A huge ship parks itself sideways in a canal and not a peep about “how?” No need to ask how. Big ass ship with massive momentum. The moment it got the nose pointing the wrong way it was a certainty it would happen as it did. The nose pokes into the sand on the right... slowing the nose appreciably... and the tail proceeds to take the momentum from the entire ship as it continues to move forward more than to the left... even forcing the nose out of the canal, which some of the pictures showed clearly enough... maybe pushed it 20 feet or so past the bank ? Not any different than bumping shoulders with someone on a sidewalk... your body turns toward them... your butt is turrned away... or hitting the curb with a tire... it pulls you toward the curb... only with the mass of a giant ship and 20,000 shipping containers. See this, now : "Meanwhile, the head of the Suez Canal Authority said strong winds were “not the only cause” for the Ever Given running aground on Tuesday, appearing to push back against conflicting assessments offered by others. Lt. Gen. Osama Rabei told a news conference Saturday that an investigation was ongoing but did not rule out human or technical error." It is a given that someone will need to be blamed... and it won't be the General's fault... The Japanese company's apology... typical for the Japanese... will be converted into $... because it can be.
