About this video

The Suez Canal has been blocked by a giant container ship after a gust of wind blew it off course, causing it to run aground.

The MV Ever Given, a Panama-flagged container ship with an owner listed in Japan, "accidentally ran aground after a suspected gust of wind hit it," said the ship's operator.
