Suez Canal blocked by grounded megaship

You don't need 300 lads to repair a levee that's been nudged.  Damn union organizer feather bedder.

Maybe - I just found the visual scale of the problem v scale of the solution quite funny

[Berkut]

Your going to need a bigger bo....errrh excavator.

The crazy thing about these modern monster ships is how small the crews are.

The crazy thing about these modern monster ships is how small the crews are.

They give me anxiety, because of how high the containers are stacked. It always looks to me like containers should fall off any moment, or the whole thing capsizes with one big wave (in, say, 30 MPH winds ).

The ship certainly seems to have taken a somewhat rigid path en route to delivering its load:

Dicks on the water.

You mean things like this one?

I think they do in fact go overboard quite often.

They are locked in pretty tightly, but mechanical failure is guaranteed given the numbers involved.

Yeah...looking at that picture above, what struck me about it was that despite the stack having basically fallen over, it doesn't actually look like the containers have fallen off, which is pretty damn impressive actually.

They're talking days to weeks now, that's gonna hurt.

Have they considered bringing a second excavator?
