Re: Aaand, In Other News...
Geniuine question. Why can't they just unload the cargo and drag it free? Is the weight of the cargo insignificant to the total weight of the ship?
Re: Aaand, In Other News...
That's a mammoth task, and they don't have the usual specialist dock equipment to do it. By my rough estimate there are 4500 containers on that deck, which would individually need to be lifted by helicopter. Besides, so far as I can tell the problem is that the ship has buried the bulbous bow in the side of the canal, and while the weight isn't going to help, they're still going to need to dig the bow out.

Why is it I only see pictures of a single excavator working on it? Surely they could have flown every excavator in an x mile radius there and still worked out better-off in the long run?

It's too late to make Suez Canal jokes now. That ship has sailed.

Hopefully the right part of this thread appears. They're talking about how supersonic jets are needed for the future, one drawback is the ban on going supersonic over land.
Now pardon me but who wants to hear a motorbike/lawnmower so many times a day?

So, apparently they really will be erecting a giant new skyscraper in Manhattan and calling it... Penn15.

Idiots, they forgot the first rule of crime, get a job in the city and the greater amount you steal, the more likely you get on the honours list and get away scot free. Amateurs.

Shame, I would have put Count Binface well ahead of that petty little cock.
