Egypt in 1967: planted mines, broke bridges and sank ships on north and south entrances to block both entry and exits of Suez Canal. Evergreen in 2021: Let's do some drifting with our ship.

"And with the 8-year wait over, all of the trapped ships could finally deliver their cargo of fresh eggs, milk and tomatoes..."

"What did your country achieve" "We won Bitter Lake Olympics in 1968 in Suez Canal"

That would suck if it happened again. By the way, it happened again.

And the Suez Canal never had any problems again!
-
"Sorry I'm late sir I wa-" "Our company literally doesn't exist anymore."

Imagine being the last ship to arrive in this traffic jam.

Evergreen: Blocked on the Suez Canal Yellow Fleet: First time?

Normal people’s nightmare: monsters/ some bad life event repeating etc. Lib right nightmare:

Anyone here after finding out about Ever Given getting stuck in the Canal today?
-
If this traffic jam was so great then why isn't there a part two? Wait wha—
