Corinth Canal closed by rock fall - again

[duncan99210]

Report here https://www.keeptalkinggreece.com/2018/11/08/corinth-canal-close-traffic-video/ that the canal has been closed to shipping as a result of another rockfall. No predictions on when it will reopen...

Quote Rocks detached from the walls of the Corinth Canal and forced the managing company and the Greek Coast Guard to temporarily close the water passage for ships and yachts on Thursday afternoon.

So far the reason for the rock-slide is not known. Unquote

Well complete neglect and lack of maintenance might have something to do with it. I think the most expensive canal crossing is going to get a lot more expensive.

I think I can pre-empt their inquiries with some confidence.
It wasn't the Russians this time, it was gravity!
