What happened in the Suez Canal on Thursday March 25th and how did it affect the rest of the world?
(On your own words please)

On March 25th, the Suez Canal was blocked. This occurred due to a ship, the Ever Given, being stuck inside the canal. Strong winds caused the ship to lose control and steer into the side of the canal. While this may seem like a normal occurrence, what isn't is remaining stuck. While the ship was stuck for 6 days it caused a detrimental amount of damage. Reports state that this one incident could cost the world from 6 to 10 billion dollars worth of trade, just lost. Egypt wants to be compensated, and honestly, it turned into a huge mess.
