The Suez Canal is a critical international waterway, with 22% of the world's shipping containers passing through it, rightly being called the "main artery" of international shipping.
But in such an important place, something both amusing and frustrating happened—the canal was blocked by a sideways-grounded cargo ship.
Lu Yao pulled out his phone, searched, and saw plenty; this was recent hot news.
Many crew members, frustrated at being stuck, took numerous photos at the scene and posted them on social media.
One could see a 400-meter-long behemoth turned sideways, its massive hull acting as a roadblock, sealing off the canal so tightly no one could hope to get through.
The scene was somewhat comical, and many netizens left mocking comments:
[How on earth did you manage to do that? Are you trying to become the canal's plug?]
[Rumor has it that the sailors were trying to mooch off the shore's WiFi, got too close, and that's what caused the accident]
