Hahaha this is great. Ram it BIGLY!
Honestly they could just bomb the fuck out of it I like to think. Fuck the ship and the cargo, the cost in delays is far more expensive. I think Carnegie got his big break by insisting a derailed train be quickly destroyed as the goods in it and the salvage were worth far less than the downtime to the railroad.
Or...and hear me out...remove cargo containers until it's light enough to float off without any actual destruction?
Easier said than done. You'd need to get a massive crain out to the middle of the dessert. Have you looked at how incredibly huge the ones in our ports are?
You must not have watched any movies in the 80's. Chuck Norris with one Bell Huey would assassinate a gang of international ninja mercenaries AND have that thing cleared in an afternoon.
It'd take more explosive than that Bell Huey could haul, but maybe Chuck Norris could roundhouse that thing into dust given enough time.
Time waits for no man. Except Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris would just get into his ass kicking stance and the ship would back the hell up and get on course again.
And giving karate lessons to a group of underprivileged ne'er do wells.
By middle of the dessert you mean, desert.
Covfefe!
I'm in the middle of dessert right now! 🍰
mmmm .... chocolate
Months to transport
Oddly, I've never considered whether there are ship-based cranes that big. 🤔
Would something the size of a carrier even displace enough weight? 🤔
What the fk is really going on here... 🤔
(anyone deboonk yet the image going around of climate controlled, people - transport containers?)
I'm sure there are ships big enough to offload it, but it's wedged at a horrible angle and I'd imagine those kinds of ships have to get up tight to the other ship its offloading. In a tight canal I'm not sure its too possible. It will be a fun challenge that some brilliant people try to solve.
Helicopters
There are very few helicopters capable of moving a 40ft loaded container.
There's one in particular that's in the Army's inventory that I'm thinking of. Has splayed-out landing gear and looks design for a role very similar to this.
That crane is also going to cost a fucking shit pot to ship and a damn good chunk for an operator. I've booked shipments for cranes and the costs are Bigly. Not to mention since they are going to the desert the drive back is gonna be costly too.
On the news they said shippers are losing $200 million per hour. If that's true, it seems like any solution would be cheaper.
What about those helicopters that can lift a semi-truck? Don't we have a few of those?
How long does it take to rig a box? In an afternoon, couldn't a single chopper get a few hundred boxes off and land them on the bank?
I wonder if the cargo containers have to be balanced more for a Helicopter to be able to lift them safely and these might not be loaded correctly for that. If they have too much in the front or aft of the container that could cause some issues for the helicopter I'm guessing.
I hadn't thought of that. Very good point.
Not sure why you got the downvotes.
It's one of the largest container ships, if not the largest, in the world. Even if you had multiple helicopters working around the clock, it would probably take days if not weeks just to clear the deck. Even then, the ship would probably still be too heavy to move.
Do you want to be our next President? Do you think the plants need Brawndo or plain water, aka toilet water??
That’s way to smart man! That’s like letting some of the air out of tires when stuck under a bridge!
I have wondered if they could run directional drilling under it and pump air to try to bubble underneath it and reduce suction like when you put air under ships to reduce freezing in.
That’s not a bad idea either👍
Tons and tons of bacon grease, and a solid push.
That's how we got my friend's lard-ass mother-in-law through the door.
Probably just wait till the non natives are there and the high tide in a week or so and after you releive some pressure on the bow you just pull it out and hope it's not leaking more than you can pump.
wow i'm sure no one thought of that you moron
Nuke it.
Nuke under it. It’ll make a deep hole. No debris!
Bombs make craters and there are a bunch of ships that dredge throughout the Suez that you could use to dig up or reposition the metal, now in manageable pieces, and debris.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1fI4rUGsd3Y You might need to add another zero to the amount of explosive, but that'd be cheap and do the job.
It's too bad we don't have Trump in office. I'm sure we have some MOABs nearing their end of service life. The locals would be screaming Allah Akbar and watching some badass explosions that would get all sorts of people pumped and fired up, hopefully for good.
That shit wouldn't have happened with project plowshare.
What about 9/11 then?
shallow canal with wreckage that could then sink other boats. This also assumes TPTB want to actually solve the problem.
Someone is guaranteed to make a profit on the losses. WSB probably gaming it as we speak. Whatever is in the cargo of the 200 other ships currently parked would be a good place to start.
Yeah. Blow it up, then sell any salvage to help make up for the loss.
Ya actually I’m surprised that something like this hasn’t happened already it is a SERIOUS detour for billions in cargo.
We’re talking adding 30+ days to the trip and that’s no small drop of fuel.
Me too. Who knows why this ship went astray. Maybe some navigational computer issues during the dust storm, but human error is likely what will be ruled at fault.
The dust storm and winds came hours after it got stuck.
It traced a penis in the water before it rammed itself into the bank
I believe it was just fucking around waiting for it's time in the canal. A lot of our great military aviatiors would do similar things as a show of skill and airmanship (until our military said it wasn't pc) so it really means nothing.
RAM IT BY A LOTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!
We’re going to ram it like no boat has ever been rammed before. It will be an incredible ramming.
We've got the biggest rams, folks, i tell you that... No problems there. We'll just ram it through, like Pelosi did with that horrible Obamacare. Just horrible. Ram it outta the way so we can find out what's in it... Cars, or maybe junk, from that place called CHYna...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Farm sim style
Some body call a plumber.
We have the best boats. The biggest boats.
Ahead of schedule and under budget
Google and apple will ban his new app for vague “incitement”
Dont need an app. Just need a site.
Ooh lawsuits! Is that like, a really strongly worded letter?
No silly.its like a strongly worded letter with expensive postage
On expensive paper.
Only the best for our money
Amazon Web Services will knock it out before its up.
Trump Web Services will hold it steady from the beginning.
There is literally no reason for them to even consider using AWS. You know a website doesn't have to be on AWS to exist right?
Meanwhile some leftist blue check is saying "Kill all white people"
This made laugh out loud. Quality shitpost.
I miss him so much!
Have Rosie O'Donnell lean on it. It'll be dislodged in seconds.
Are you mad? Do you want to cause massive flooding?
Make Mesopotamia Great Again!
My sides! I was going to comment something like this
And if Rosie and Stacy Abrahms worked together on it?
The ship would launch into orbit faster than spaceX
GEOTUS would have just had Thor summon the bifrost and push it to shore himself.
You might find yourself asking "But what authority does GEOTUS have to give the Prince of Asgard orders?"
You might find the answer even more shocking!
I'd click that bait!
Just crash a commercial airline into it, I have it on good authority that jet fuel is very good for melting steel.
9/11 Saudis agree with this post
Damn! ;)
Trump: "I can clear the Suez Canal right now."
Mainstream media: "clearing the suez canal is racist its white privilege the canal should remain closed orange man bad reeeeeee"
#WWTT
What would trump tweet?
NO BRAKES!
The God Emperor could push that bitch out of the way himself.
Might hurt the children inside the boxes.
This^. Evergreen. H3RC.
But then o'biden's crew couldn't get done what they wanted to accomplish by shutting down the canal
gas prices rise
yes
and probably more
i just don't know of what the more consists
It's the amount of containers on the ship -- there are so many containers not being offloaded, thanks to the delays starting from last spring and China holding on to the one's they've got (and they control most of the global supply), that it's causing all kinds of logistic backlogs. This just adds to it, plus stops up one of the major global shipping chokepoints.
This will affect...everything...everywhere.
Be prepared for a cruel summer.
Buy local
Grow local
Manufacture local
Build local
Fuck China and all the politicians they have purchased
Well, that's good advice and all, but...
This will be a global problem -- we're talking grain shipments; we're talking countries' economies (C./S. America produces a lot of fruits and veggies, big part of their economy, lots of jobs...what happens when they can't get their stuff out of the country? where do those jobs go? where do the people go?...see what I mean?).
We're talking manufacturing -- where do we get a lot of our shit from AND...have we got a backup stateside manufacturing base for those products (like medicine, tools, parts) to get to it right away?
And then, how much of our shit are the Dems going to go ahead and sell out from under our people...do you really think they're going to give a shit if places in the U.S. go without?
And if our docks, rail lines, trucking sits idle because there's nothing to ship...what happens to their jobs? OH, and the people who work in the service economy (which makes up a lot of people now). No work...no pay, huh?
I know it is a HUGE problem but one we can overcome if we focus on local -- I stopped buying crap from China a year ago -- it wasn't easy but I did it
Let's keep our stuff in our country -- let's keep our grain and our fruits and vegetables -- we all could eat more of these -- and I know we produce too much food to just send it to groceries and markets for sale so we will need to preserve the food -- I believe if we put our heads together locally we can solve that problem -- in my rinky dink 80 sq ft 2nd home kitchen, I preserve enough food from our garden to take us through to the last fall harvest to our first spring harvest (and I live in the NE) -- AND - Preserving our food for our people will create jobs
As for as the stuff we import: A few simple words -- REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE
clothes: I think we can use what we have in the USA now -- have you ever seen the mountains of clothes held in salvation armies and goodwills -- perhaps we won't have all the fancy cheap shit from China but we won't run around naked and die
technology: we will have to hold back our desire for the latest and greatest until we get some plants up and running AND the tech guys who fix my tech tools will be happy that I am not replacing them and they get to fix them
construction materials: this is a big one -- we should start making items in the USA -- naturally there will be a lag time but I believe we can get it done -- and we can't get it done in the USA we have Canada and Mexico
If we use this as an opportunity to set up local businesses to meet local demand I will take it as a win! If we act independently of this corrupt government -- they can't stop us all.
Our trucks and rails will be busy moving USA made products all around the USA.
Our service industry people will still have work -- be it in the service industry or in making stuff.
Finally -- and so sorry this is long -- Fuck China and the politicians they have purchased.
Perhaps this is a pipe dream and fairy land but...
...I refuse to cower in fear.
...I refuse to not imagine a future where we are free and independent from the vulture of global greed.
I never advise anyone to cower in fear, and I do appreciate you spunk and ideas.
But...the crunch is already happening; the time it would take to re-tool things and get them up and running is probably going to take too long.
And...we have a political party that has done its outright best to foment tension, distrust, and disunity on the people (multiple fractures). When the crunch really hits (and it will imho), the powder keg will likely blow.
Hope should be the last to die...but it's a good idea to prepare for reality -- we're in for a helluva ride.
I don't think the comment section understands just how STUCK this beast of a ship is. Theyre already working on displacing 700000 cubic feet of sand to unwedge this guy.
It's a boat. Remove weight from the top of it... like all of the containers that are designed to be moved easily.
They're planning on that if they cant dig it out. They're going to need specialized cranes to offload it so it's a last resort.
Normally a week-long effort, and that's at facilities meant to receive these things. They're big boats.
They're hoping to have a solution that is faster than week-long... And are willing to take any number of months to find it!
Hey it worked in star wars.
Dumb fucks over there probably trying to move it twine and some bicycles, sorry to all our based ppl in the area but you do some dumb shit...like let a ship block happen for a week.
They should look inside the containers, and if there's worthless bullshit, yeah, fucking ram that bitch.
No problem. According to globalists, global warming is melting all the polar caps, causing worldwide flooding. So with all that extra water, that ship will be unstuck in two shakes of a lamb's tail. /s
We joke but he would probably be able to come up with a creative solution to the problem. That's the difference between having an entrepreneurial businessman as president versus a career politician as (fake) president.
Declare it salvageable for the nearest Somali pirate gangs.
It'll be emptied over night.
Let the air out of the tires! (Oh, wait...)
Kek!
Honestly, all you have to do it MOAB that boat and the water will do the rest.
How about a nuke?
Make it a reef, whats the problem
That's what tugboats are for. Just toss on a few monster outboard motors on a few and get a running start at it. Problem solved.
Is 45 back on Twitter?
This is a shitpost, Twitter is never letting the bad orange man on their platform again.
We’ll build a bigger and better Canal and the gulf countries are going to pay for it
Canals are just reverse walls.
Anyone know what kind of sensor tech is on those ships or in the canal? Sonar, laser, or a guy with a stick yelling Mark Twain?
Maybe avoiding this problem is easier than fixing it. Seems to me you could get a clear picture with affordable tech.
Really you stupid shit heads, just get that big hellicopter that moves those containers!! Idiots take the weight off and get it done, it would have been done in a couple of hours!! Oh that's right the stupid Biden shit is in charge!!
That would take a long time as well and be a bit dangerous.
I guess you don't know about these things, those hellicopter move those containers all the time!!
Xiden is indeed stupid, but has literally nothing to do with this sideways ship.
It's amazing to me that the elites actively ignore the common sense approach and ACTIVELY do things that will hurt us. They truly do hate us and believe the only thing in life is money and power and influence.
They are the face of evil.
Doesn't the US have like half a battle fleet in the general area?
Just shoot it to pieces and fish out what remains...
Maybe if things were made locally with local materials and local labor there would be less need for global shipping...
We need a Office Fire. Because an Office Fire can turn a Steel Structure into perfect truck sized pieces and absolute total Dust into it's own Footprint
This is the best solution. We need the people behind 9/11 to start the "Office Fire"
No more Cargo Ship, and no Debris.
Ramming speed!
Here's a solution.
We start a GoFundMe to ship some excavation equipment down there, because one Harris [aka: back hoe] isn't enough. Also some tug boats. The tug boats take the hoes to the shore next to the boat to help dig while trying lines to the ship and throttling reverse.
Or we send a scud missile to remove the clog because there's no way that boat is worth more than the price tag it's causing in economic damages.
The media would sit and bitch for an entire day, the following day someone would ram it and it would work. Then the media would spend an entire week screaming and declaring GEOTUS to be reckless and dangerous
Gonna need a BIGGER BOAT!
I hate these tweets. I always think hes back on twitter and that bums me out but then i go check and hes not there and im relieved and have completely missed whatever it is he was supposed to have tweeted.
I mean tugboats exist right?
Elon Musk should build rocket-powered tug boats for this.
LOL! Just what I told my wife. Two US battleships going in opposite directions would get that 'Docker' boat unstuck.
For an instant I thought this was real, then I remembered that the fucking communists deleted his account.
Everyone will laugh, and that's what they'll end up doing lol
I prefer his solution of bringing manufacturing back to America.
... we have beautiful big ramming boats. Everyone says so. It's true.
LMAO! Well played.
my first thought when i heard the news was: just blow it up
but i kept it to myself lmao
Dig a detour around it?
Better yet, what happens when a Rod of God hits a massive container ship? Does it rain loot for days?
.... asking for a friend ....
Have two boats hit it on opposite sites. One going North and one south. Have them calculate how they can hit the ship at the same time. Get to work scientists, you're actually needed for once.
that's the beauty of a hammer.
I do enjoy hearing folks suggesting blasting it oh, perhaps with a nuke. Think dead whale on the beach. But instead of blubber coming down it would be raining 20 ton shipping containers!
If I had to solve the problem I'd have them digging a new section of canal around that sucker right now!
Just watch - China will go in there and sort it out, and will laud itself as a fucking hero to the world while the USA holds its dick. And I wouldn’t have said this two years ago when we had a President.
I would attempt pulling it loose from the stern side using strand jacks. Would need a very solid fixed point of attachment. But it would create a hell of a lot more pulling force than some tugs.
