Boat blocking Florida highway sparks viral comparison to Suez Canal situation
A boat that fell onto a Florida interstate, briefly blocking traffic, is drawing a viral comparison to the Ever Given, the massive cargo ship that has been stuck in the Suez Canal and is blocking major shipping traffic.
The Orlando Sentinel first reported that Florida Highway Patrol worked late Thursday night to remove a boat that fell onto Interstate 10, briefly blocking traffic.
The boat was quickly removed and did not cause any injuries, but the moment sparked jokes online about a boat uprising as the story of the Ever Given has drawn international attention and turned into the meme of the moment.
The boats have organized and are striking https://t.co/fK59IjvQIQ
