pretty simple the Ever Given is one of only 13 ships that size of 400m. It is the maximum length allowed in the canal, and I think it needs special permission to enter.

It sounds like this incident is with a different sized vessel and not nearly as serious. I bet if you looked at canal logs, these types of incidents aren't that uncommon.

It was just the massive size of the Ever Given which caused the cluster eff.

A lot of those ship's captains are former NASCAR drivers. Sometimes they can't help themselves and turn left.

Already saw this and yes, they're blaming Biden for it.

Strong and steady wind from one side against a large surface (long tall ship ~ basically a large sail)? Di2 "crash mode"? Adverse reaction to ivermectin? Our alien lizard overlords toying with us? Has global warming caused the Bermuda Triangle to shift to the Suez Canal?

Probably wouldn't have happened with rim brakes. Jes sayin'...

Weird. It's clearly Trumps' fault.

poorly written clickbait conflating several events.

The recent grounding lasted 15 minutes and did not disrupt schedules.

It's the third grounding this year, with the major one involving Ever Given being the major one that disrupted worldwide shipping.
