March The Suez Canal, one of the most important shipping lanes in the world, is reportedly blocked because someone accidentally got stuck with their giant container ship. The photo is unreal. It is owned by the Japanese company Shoei Kisen Kaisha, which has apologized profusely for the rather expensive inconvenience.
