Once upon a time, in the magical world of Earth there was a canal that was long and tight, and a ship that was large and girthy and it went in anyway because all the ships were doing it.

While it was in there, it got hit by a gust of wind which blew it off course—the sail area of a loaded container ship is enormous, and they take forever to respond to helm and rudder commands. Before anybody on the ship could do anything about it, bank cushion almost certainly took over, causing the ship to veer across to the other side of the canal just as bank suction was getting hold of the stern of the ship, and that’s how #Evergivenchan got stuck in the Suez Canal.

Fun facts! Y’all are lucky I worked too many hours this weekend to write a longer interlewd.

Also, literally Friday I read a NTSB report about a ship collision in the Houston Ship Canal that was caused in part by hydrodynamic forces making the striking ship largely uncontrollable at the moment of impact.*
