That wouldn't help.

I mean, I guess it would stop the ship from blocking the canal.

But the rubble of the remains would then be blocking the canal. And now you definitely have to call in the salvaging and dredging experts.

I thank you for your continued support of the Benelux economies.

I guess one positive thing about this incident is that my workplace anxieties are immediately put into correct perspective.

I probably think about this the wrong way, but all work issues are mini ships stuck in mini Suez.

Qanon is now claiming that this ship is used by Hillary Clinton to traffic children

Followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory trying to find meaning behind the blocking of the Suez Canal by a cargo ship claim that the vessel is being used by Hillary Clinton for child sex trafficking.

Some supporters of the radical movement are suggesting the 400-meter-long Ever Given currently stuck in Egypt is being used to abuse children on behalf of the cabal of pedophiles that they believe runs the U.S.

Others claim the children held captive on the ship will be revealed to the world live on camera, justifying their beliefs.In order to jump to this wild conclusion, QAnon supporters point to the vessel's operator, a Taiwan-based shipping company called Evergreen Marine Corporation. Clinton was given the Secret Service codename "Evergreen" when her husband Bill Clinton was president.

The ship's call sign is H3RC—the same three letters as the initials of the 2016 presidential candidate.

On the Telegram encrypted messaging app, a QAnon account with more than 106,000 subscribers wrote: "Suez Canal blocked by huge container ship named Evergreen. Evergreen shipping is most likely a cover for human and sex trafficking. "HRC = Hillary Rodham Clinton. Evergreen = Hillary's Secret Service name. Evergreen Call Sign: H3RC."

Another influential QAnon advocate with more than 53,000 subscribers on the "free speech" social network Gab wrote: "Evergreen is HRC's Secret Service name. It has also been speculated that Evergreen shipping is a front for human trafficking.
"Theory: ship gets stuck, International aid offered, containers opened on live TV."

And don't forget folks, according to distorted QAnon logic the song "Evergreen" by Barbra Streisand is actually about Hillary...

So if the ship is named Ever Given why is Evergreen written on the side.
