MV Ever Given - why can't it be pulled out? Suez canal blocked

Mv Ever Given is blocking the Suez canal - why can't they just pull it out or dig it out? Why will this last a long time.

I will explain the problem in this video. I hope you like the video.
In the picture you see Evergreen stuck in the Suez canal.

My mother-in-law would find a way to make this my fault.

I think 1/3 of the weight resting on the sand is too high estimation. Even if the 1/3 of the ship is resting against the sand the hull has still normal amount of buoyancy. To get 1/3 of the weight against the sand the ship should be partly out of the water so that there would be 1/3 less buoyancy left to carry the weight of the ship. And since the ship seems to be still level I think that's not the case.

I saw two dudes dig an underground water park with a treehouse and a loopy loop water slide in the middle of the jungle on YouTube. Give em a call, they’ll have em out in an hour or so

If it was so easy to pull out we wouldn’t have so many child support cases.

I just can’t help but imagine the poor workers on the other ships calling home, “honey, honestly it’s a traffic accident.”

I am so thankful that I was not responsible for this incredible mess.

I can see Physics teachers putting this scenario in their tests 😂

Maybe everyone’s looking for a ship named MV “Ever-given” and that’s why they haven’t moved the “Evergreen” yet.

That feeling you get when your car dies blocking traffic, but on a much larger scale.

My mother in law is one cannonball away from dislodging this ship with sheer wave force .

I feel bad for the ppl stuck in the containers on the way to wayfair.

“I’ll pull dat sumbitch out wit my f-150 yo ! “
That’s Louisiana slang for “I should have stayed in high school”

The simplest engineering way to dig this vessel out of it current berth is to use Venturi Jet pumps. They are used extensively in South Africa’s Deep mining operations because they are so efficient. They can dig as deep as 200 feet down, and if the walls of the hole collapse on the pump it’s simply able to carry on without being clogged, in essence creating a funnel like hole, which is exactly what is required to move this amount of sand quickly from underneath the vessel. It would likely take less than 72 hours to re-float the vessel deploying the correctly engineered Venturi bug (the thing that goes into the sand and sucks up the sand to move thousands of tons an hour), and the super high pressure pump feeding the Venturi, all could be deployed by helicopter including the generators needed to run the pump, clearly water is not a problem so the engineering fix is relatively easy for engineers skilled in this technology.. But unfortunatly I would venture marine salvage teams have little to no experience using this technology and have yet to call on the South African experts who may well be the worlds leaders in this field by a large margin, with many years of experience move 10’s of millions tons of Sand and mud in some of the harshest and deepest working environments on the planet..

“The ships have become bigger but the technology to support them hasn’t caught up ‘“ and also the crew keeps shrinking to keep the cost down.

Finally, some intelligent analysis of the situation. Please do updates as events proceed.

Thank you 😃 this is this best explanation I have heard👍🏼

HONESTLY THE ONLY VIDEO THAT EXPLAINS THIS PROBLEM!!!
News stations SUCK!!

"Help me, stepship. I'm stuck."

[GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

PLOT TWIST: The ship is not stuck at all. This is just a gigantic month long Evergreen ad that everyone is forced to watch.

The Ever Given has a sister ship which is powered by an electric motor. It's called the Ever Ready.
