SmartyPants:
How many ships do you know of that have been sunk by torpedoes in the last 50 years?

constructive research should come before criticism.

Because no torpedo has been fired on any ship.

No ship can stand torpedoes, not even aircraft carriers, Nimitz Class.

All they do is launch counters.

Size comparison.

The ship is also longer than The Shard (310m) building in London, the Eiffel Tower (324m) in Paris and is comparable in length to the Empire State Building (443m) in New York.

The Suez Canal is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, connecting Europe with the Far East.


The Suez canal, which is around 120 miles long links the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean and is the shortest shipping route between the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean.

The Ever Given became stuck around 7.40am Tuesday, local time, and remains across the canal this morning.

Tracking data shows virtually every tugboat in Egypt has been diverted to help the rescue effort.


Ship tracking data reveals the extent of the vessels building up on either side of the stuck ship, with 100 of them thought to have been caught up so far and 50 more arriving per day.

Seen from above


Evergreen, a Taiwanese shipping company which owns the vessel, says a freak gust of wind blew the ship off course before it became struck after which it lost power and steering.


Egyptian officials overseeing the rescue operation discuss their options from on board a tugboat, as the stricken Ever Given is seen through the window.

Virtually every tugboat in Egypt has been sent to try and pull or push her off the wall of the canal, while workers are trying to dig out the canal walls and refloat her, bringing her steering back online.

Efforts have been underway for almost a day, but have so far proved fruitless. The task resumed on Wednesday morning, with no estimate as to how long it will take.



If tugboats and diggers aren't enough to free the vessel, then they only other option is to starting removing weight either by dumping fuel or unloading cargo, piece by piece.

The Ever Given was part of a 20-ship convoy heading north through the canal, from Suez Gulf into the Mediterranean, and since becoming stuck has caused a 100-ship tailback.


Every day the canal is blocked means over 10 per cent of world's oceangoing trade cannot move as it should, with 50 ships being added to the massive traffic jam building up around the canal.

The Ever Given is now aground with its bow lodged in the eastern wall of the canal.

Workers are attempting to dig the bow free while tugboats try to shove it back into the waterway but efforts have so-far proved unsuccessful.

* 200,000-ton, 1,312ft-long, 175ft-wide cargo ship called the Ever Given has become stuck in the Suez canal.

* The vessel has turned sideways, blocking one of the world's most vital shipping lanes and causing 100-ship tailback.

* Goods worth an estimated $29billion are currently stuck in the logjam, with another $9.5bn added each day.



Loaded with nearly 20,000 containers, one of the world's largest
containerr ships has blocked one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, threatening 'catastrophic' delays to global supply chains with workers now in a desperate race against time to free her.

The 1,312ft-long, 175ft-wide, 200,000-ton MV Ever Given drifted across the entire width of the Suez Canal in Egypt around 7.40am Tuesday and became wedged with her bow out of the water against the eastern wall and her stern wedged against the western one.

That road....Jesus.

Greek design company Studio just unvailed a “Nap Desk” that lets employees sleep at work without any shame or discomfort.

Not only the table design can make workday more bearable, but it also saves office space and gives personal hideout.

Not to mention it performs as a work table, too.

While one worker sleeps in the bed compartment underneath, another can slide away the workspace to work alongside their colleague without disturbing them, making it an excellent office table for teams who might need to work around the clock to finish important projects on a tight deadline.

Now, falling asleep at work can be done in style.

Mums in the house, pls i need soap and cream for a light skinned baby(2years) that will maintain her colours and not make it go dark.

This is the bizarre moment a female shopper whipped off her underwear to use as a make-shift face mask after being warned by staff she would not be served without one.

The unnamed woman was filmed at a Pick n Pay supermarket in South Africa after a security guard asked her to put on a face mask.

She claimed that she did not have one but, after threatening to remove her from the supermarket, the woman reached under her dress and whipped off her thong to use instead.

Images from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries reveal teams of horses being used to move entire houses to new location.

The house's journey has been in the planning stages for nearly eight years.

The route it took from its location in Franklin Street to its new home at 635 Fulton Street is seen above.
