But I don't think you can bring a Nimitz-class carrier to full power in the middle of that canal without having some other issues. Perhaps the propwash would help free up the cargo ship or maybe it would tip it over. |

I think someone on FB got it figured out. Just need to find some good tow straps. Seriously though, pile drive some big beams into the ground and some kind of very large industrial winch could maybe be used. |

Yay, they've swung the stern 80 degrees.... and still stuck! |O I wonder how much it would take to fully empty the ballast, fuel etc. and roll it out of the way onto the bank! Cheap at twice the price. |
