It's amazing that the Canal Company hasn't foreseen this could happen

I remember seeing an aerial shot of ship in the Panama canal stuck in the bank. I think it tried reverse thrust and pulled the prop out. That was 40 years ago or more. And the width of the canal was wider, and ships smaller then.

Apparently there was a sand storm at the time the Ever Given ran aground. And the ship is like a huge sail. So visibility poor and steering dodgy. Big wide, heavy ship, narrow navigable channel. Who'da thought it would happen one day?

It is not just SARS COVID-2 that is reminding us how the world is so inextricably interconnected.
