India, April 4 -- Many of us might have come across the image of, what looked like a still from an animated action movie, a ship blocking a canal, not a random one, but the Suez Canal - an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea through the Isthmus of Suez and dividing Africa and Asia. The blockage, however, might not sound much of a deal to you, but the six-day long traffic jam caused by it was disastrous enough that it resulted in a loss of not less than $13 billion.

The incident is big enough that even Google has a different take on it. When you search Suez Canal on the search engine, you will see a GIF of ships sailing through easily. Not sure whether this was updated after the blockage...
