It is so costly to leave the canal blocked. How have they not just blown the ship up by now?

I would pay USD $10 bucks to watch it!

They should drill a giant tunnel through the middle of it and just let other boats go through that

Or make the ship super cold, so it gets a bunch of ice on the outside, and then that'll float out

Bada bing bada boom

Or put a bunch of container ships all in a row, and just turn the Suez canal into a giant conveyor belt

^ Don't be silly.

Have the captains wife die in a tragic accident, have the captain greive, and then tie a bunch of colorful balloons to the ship and float it out of the canal.

As someone who is deeply interested in container shipping, this has been a big week for me.

It is funny to hear everyone acting like this is totally catastrophic. It's not great, obviously, and that goes double for ships stuck waiting in/around the canal, but it's not the first time the Suez has been blocked. The whole thing was shut down from 1967-1975 due to conflict between Israel and Egypt and the world kept turning. To be sure, there's a much larger volume of trade these days, but going around the Cape of Good Hope isn't that horrible.

Hopefully this shines a brighter light on the staggering levels of corruption in the Egyptian-run Suez Canal Authority, which is primarily a way to get Suez "pilots" bribed with cartons of Marlboros.

Are you saying that we didn't start the fire?

Ship is free

Free ship (with purchase of another ship of equal or lesser value -- just pay an additional handling charge)!
