Off subject but I have experience at this. In the early 80's I worked on a project near Suez City, Egypt. Use to commute from Heliopolis ( a suburb of Cairo near the airport). We use to go to the beach on a mine cleared beach just north of Ismailiyah. Best shrimp ever could be bought in Ismaili…
Off subject but I have experience at this. In the early 80's I worked on a project near Suez City, Egypt. Use to commute from Heliopolis ( a suburb of Cairo near the airport). We use to go to the beach on a mine cleared beach just north of Ismailiyah. Best shrimp ever could be bought in Ismailiyah. First a little history. Jimmy Carter wanted peace in the middle east. He brought together Sadat and Begin to the Camp David accords. Egypt needed the canal open. It was full of sunken vessels and silt. Also the banks were covered with broken tanks etc. Carter agreed that we would clean up the canal if Egypt would clean up the banks. Everybody agreed. Egypt cleaned up the banks by pushing all of the debris into the canal. This ship that is stuck in the canal. My bet is it is poor maintenance of the canal and the biggest ship with the deepest draft bottomed out on wind blown silt.
I did not expect 73 million to believe them!
