I feel like this was part of the plan, given the name of the boat and the call sign. It feels like Evergreen was suppose to get stuck and hold up all transportation flow for the next two weeks while operations are being carried out. I just can’t imagine they couldn’t get that boat unstuck in one day if they really wanted too.
Thoughts?
It's early And i haven't had coffee... Was that a joke? The Ever Given is a 20,388 TEU ship. That's 10,194 big trailers. It displaces almost 220,000 tons.
I'm not sure what equipment they're expecting people to bring to deal with this!
I like the people saying 'blow it up' that don't seem to have any concept of the scale involved. Reminds me of this:

And that was just a tiny whale. You could put more weight in a single container of the 10k+ onboard the ever given.
These are HUGE ships and are impressive to see in person. I can't imagine the work they would have to do to get it unstuck.
