Yesterday these two vessels crashed into each other in the Suez Canal, sending four containers into the sea.

The captain of the larger vessel, E.J. Smith, could not be reached for comment.

The history of the canal is fascinating and attempts to build it date back to the pharaohs. Maybe there is a special hieroglyph for it.

I read somewhere that not only did General Al-Sisi save Egypt from President Obola's scheme to turn it over to the Muslim Brotherhood, he also has DOUBLED the carrying capacity of the Suez Canal since taking charge. Good man.

Doing donuts and then powering up for ramming speed. Captain of black hull just might be under the influence of an intoxicating substance.

Look on the bright side.

Maybe the four containers overboard were the ones with the dirty bombs.

Guardian angels and all that.

I think one of them was Captain Lee from the Ohana.

He must have been distracted by Kat giving him a blow job.

It's nothing that money can't fix.

I'd love to hear a coherent, and knowledgeable, explanation of how this happened. All sorts of theories in the comments at youtube, but as is much in this new age, who the hell do you believe. Anymore, not even my Mother would I give credence without research. Fucked up it is.

Tossing out a hint here....did anyone notice the thrust wake of the tractor drives (can rotate 180 degrees to the side, sometimes 360 degrees) on the blue hulled vessel at the time of impact?

The black hulled vessel was initially moving ahead faster..so what happened? The blue hulled vessel sped up and drove in to the side of the other? (See the thruster wake)

Two "captains" or "pilots" acting teenagers on a drag strip?

Did anyone notice the beautiful beaches?

It's a camel race with ships, from the sound of it.
