#suez incident

[wheres-ever-given-now]

March 23rd, 2024

3 years after her historic Suez incident, she's making her way past the Iberian Peninsula after sailing around the African continent, en route to Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, from Singapore.

#ever given #unfortunately she stopped using the Suez a couple months ago so there's no hope of a repeat incident anytime soon

[void-writing]

My parents are watching a documentary about the Evergiven in the Suez Canal and they’re making it sound so mysterious and dramatic, but all I can think of is that this was a meme on tungle.hell for like three months.

#screaming from the void #evergiven #personal shit #ok so it’s about ship accidents in general but it opened with the Suez Canal incident so

[tache-noire]

the Walt Disney Medical Center is the single funniest part of The Monument Mythos universe

#also the entire suez canal crab incident

It's the two year anniversary of the Suez Canal incident, and now it's time to remind everyone that I wrote a Suez Canal x nonbinary Ever Given fic here, and it is a piece of true artistry.

Some highlights:

On the third anniversary of the Suez Canal incident, no less.

No offence but isn't this an England blog and not a Palestine blog?

full offence but here's some homework for you! a list of things i want you to google:

the balfour declaration

the sinai and palestine campaign during WW1

what happened to the ottoman empire at the end of WW1

the league of nations' mandate for palestine

mandatory palestine, 1920-1948 (pay close attention to the flag because i think it'll appear quite familiar)

the peel commission

the woodhead commission

suez crisis (more to do with egypt but still relevant vis a vis israel)

so weird how britain pops up in every single one of those incidents!

also i shouldn't have to say this but there are some things in the world that are more important than keeping a tumblr blog 'on theme'.

Today's problematic ship is the Xin Hai Tong 23

The Xin Hai Tong 23 is a 189 m bulk carrier. On May 25, 2023, she ran aground while transiting the Suez Canal. At least four other vessels had to stop and wait. The Xin Hai Tong 23 was freed by tugs the same day. This is at least the fourth such incident starting from when the Ever Given blocked the canal for six days in March-April 2021. That blockage help up almost $10 billion in trade.

#boat stuck… four! #problematic ships #bulk carrier #suez canal #ever given

[zvaigzdelasas]

Following three attacks on vessels linked to Israel, a container ship operated by Israeli ocean carrier Zim has changed course and is taking the long way around Africa rather than transiting the Suez Canal and passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait off Yemen.[...]

The voyage from the Strait of Gibraltar to Port Klang via the Cape of Good Hope is 56% longer than via the Suez Canal.

The Ever Given’s Suez Canal Incident: A lighthearted, ridiculous accident. No risk of death or horrible traumas. Commentary on the unpleasantries of maritime trade, with a focus on the heroic efforts of a few tugboats and a lone excavator.

The Oceangate Submersible Incident: A ghoulish, morbidly funny disaster. A story of wealthy fools, paying a fortune to sit in a tin can powered by AA batteries. The victims are difficult to sympathize with, and the villain is not an uncaring force of nature, but free-thinking man, who should have prevented this mess. Truly a tragicomedy worthy of the Titanic.

#ever given #evergreen #oceangate #titanic #carl freaks out about the little things #I’ve been rewatching LoTR btw lol

[flareonfloof]

what society really needs right now is another good catastrophic implosion or suez canal incident

[dlzdrz]

I feel like the Titanic Submarine thing and the Suez Canal incident are on opposing sides of an axis but on the same one of a second axis on a graph, but I can't tell which world hypermediatic transport accident are on the other two quadrants

#titanic #titan submersible #suez canal #oceangate #somebody help me figure it out please

Beware of propaganda coming from multiple angles.

You Are Not Immune To Propaganda has become a meme, but remember that it's frighteningly true. Read the articles, not just the headlines. Then read between their lines. Carve out some time to do a little research for multiple sources.

Decolonize Palestine is a good source that's been going around lately. There is also a lot of easy-to-access information on Wikipedia regarding broad overviews of wars, their inciting incidents, their outcomes, their treaties, who benefitted from what, etc. If you can go the extra mile, please use it more as a springboard to access the primary sources listed in their "External Links" section. I've linked a lot of Wiki entries in the following paragraph to introduce topics.

Look into the history of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict to at least familiarize yourself with an overview of Palestine's internal and external struggles against Israel's colonialism. Know about the 1948 Palestine War, the 1956 Suez Crisis, the 1967 Six Day War, the 1987 First Intifada, the 1993 and 1995 Oslo Accords, the 2000 Second Intifada. Pay attention to the numbers of civilian casualties listed in each of those war articles, too. Take a minute to learn what Fatah is in comparison to Hamas, when the last time an election between the two was held (2006), and then which of them currently runs Gaza. Try to look both further back and further forward than that. Not everything is in this post. This is one of the world's longest continuing conflicts.

"I don't want to do homework and this is really complicated" ok well it is complicated but it is also required reading for you to participate in the class discussion, even if you just take 30 minutes on your lunch to skim a little more than a headline or Twitter post. You gotta inoculate yourself with knowledge of history. Like I said, the sources linked here are mostly Wikipedia for broad overviews - scroll to the bottom and find their primary sources. Look up these topics on your own and find more sources.

I'm saying ALL of this not only because it's important on its own, but also because as expected, every damn right-winger and conservative war hawk is using the most recent tragedy as a way to ramp up Islamophobia, while white nationalists are using it to ramp up antisemitism. It's the same type of game plan deployed again and again to take advantage of sorrow, fear, and outrage following intense violence. They want to channel it into hatred of an ethnic group instead. They want your support to pursue more violence against that ethnic group while cloaked in the name of retaliatory justice and peace.

Remember that your enemy is not Islam nor Judaism, nor innocent Palestinians trying to live, nor innocent Israelis trying to live - your enemy is and always has been the states which oppress the people trapped under their boots. Making sure you blur the separation is part of the game-plan.

#free palestine #israel #palestine #israel hamas war #antisemitism #islamophobia #i get it. i dont have time or money to take a 400 level course on middle eastern political history either. #but just do what you can tbh. get some breadth in the sources. #it's exhausting and it's emotionally draining but do your best #it's exhausting to see the numbers. it brings me shame as a jew. #i wish for muslims and jews to get along like the brethren we are #but theres been so much cruelty and bloodshed #i dont know the answer to overcome it #my naivety is speaking when i express my wish #and its a gross simplification because of all that cruel history #all i can do is all i can do #so ill post here and donate and learn and mourn and pray

What I love about the titanic sub, is it's like the polar opposite of the Suez boat stuck incident

Where that was a minor inconvenience that no one person was really responsible for but affected just about everyone on the planet equally, this is a great tragedy for a handful of stupid idiots who built the world's shittiest submarine and they are the only ones affected by it in the slightest

#it's refreshing but in the opposite way #usually when Elon has a meltdown he fires a company along the way or something #but here it is exactly 5 people #including the ceo #all of whom signed documents saying that they were aware the boat doesn't work #and that not a single port in the world would let them depart #what I'm certain happened is that the walls ruptured somehow and they died instantly so it's not as tragic as people fear #but the fact that the “best case scenario” is that they successfully surfaced and are waiting for the coastguard to spot them #is so fucked up #how do you die on the surface in a submarine #what the hell is wrong with your boat
