I am paying too much attention to this boat. Any attention is too much, but I’m checking up daily on it.

There is a simple way to stay on top of the situation:

Not sure why they can't bring in an empty cargo ship and a crane to unload it. Get all that weight off of it might make it easier to get it to move.

First thing I noticed was the pile of dirt on the front side of the the front of it. That means it is hung up right there. They have excavated along the back side, but the backside isn’t the hung up part. You have to clean the front away. Unless your goal is to hook on and yank it backwards. I think they have been doing the wrong things to free it.

There isn't an excavator in the world big enough to dig effectively under that thing while sitting safely on the bank.

They would be better trying to use high volume water pumps to jet material from underneath, IMO.

Then get one that can enter the water.

The mercenaries that the US govt hired to clean them out. Although the dude I know that led one of the biggest mercenary groups was killed so I haven’t heard the details much lately.

I hereby place the odds at 50/50 that the second boat becomes stuck and they have to get a 3rd boat to unload the 2nd boat.

Have they tried slamming it back and forth between reverse and drive?

You would think the Canal Authority or Egypt would just have a couple of vacuum dredges sitting around in the canal doing maintenance and upkeep. I find it odd that the best piece of equipment they had was was an excavator. Good drama, I guess.

is this the ricky bobby knife scene?

I certainly am, just dislike people like yourself that say no to something, and then act like an idiot when presented with articles against what you are claiming....Why don’t you bring something to the table other than a whole pile of nothing?

But the real reason is so obvious! If you have to ask, you're in the dark! Shake up weeple!

I think they're like 37th in line to enter the canal

I think South Africa is behind this. Making bank while they stop at cape town to refuel going around Africa.
