They hope the high spring tide that comes with this full moon will allow the Ever Given to float up high enough that they can move it so it won’t block the Suez Canal. The upcoming Sunday and Monday are the critical days.
The accident occurred during high winds when the Ever Given had a steering failure which allowed the winds to push it where it wanted. Back in 2019, during high winds in Hamburg, the ship suffered a steering failure which caused it to strike and heavily damage a ferry boat. Fortunately, no one was killed. This ship sounds like a real hazard of the sea.
If the high spring tide does not work, there is a big drop off in possible solutions. Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed that there was a Jewish Space Laser, controlled by Israel, which had been setting the wildfires in California in the last few years. You know, it’s funny. When ever someone brings up the subject of a Jewish Space Laser, it’s always about explaining something bad that happened. Like setting forest fires. Never anything positive, like a family in Alaska was being chased by a polar bear, but the lost sight of it and for some reason the bear did not overtake them. It never occurs to them that maybe they were saved by the Jewish Space Laser. It never seems to occur the people like Marjorie Taylor Greene that this might be a possible explanation. No, it’s only presented as an explanation if something bad happens. Well, maybe Marjorie Taylor Greene could try approaching the Israeli embassy and ask if they can use their Jewish Space Laser to zap the Even Given out of existence to free up the canal. It’s about time she did something positive.
Actually, I don’t know what Marjorie Taylor Greene’s big beef with Israel is. I would think that she would be the last person to object to the right of any nation to bear a space laser.
