b) sharpie
c) it will go away

If that doesn't work, nuke it.

(4,026 posts)Failing that, cut the end off the bow, stern, or a little of both the make the ship smaller
OR
Get digging crews in the make the canal wider
OR
Drop a whole lot of alka seltzer in the water so the fizzy bubbles jostle the ship loose

(49,445 posts)Support primary challengers to any Republican that says there's a stuck ship, support these positions with a flurry of tweets, hold a rally during a golf vacation, and have Bill Barr drop the charges against the captain. Then give him a Presidential Medal of Freedom, and that photo up to send out a fundraising request.

Amishman
(5,559 posts)Sounds good on the surface and like common sense. Someone will no analytical skills will love it and call all the experts stupid, praising their own common sense.
The rub is that fully loaded container ships have a very high center of gravity, and without fuel or ballast would roll immediately when floating again. Blocking the canal and turning a big problem into an international crisis. Now THAT sounds like Trump.
On a side note, they need to be really careful when removing the sand from under it, do it wrong and it could roll.

(1,755 posts)Even if there is a ship stuck it's not that bad.
Even if it is bad it's Obama's fault for having trade with China.
I would have built the biggest most beautiful canal the world has ever known. It would've been impossible for a ship to get stuck in such a wonderful canal.
