i wonder if some number cruncher is putting together a power point to just bomb this into pieces or something

that plan has existed for quite some time!

quote:

a sea-level canal was the ultimate megaproject. Teller’s team considered a couple of dozen routes through Panama, Colombia, and Nicaragua. They would blast all the way down to sea level with "250 devices in 27 separate detonations of from one to eleven megatons," according to one scenario. At the low end of that range, each detonation would be more than 60 times the size of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. And they’d do it, they figured, for (in today’s dollars) less than it took to build the new San Francisco Bay Bridge

I would just take some of the cargo off to make the ship lighter. If all the crews of those ships (millennials?) came to help instead of sitting around and waiting they could be done in like an afternoon.
