Even as a giant container ship remained wedged sideways in Egypt’s Suez Canal for a fifth day this Saturday, another incident, although not comparable in magnitude, happened in Florida, US, where a boat obstructed a state highway. Netizens couldn’t help but compare both situations as it opened up a torrent of memes and jokes online.
Photos shared by Crestview Fire Department showed a pink boat briefly blocking traffic, which fell onto a Florida interstate, and ended up drawing comparisons to the EverGiven, the massive cargo ship that has been stuck in the Suez Canal since Tuesday. Images showed the ship obstructing almost the entire width of the main road much like the cargo ship stuck in Egypt.

“Expect delays at the Crestview MM56 Overpass going westbound. A considerably large boat is blocking westbound traffic,” the first responders wrote on Facebook sharing the pictures. The agency also informed that there were no injuries in the accident.
That's too funny.
