Huge cargo ship has turned sideways and run aground, blocking all other ships on the Suez Canal, will cause economic impact if not resolved soon

Watch the price of gasoline/diesel spike as Big Oil exploits this for all they can.

I wonder if they considered using water cannons to erode the canal walls where the ship is stick

I've been wondering the same. I believe the name of the shipping line is Evergreen and the name of the boat is Ever Given

Yes The name of the shipping company is Evergreen the ship is called Ever Given. I guess they're using space on their boat for publicity.

Send this driver with his dump truck in and it will be out in a matter of seconds.

The real problem seems to be the front though.
How deep it's stuck, the weight making it virtually immovable, shallow water etc.
All that build up along the shores isn't just loose sediment either.
There seems to be some hard solid stuff there that breaks equipment easily.
They plan to give it a go today during the high tide.
Tug boats at both ends supposedly and some serious dredging.
Ramming the bow if they can without damaging it, may work as it may allow them to use something at least as heavy as the bow of the ship.
The hull is already flexed to the max though so ramming could easily break it.

Remember that Italian cruise ship?
"On 13 January 2012, the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia ran aground, capsized, and later sank in shallow waters after striking an underwater rock off Isola del Giglio, Tuscany, resulting in thirty-two deaths."

Is it true that the Captain was getting a BBBJ at the time the ship ran aground?

Evergreen is a company owned by the CIA. Maybe they closed the Suez on purpose, like in the original Suez canal crisis.
Ah, the conspiracy theory. So the Taiwanese shipping company is really the CIA ? 😂

I was told that by an American Senator who had worked for the CIA. He was a good friend of McCain and many Generals.
