Ever Given Being Held Hostage!

[JHelms]

Have you still not recieved your stuff? Maybe it is on the Ever Given which is now being held hostage by Egypt until the owners pay them $1 Billion for blocking the Suez Canal. Maybe the owners have Boat U.S. extended coverage?

Not uncommon in that part of the world. We’ve had to bribe our way out of some places. Chad and Mali were the worst. Blew out of Cameroon without clearance because they were trying to impound our plane for ‘special fees’. The Nigerians were most gracious for letting us cut through. (I loved those days) The big wigs will get their cut and it will be on the way.

Have You searched the intraweb as it relates to complaints of 'folks waiting for their sh¡t' threads? There are a few here even..

It is like when You go to Hawai'i and the Lady says "they'll be there at 10:00 a.m..." then they show up at 12:30 explaining "Hawai'i Time" then they do a 'shocka' (Pineapple Train greeter wave)

Shouldn't insurance cover that?

I wonder what actually happened to cause it running aground? Surely there was a pilot on the bridge. I wonder if the pilot company assumes any liability?
