Evergreen container ship grounded at Suez Canal

 This is an accident that wind could cause, likely the wind could blow a world most powerful man three times down on staircases...

Can't underestimate the power of wind...

We can't under estimate the consequence could cause, the shipping fleet will lose USD$7B a days as hundred of vessels can't get passed the Suez Canal, they have to burn more fuel 20-30 tones a day to go through Cape Town with additional two weeks delays on all goods.

This is a kind of mocking at some of the small individuals that are still hoping to get a Daytona steel white at SRP at AD. I think you may wait for years, well some of us get it... guess they have bought so many slow moving watches such as  Date Just or dozen of Tudor before get one of his desired watch at SRP, eventually the money spent is more or less the same of even more. But he can show off saying that he is real SVIP on fb and or IG that he is one of the very few who can get Daytona at SRP... This is great happiness too for them.

Well, I have new interpretation on AD, its "After Death" for Daytona, not "Authorized Dealer". if my son may get one after I am gone... but by that time, the model has been discontinued! Sad!

Back to the huge Sampan that blocks across the canal, it may take 1 month to be clear.... Sad too

Aftermath it was clear for the Suez Canal with Evergreen vessel afloated today.
