A ship the length of four football pitches is wedged across one of the world's busiest trade routes.

Remember that guy who sank the cruise liner cos he went close to the island to wave to his mate or something?
Or that Spanish(?) guy who stacked a train cos he took the corner at like 500kph trying to show off?
Gonna haunt you forever that kind of thing.
