Then they aren’t going to be pulling that out, that’s for sure.
Perhaps they need to start unloading it to get at least some of the weight off hoping that it will gradually come up???
Assuming they could get boats close enough to lift transport product to them???
Or hitting from the bilge down through to the keel, running longitudinally along the centre of the bottom of the hull from stem to stern with massive air pressure to pop it up at least higher than it is presently sunk???
True dilemma!!!

I am sure new rules will go into effect after this to stop another recurrence. When lives or $ Billions are lost safety measures suddenly explode.
Sure too, like not letting Incompetent fools try to guide them selves through I know visibility situation to begin with.
Or perhaps they should have gone the extra mile and locks could /should have been built??? Are we really sure the altitude is the same? I mean who finally said that it was and how did they know that back at the time this was built?

I don't know, but it is a crisis. This looks like a job for - - - - - - - - - - - - Camel-A Harris Super Woman. Uncle Joe put her in charge of that little border thingy. She should have that cleared up in a day or two. Then I am sure Camel-A can board her broom and in no time at all she will instruct those engineers how to unstick this container boat and get those containers floating again.
Heck son, one big hefty blowwwwww and it’ll dislodge and float right around......
Give her a minute or two~~~She’s got enough hot air trapped in that big mouth of hers she should have it resolved any moment~~~

So fill your gas tanks up, because gas prices will go up, even if we don't get much oil from the middle easr anymore.

Gas prices have already gone up and continue to go up and up in spite of this mess. And it’s not like the United States doesn’t have enough gas to handle a temporary minor emergency, right! Or did biden put a hold on that too???

A long time ago Jimmy Carter declared that an open Suez Canal was a matter of national security. Do we still have an obligation?
Do you mean the Panama canal?

I was about to post a video from the Wizard of Oz with the Witch of the West leaving on her broom to the Emerald City. I love the Wizard of Oz. It is a good thing I played the whole thing and then erased it. They had added footage from the twin towers, which was in really bad taste. I missed it when I first viewed the video.

I blame President Biden and Vice President Harris. It happened while they were in office, so by the rules applied to the Trump Presidency, it is their fault.
Oil cannot get to Europe as easily now. I thought Europe was all green. So this is probably a good thing. They will not burn as much evil oil. Between that and the Corona Virus, Mother Earth is breathing a little better now.

Is Slo Joe going to draw back his executive order to shut down the Keystone pipeline now that the world's oil supply is in danger? He should immediately open up the pipeline and get the oil flow going immediately to circumvent a major oil shortage. He could bring back those 100,000 lost jobs and keep us energy independent. If he doesn't, I am holding him and his administration responsible for the Suez fiasco and his incompetence to open up our oil resources once again. Slo Joe has already ruined our economy, brought in thousands of disease ridden and unemployable 3rd world illegals, raised taxes, wants to disarm us, wants to tax the auto mileage we drive and is driving us into a 3rd world marxist country. If Slo Joe doesn't start doing something positive for the American people, his party should be listed as a terrorist organization and be put out of business.

I was quite surprised. I was doing my preview prior to posting and I said uh-oh, this is not good. Then I could not find another clip that had the Wicked Witch saying " To the Emerald City, fast as lightning aha ha ha " Now I found one.

Take everything off the ship and blow it up!

I would get a half dozen Chinook helicopters and start sling loading the containers off the ship and putting them onshore until there is enough buoyancy to lift the ship free of the muck.
