No !

This has been a strategic concern for years.

But it took a shipping line to make it happen !

My guess, an un-qualified diversity hire that turned the helm the wrong way.

Strong winds and an enormous ship that carries 20,000 containers is a better guess

no evidence of terrorism so far - but for sure - terrorists have considered that option.

a large container ship acts like a large sail in high winds - and can become uncontrollable in such a narrow shipping lane.
It is still stuck - and is becoming a major economic headache for markets and shipping.



'w' - will you disagree - because the narrative says so. ?

Yeah, no terror orgs have claimed it yet, but there's something a little sus about it's navigation path before it entered the canal:

The ship is too big. No different than a 400 lb man getting wedged trying to walk thru a doorway.

Who knows what they’ll find if they unload the containers. Might be some nervous people at Evergreen.

The Humpty Dumpty song comes to mind.
But seriously, maybe Egypt should have limited the size of ships that can go through.
Last, the Sinai's winds are nasty enough to shred anything.
The issue at moment is the underwater bullnose of the ship is quite deep into the sand bank. Dangerously deep. And, reports are that there is some serious damage to that part of the ship.

Wtf do you think they are going to find on that ship?

Will they find that Trump calls martial law on January 20th and remains President?

Dis you storm the Capital on January 6th?

For those of you not familiar with bambino's conspiracy theories, below if what he is slyly referencing.

Unfortunately, it also seems to have lit up the Batshit Signal among the QAnon set. According to some veteran spelunkers, the believers have concluded that the container ship has multiple connections to Hillary Rodham Clinton, one of which is the fact that it has "EVERGREEN" painted on its side, and "Evergreen" is allegedly HRC’s Secret Service handle. (There’s also something-something about the ship’s call sign that has a big old neon sign reading "RABBIT HOLE" above it.) There’s a certain mutability about this craziness that sets it apart from similar insanities of the past. The McCarthy-McCarran period had defined limits. As soon as the foot soldiers took aim at the likes of Dwight Eisenhower’s alleged ties to the International Communist Menace, the limits were breached and the political power of the theory drained away. The really formidable conspiracy theories are the ones that are in constant motion in several different directions at once, the ones that can move from the expectation that the former president* actually would be inaugurated in March to the notion that a huge container ship has the mother of all fender-benders in order to offload @@@@@@@@ being trafficked at the behest of a former First Lady, United States senator, and Secretary of State, and not miss a beat while doing so.

This doesn’t make the whole thing less frightening, let alone less of a threat. Some day in the distant future, someone will figure out what it was about the Clintons that touches off the fireworks in the brains of so many people. It’s almost 30 years since Bill Clinton got elected. The Democratic Party moved on years ago. All that’s left of the Clinton administration are the paranoid fantasies of the new and insane Republican Party. That’s a helluva legacy.
