Biggest container ship I've ever seen

[Mark in Ottawa]

According to the news this morning, they have removed a lot of the sand around the ship using a suction dredge and at high tide (who knew that a canal has tides?) they got it partially floated. I assume that they will keep sucking up the sand as quickly as possible and wait for the next tide.

There are now over 300 ships waiting to pass through the canal.

"...when they invade us..." They hold 1/3 of the U.S. National Debt now. No need invade.
That barge(1,312 ft 2 in long. 200,000 tons. Bigger than USS Nimitz.) has been involved in several incidents before. Operated by a Taiwanese company and registered in Panama, but nobody mentions who owns it.

The Suez Canal is only 205 meters wide. It has no locks

[Major Tom]

What next? Plug up the Panama Canal? I think it was sabotage; definitely not wind!
The Suez has been operating for decades with not major problems.
