Suez Canal Reopens After Salvage Teams Clear Stuck Container Ship
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In Egypt, salvage teams cleared a massive container ship from the Suez
Canal Monday, after it ran aground on March 23 and halted traffic
through one of the world's busiest waterways for nearly a week. The ship
was the size of the Empire State Building on its side. The Suez Canal
Authority expects it will take days to clear a backlog of hundreds of
stranded ships.
