I think the point of that comment was to have the opposite reaction actually, like only 25 people on the ship, who pretty much didn't even contribute, and it still had drastic consequences.
To be fair, there are hundreds of boats still waiting to go through the canal. An official said that it's going to take weeks to get the traffic back to normal. In the meantime they are still diverting traffic.
What if your dog poops on the beach, you don't have a bag to pick it up and when you come back the tide is up, so you have to wait for celestial bodies to align in order to remove the feces from everyone's play area?
ngl going over 100 years and only having to be closed 3 times? that's a pretty damn good track record, i'm surprised something like this hadn't happened sooner :p
The Suez Canal was closed twice One of them was in 1956 because of the tripartite British-French-Israeli aggression against Egypt and the second in 1967 because of the Israeli aggression against Egypt in the Six-Day War, then it was reopened in 1975 and has not been closed since its reopening except because of Evergevin
When your ship was build in taiwan under a japanese company, registered in panama, having an english name, a german captain, and indian crew, carrying chinese goods from malaysia to the netherlands, and getting stuck in egypt Mr WorldWide
When this happened it honestly amazed me that ships are allowed to pass through channels that are more narrow than they are long. Seems like this should have been figured out a long time ago...
@@timothyavendt677 It's "only" 2 billion a year roughly, but again the Egyptian government doesn't worry about it because they're lazy or have other things to worry about
@@theprocrastinationnation4802 I mean their lands are desert they have other things to worry about Egypt has more desert so it has major weakness of agriculture
If you heard, while in the canal, two, essentially “canal captains” go aboard. They work for the canal and go aboard ships crossing it. They tell the ships crew basically what to do in terms of navigation. It’s usually their say over the normal captain while in the canal. Anyways, they were the ones on the ship that day. I doubt the ships regular captain was fired.
that man captain better pay for his mistake in full. Don't play soft ball with men. What an embarrassing captain. Men shouldn't be allowed to drive boats obviosly.
@@emilyganguly277 okay sexist, it wasnt the captains fault, as they said the weather situation was the reason they crashed, but unfortunately you have dementia
they lost total 10 billion suez canal probably earning lots of money but can't afford proper machinery to remove a ship clog have you see the crane that digging looks old and little and it's only one there response like they have no budget to operate that canal,
@@cutiebaliwFreedownload the fun thing is they charge a shit ton for the passage not including the cost of "corruption" like cigarettes and other wares
@Clotix However, the chairman of Egypt's Suez Canal Authority said Saturday, without giving details, that weather conditions "were not the main reasons" for the grounding, and that "there may have been technical or human reasons," the BBC reported. An investigation is ongoing.
Wait the evergiven only has a crew of 25 on a ship 400 meters long? That sounds like the perfect opportunity to play hide and seek on the ship to pass the time
Don't worry, they have no time to play, working minium 8 hours a day, every day for as long as their contract, maintain the ship, engine in their department, or preventing rust in the deck depatment. Sorry but time to play hide and seek is not a pass time on board.
My brain still isn't processing the size of the ship. Instead, I'm making the excavator smaller, like the one I rented for some ditch digging at my house.
No joke, about half a month before that happened I had to do a presentation in school how catastrophic it would be when the Suez channel would be blocked. I based some of my facts from another video of RealLifeLore called "The 8-Yeat Long Worst Traffic Jam in History"
I wonder if it could be considered a piece of history like could you go to the museum and be like "this very blanket that I ordered from Amazon was on the ship that caused the biggest traffic jam in the world" I just wanna see the look in the peoples faces like 💀
if their was not threat of zionists trying to take over seuz and past history of britisn france and israel letterly trying to invade and take sinai I think egyptians would have tried to make it bigger .. their reason why they not want it to be so big that it get out of control nationalsecurity
I would love to know what exactly was going through the captain's head when he finally realised what he was after doing. I can imagine he could have built a house with the amount of bricks he was shitting.... and probably have dug a whole new canal with the hole he had managed to dig himself!!
So the ship got stuck in the part of the canal without those adjacent channels, then gets blown over by a sandstorm only for tides to to free it days later. Seems to me like nature finally got bored in quarantine and decided to play a prank on the whole world.
I was going through the Suez Canal during this event on an aircraft carrier. We jumped straight to the front of the line, but yes, there were TONS of ships waiting just outside of the canal.
I live in Haifa, a port city not geographically far from Suez Canal. During this whole deal there was an unusually high number of vessels that could be seen at the port, and as far as I understand it some of them were probably ships heading towards the canal that just preferred to stay by our port and not depart until the traffic jam in Suez lifts. Definitely quite a memorable experience, never saw so many vessels in our port at the same time
The first ship after the Ever Given missed the opportunity to pull off the biggest troll in human history by getting stuck about 50 feet further down the canal
Lesson learnt; Ever Given has 10 siblings that could ram the bank the same way and block the waterway once again if similar error happens. Ever Golden, Ever Genius, Ever Gifted, Ever Glory, Ever Globe, Ever Goods, Ever Grade, Ever Gentle, Ever Govern, Ever Greet
I actually felt the traffic itself, My dad was going out to buy wires and them the salesmen told that they had shortage of wires because of the suez crisis
I can just imagine someone living in Europe is finally able to find a graphics card for a reasonable price, orders it annnnnd it just happens to be on the Evergiven.
Worse still,it's the ship that came at the very start of the incident,decided to go around Afirca and was just past the cape when the Evergiven was freed.
bruh this video was like an one of those essays i used to write in school, just adding unimportant bloatwords to fill the word quota. This video could have been 5 minutes long and give the same amount of information
In case anyone else was wondering too: Ever Given (IMO 9811000) is one of 13 container ships built to the Imabari 20000 design developed by Imabari Shipbuilding, 11 of which have been chartered by Evergreen Marine with names starting with Ever G-.
Everegiven captain: actually was doing his or her job right and was stuck because of a sandstorm Memers: Unfortunately for you history will not see it that way.
The only winner was that one driver who's boss sent him to help dig out the boat not knowing the full scale of the situation. He and his machinery is now famous.
@@LnsTchTps if I ever hear someone say "drive a ship" I will slaughter 7 children in rage. A captain sails a ship, a driver drives a car, and pilot flies a plane
This channel always has the wildest comparison. "It's roughly the same weight as the sears tower in chicago" ah thanks mate i can totally grasp that. can you convert that into cubic football fields per fortnight for me
