I can't find any information about how long it's been stuck. At least five hours, but how long had it been wedged before this tweet?

Assuming this is the original source of that picture like it says it is (guy on the ship behind them), 9 hours.

Apparently they lost power. Maybe asymmetrically since I wouldn't think they'd normally ever be pointing towards the walls?

a rich, friable soil containing a relatively equal mixture of sand and silt and a somewhat smaller proportion of clay.
Kinda seems like it would be really easy to shut down a canal with a spare container ship.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

What happened there? How do you get from having a crapton of momentum going aligned with the canal to turned at that sharp of an angle into the wall?

Also the toll to enter the canal. No idea what it is for Suez, but for the Panama Canal it's something in the region of a million dollars for a container ship.

When you have two ships approaching each other on parallel tracks they are each pushing water away from the bow. They’ll “push” each other apart initially. Then behind each vessel they will pull water. So as they get past each other the sterns will pull together. They push apart as the bows are near and then the sterns are pulled together. Push and pull. Normally they would be able to deal with this on the bridge it’s something they do all the time. But if one of the two vessels lost power either just before or while they were passing the other vessel going in the opposite direction they would get sort of twisted but would keep moving forward.

Think of a ship sort oflike a grocery cart with four wheels that can turn, like the ones at say an IKEA. This would twist it but it would keep moving basically in the same direction for a while.

Isn't most of the canal one-way? They go in conveys and pass in turnout lakes.
