WHEN YOU GOOGLE EVER GIVEN, YOU GET A FLOATING BOATIE ON YOUR SCREEN

THE FACT THAT I HAD TO SCREEN RECORD THIS, CUT THE VIDEO, CROP IT ONLINE, DOWNLOAD AND UPLOAD IT TO EZGIF AND THEN TURN IT INTO A GIF TO PROVE IT’S TRUE BECAUSE I’M NOT ON MY OWN LAPTOP BECAUSE SOME OF YOU WERE IN DISBELIEF THAT IT IS REAL

OH MY GOD ITS REAL

OOOO IT’S ON MOBILE TOO

So I know the Ever Given has wiggled out of the news cycle, but I learned something incredible on the radio today and verified it with a written source: there was one guy, Abdullah Abdul-Gawad, driving the excavator for up to 21 hours a day for five days.

He apparently disliked the memes, and per business insider, was driven by the memes and the jokes to prove he could dislodge it. 

“To him, it felt as if ‘everyone was just making fun of it,’ he said. ‘And that was what made me so determined,’ he continued. ‘I was like, you know, you’re making fun of me. So I’m absolutely going to prove that I can do this.’”

One dude moved the dirt for the Ever Given. Driven by spite and three hours of sleep a night, max. And while the lawsuits have started, he hasn’t been paid his overtime yet. 

Isn’t that wild?

u kno yes its sad the ever given is free bc funny meme over 😔 but fr shoutout to all the people who probably worked hard as hell day and night to get that boat unstuck. like the guy running the tiny ass excavator and the ppl working on the little boats that had to push the ever given back in position. I bet that was difficult as hell and i hope all of them get paid extra well and maybe even have a littol pizza party or something for their efforts

reblogging bc i just learned the guy who ran the tiny ass excavator for 21 hours a day to free the ever given is
Abdullah Abdul-Gawad, and he hasn’t gotten payed his overtime yet. We can at least give him the recognition he deserves.
