Suez Canal blocked by grounded container ship since at least 0600 UTC today - Traffic in both directions stopped; Millions of yuros' Amazon delivery dates updated

Chang's youngest son took over as chairman for Evergreen in 2020.

Apparently, there was discord in the Chang family, which caused the youngest son to lose his position with Evergreen PRIOR to becoming the chairman. He started up STARLUX airlines in-between his two Evergreen positions.

I wonder if the Chang family has a position (or several) on Taiwan independence ...

Edit: Oh look at this.

So daddy Chang, according to the China Post (take that for what you will), didn't want Taiwan independence. His favorite son, according to a "will" that was "found" by said son, is now chairman. I wonder if he has the same purported opinion as daddy Chang. I wonder how much money he has because of Chinese officials.

Well ramming it certainly one way... to sink it and make the blockage last a lot longer. Pretty much the only way this is coming out is lighten the load, try to reduce the amount that is in contact with the ground and try to rotate from there.

Once a ship that size is grounded you're doing the equivalent of trying to push a skyscraper without damaging it.

So how can the panama canal get in on this action?

We need a double fisting in this doom scenario

 

[Penis Drager]

Hopefully all those moving tracks still approaching the canal, mean that the industry knows something we don't, and think that the Canal will be cleared soon

Gee, that sure aged well.

 

[bifftango]

I really don't see what the issues is. One Castle Bravo-sized nuclear fusion device plopped right under Evergreen will have that canal cleared tout suite.

It'll be better if the ship just goes ahead and collapses. Then we'll know that the canal is blocked for the rest of the year and everything can just readjust to the new situation.

That said I hope some ships run into each other in the Red Sea and explode.

So how can the panama canal get in on this action?

HMS Victorious USS Robin managed to damaged the Canal and herself squeezing through it during WWII.

We need a double fisting in this doom scenario

Since the Canal been Chicom owned since Peanut Farmer, Reagan, Bush I and Clinton fucking gave it away to Panama. And Panama sold it literally the second it was theirs so anything to block with the Canal will mess with China and Panama.

It will take them weeks to unload that cargo. Anyone who understands the real logistics knows this....

But...

Let me tell you...if this doesn't work and they have to get rid of the cargo say no more...

Simply go tell Somalia "Have at it".

They may not have the equipment (they don't), but I guarantee and sure as the sun fucking rises and fucking sets, that boat is empty in 24 hours. Not a minute more. A thousand boats will turn up and about as many people.

Crane or no crane.

Mark my fucking words.

Empty of cargo but still there with twenty thousand empty containers and probably on fire.
They just need to tow it outside the environment. Call the aussies.

We should have a Somalian Pirate Appreciation thread.

Guy heads out with 5 boats, they are outgunned and way out of their league. They've done countless charges at the boat. He has seen 2 boats explode with his friends burnt and diving into the water; he is wearing the brains of the guy next to him. He has a bit of shrapnel where his left ear used to be. They keep at the Prize hoping to find a weakness eventually - this is after half his guys are dead and the M-50 guns on the Prize are running so hot you could cook eggs off of them.

Does he run away? Nah he cool as a cucumber decides "There's still upside to this" and makes another charge.

Balls Frank. You gotta have balls. Big. Brass. Balls.

Big brass balls and a sixhead if your average Somali is anything to go by.

This is almost as terrible as the Oval Pawfice. Almost.

I'm surprised they haven't made the ship into a Cthulhu yet.

You're going to prove me wrong, aren't you?

Such objectification! I feel the need to prove that MALE ships get stuck too!
