The Suez Blockage...

I can't get over that a blockage on the world's most valuable shipping lane costing billions a day is being sorted by a bloke in a digger.

It somehow sums up the last year.

It's not - professional salvors are in attendance, dredging and tugs etc. But such equipment make less amusing memes.

I transited through the suez onboard HMS Illustrious about 16th Sept 2001. Very interesting place and a sight to behold at sunrise.

Was the sunrise bouncing off your blue rosette or red one? :unsure:

Asking for a friend.
 
Can't they send some ships down each end, unload some of the containers until its light enough to float higher on the water and pull it out.
How do I claim my percentage of the salvage once they have seen this idea..

I think they are looking at unloading, but it may take a couple of weeks.

Loading/unloading these ships is like an art form. Would imagine a couple of cranes either side would take a while.
