First time the memes were faster than the news

The 3D work on this was sooo well done and helpful. Nice work!!

2 years had already passed? Felt like this was just last month.

I can’t help but be happy this is happening. I love when weaknesses are exposed, because it leads to solutions and a more robust and sometimes more balanced economy. We may not have had support for expansion of the canal or creation of alternatives without this. It also gives us an opportunity to look for local solutions and suppliers.

I really like how "dudes on the internet" do so much better at covering these incidents than the actual news does.

The ship actually was hijacked by the penguin from madagascar...they’re heading to Antarctica

Ngl this felt like 2 days ago 😭

Now according to what I've heard, the ship was not actually stuck because of a sandstorm but rather because of the bank cushion and suction effect. According to one report, although the winds were high that day, there was no actual sandstorm. The winds however, still affected the ship causing it to sway between the sides of the channel and in an attempt to reduce the drift from side to side the vessel increased her speed. This increase in speed also increased the effects of bank suction and cushion so when the vessel neared one side of the channel, bank cushion caused the bow of the vessel to be repelled to the other side of the channel while bank suction sucked the stern in the opposite direction.

i bet that this is a video that everyone will see in their recommended videos in about 8 years

Crazy how a hundred something hour of traffic jam affects the global economy. The ripple effect is mind blowing.

I actually sailed through there in the Navy. Those sand storms are no joke and we was on an aircraft carrier.

The graphics, animation and the narrator's accent makes me feel like it's a LEMMiNO video.

Its fascinating how a single ship caused this many affects to the whole world

A reminder that as much as we celebrate our cleverness, our powerful machines and our complex systems of trade, we are still at the mercy of the winds, the tides and geography.

This was 3 years ago feels like maybe 1

Never really realized how big that ship was. Now I get why it was stuck so long

It's genuinely frightening how easily our "well planned and well thought out" system can come to a complete halt for only a few days and that can disrupt the entire world and and have an impact for months... How can 12% of the world trade volume per day depend on 54 ships crossing the canal? Frighteningly fragile

Mom: "Why you didn't get all the grocery products that I have listed?" Me: "There is a traffic jam caused by an Empire State building sized ship".

no way this was 2 years ago

Me wondering why my package still hasn't been delivered:

The 3D renderings and animations really help put it all into perspective. I never would have compared it to the Titanic and never would have known it was bigger.

Real Life Lore, Real Engineeering ,Neo , wendover productions, Jonny Harris and half as interesting well seems the big boys are out today.

"Oh no! I'm stuck!" "W-what are you doing, step-excavator?"

This was two years ago?!?

The black and grey palette was confusing me multiple times on which is land and which is water 🤣

I wonder how long it will take the world to make a full blown documentary about it followed by 8 season netflix series.

This feels like those history documentaries and video essays you watch late at night, except the history is current events and we are living through this right now Can't wait for history classes in the future to be watching videos like this one lol

how the hell is this already 2 years ago

When you try to do Tokyo drift In Egypt :

Not gonna lie, this was a really in depth and graphically outstanding video over something that just now happened. 👏

Very good video. A couple of points - The re-routing of the shipping around the cape of Good Hope doesn't just increase the time and fuel required - both adding considerable expense - but it also means they will be travelling through seas that can have some of the worst weather and waves on the planet. Increasing the risk of damage or loss of cargo or, in the worst case, of the vessel itself, and it's crew! Some people have difficulty understandin how the crosswind could cause the ship to become difficult to control and even run aground as it did - ships are steered from the rear, where the propellor is, and it's like driving a car in reverse which is fine if the vehicle is going where it's steered and the non steering wheels aren't skidding. When the ship is struck by cross-winds the front of the ship is pushed away from the direction of travel and the rear has to move even further to counter steer into the wind's force - and if the wind is gusting it's quite easy to get the timing of the countersteering out and so make things worse, just like the over-correcting that can happen with a skid that makes things much worse. It may help to think of it like pulling a stick from the front compared to pushing it from the back, or better, holding it up from the top Vs balancing it on a finger.

I can’t believe how old this video is? It feels like this happened last week? How has so much time passed?

Pro tip... how about they dig that 2nd canal in the near future, it might be nice to have...

Ships with livestock on board were regularly visited by Egyptian veterinarians - providing necessary food and water for the animals throughout the ordeal. They were also given priority passing once the canal was cleared.

lmfao everytime i look at the maps i think the gray is land and the black is the ocean

It’s been 2 years???

This channel is such high quality, it will be huge soon

Hoping KZfaq would recommend this to my kids 10 years late 😀👍

Will come again in few years when this is recommended again

Theres no way its already been 2 years since this happened...

One Ship to block them all, One Ship to find them, One Ship to bring them all, And in the Suez bind them.

Finally, the animated version for all of us to understand the situation! Thank you! Thank you very much!

Very useful thank you. This hang-up with the blockage impacted my job and I appreciate the work.

2 years already????

All I think of is Patrick Star saying “why don’t we just take [the ship] and push it somewhere else??”

After the comparison with titanic i realize how big that ship is 🤯✨

Jesus it’s already been 2 years??

Excellent. Good work. Everything to explain the unbelievable and fortuitous event in which: "The ship was surprised by a sandstorm and rammed itself into the side wall of the canal."

its crazy how the whole world is brought to its knees over 1 boat.

I think it's really incredible you were able to create a video about something that is so current and yet still won't be outdated down the road. And the graphics! Spot on as always, you never disappoint!!

The ship: stucks Vietnam small boats: Hold my beer, I can go pass it

Chief...your videos (including your voice and smile) are like a great movie!!!! Thank you!

Wendover Productions: Airplanes Real Life Lore: Toyota Corolla PolyMatter: China Neo: Perfect graphics and explanations of current events

Damn Neo , i clicked for the Intro 😩😩.

KZfaq has been asking to learn about this ship for about a week. I finally decided to watch a video on it.

Graphics and overal video presentation was excellent and easy to understand. Thanks &' i look forward to more!

The long term are doing well while the short term trade requires precision in its execution but gosh, they do amazing when you're on the right side

Suez Canal: Ah shit shipping closed Cape Town: *Business is booming*

Thank you for explaining it in 3D... Makes it much easier to understand.. 🙏

Waiting for this to be the 2 famous ship in history.

I love your videos. So amazing you were able to cover this so quickly

Who could imagine something like a seemingly small incident like this could cause so much damage on a global scale.

"Oh No I'm Stuck, STEPBOAT Can You Help Me??"

Thanks for valuable and inclusive info provided. Keep up the good work, guys.

The animation (map overlay) is brilliant, along with a solid explanation! Out of curiosity, what is that kind of animation called?

I dunno why but I found this whole ordeal really interesting. I had no idea how much of the world relies on the Suez Canal. I'm also surprised they haven't added more lines to the canal so more traffic can go through.

First video that flat out stated "it was because of a storm". Thank you. Been wondering about that for weeks.

Can't believe this was two years ago

The graphics in this video are so good - nice work.

Kinda hilarious how unstable and unsustainable human networks are where a ship can block one canal and the whole world gets thrown off for a month

Excellent work on the 3D parts in video Makes learning & understanding easy Engaged right from the start to the end

This was recommended a year later and I saw it and was like "Oh yeah, that thing"

Maybe we should thank the Egyptian authorities🇪🇬🇪🇬 for solving the problem in 6 days when the whole world thought it would take 3 months

Reminds me of the time in 8th grade my school went camping in the mountains. I had to poop as we hiked to the cabin at the top and the entire class had to wait for me....i remember feeling it would never end..

Great work, explained it in the easiest way possible

I love the aesthetic of this channel. Beautiful 3D model recreation.

Literally a floating Empire State building. That's crazy.

Another fine production; by all means, keep up the good work! Thanks for the simple, easy to follow graphics. More, please.

I'm not convinced that this was an accident. How many ships pass through during high winds without incident?

Fun fact:The captain of the ship is one of the people who disliked the video!

The world bullied the ship as one, and I’m loving it.

Concise, clear, down to the facts and important details. Extremely well made, and ultimately informative.

3D work nicely done ! Now I understand what happened. Thank you !

Thank god the crab didn't wake up

If it only took 30 minutes for an emergency response, then the captain should of requested a 'bow boat' to help get through the sand storm.

Facts: I ordered a composting barrel and was given a delivery of within the week. then on delivery day i get a new crazy delayed delivery date compared to the timeline i was given for original delivery date. when the canal was unblocked and the news was covering the unjamming, moments later my package had a new expected delivery date. my wife also had $30k in computer parts for business with the same exact sequence of events.. lol

this is why I major in SCM. Pretty good explanation on how severe the effect of a hiccup in a transport route could do to the entire supply chain of multiple global markets. The company I worked in ordered a type of perishable good from spain around this time shipped in a total of 20 x 20 ft containers carried by this exact vessel, worth around $ 100,000. Because of this incident, an entire production line halted, resulting in multiple deals broke down with multiple local and regional food manufacturers that ordered one of our product that uses said cargo. Honestly, supply chain is basically when you zoom out whatever perspective you had

I'm glad I discovered your channel. Keep it up Son ❤

This is an example of how quickly problems can be solved when money is involved

The best video I've watched so far in explaining this issue.

The way u have explained this, nobody can explain. Very easy and great graphics

I bet latifi was driving that boat

This is the best and most concise explanation I have seen about what happened. Thanks! I am sure that this incidence will make digging out another lane a high priority.

I was waiting for the intro featuring the New Cairo timelapse but it never came :(

I love how they compare a gigantic thing with a tiny human😌

they should make another canal so they can do a two way passage and if ever something like this ever happens again, they have a secondary canal.. worth the money

Wow , this is such a really interesting documentary , we hope to see more of these

neo: "excavatorS" The excavator that singlehandedly unstuck the Evergiven: "am I a joke to you?"

They literally moved the Empire State Building from NYC to the Suez Canal and laid it on its side just for the video!

Thanks for this! I can barely understand it from the news
