An investigation has begun into how a massive ship got stuck in Egypt’s Suez Canal.
The 220,000-metric-ton container ship Ever Given became grounded on the banks of the canal last week. On Monday, the Ever Given was successfully freed and repositioned by tugboats, and then sailed to Egypt's Great Bitter Lake at the canal's midpoint.
