oh wow, never realized the whole thing wasn't navigatable. One of the ship tracking sites shows the depths and yep, a third of the ship is on a sand bar.

I'm just glad I'll never gently caress up anything as badly as that captain hosed up.

OK I am kinda jealous of how much damage he accomplished.

If pirates stormed and stole the ship, they would be given medals and called heroes.

so what is the likelihood that someone did this on purpose? seems kinda weird that they would just draw a dick in the water before going in and wedging themselves like that. sorta like the lady wearing a 'lol' shirt smearing vx on un's brother's face

I am looking at well over 100 boats on the water, right this moment, and none of them are wedged in place

why does big boat have to be such an rear end in a top hat?

Let's position the moon directly above the ship so we can use its gravity to assist. As a bonus, that will pull more water into the canal to aid in refloating.

look, simply detonate a small nuke underwater in the gulf of suez, thereby triggering a mini tsunami which will flood the canal, thereby freeing the boat

If we start digging through the ocean floor northeast of New Zealand we should be able to tunnel all the way through to the canal and the ship will drain into the pacific ocean.

Alternatively maybe the pacific drains into the suez canal and then you don't have to worry about having a canal at all anymore?

I don't know how these things work.
