The giant cargo ship wedged across the Suez Canal is blocking shipments worth an estimated $9.5billion per day including food and oil which will have an 'enormous' impact on the world economy, experts have warned.
At least 150 ships are now stuck in the logjam caused by 200,000-ton cargo ship Ever Given which ran aground in the narrow channel on Tuesday, with goods worth $29billion already held up.

Geez...I thought these ships have GPS navigation.
Is this why I could’t find my cat’s favorite canned food at the local supermarket yesterday?
Ha boob.
Blow it up!
Sounds like we're being fed a load of manure.

My brother has a 115’ yacht with full GPS navigation. If nothing got in its way, you could fire it up in Juneau, Alaska and punch in Elliot bay in Seattle and it would get there with nobody on board.

The US is an oil Exporter, so this should help us financially, right? :)
I am sure it did.

Globalism is working as planned, just wait until the Dems force all domestic small arms manufacturers to shutdown “to save the Planet” ...
it’s like the Chattanooga shooting; it’s all part of the plan to distract from the secret Wisconsin wifi and dominion voting machine hackers.
I seen reports last night the situation was resolved and traffic was moving. (?)
Fake news.
nope. there has never been a sandstorm in the desert. ever.
Those stacks of containers make the ship like a giant sail.
Its going where the wind wants to push it and in those narrow waters there isn’t a lot the master or pilots can do about it.
The Captain of that ship has a ways to go before the engineers at NASA let him draw penis pics on Mars.
Cargo ship drew a penis and butt before getting stuck in Suez Canal
the max depth of the canal is 79 ft.
Funny thing is, this is the real news today.
Probably due to Climate Change.
