Why wouldn't it be more cost-effective or unreasonable to destroy the ship?

- stevula 6y agoThey would still be cleaning up the debris to unblock the canal, shipping would still be blocked.
- clarkmoody 6y agoProblems with destroying the ship: - A sunken super container ship in the canal, rather than a floating one. Removing the wreckage would be at least an order of magnitude more work than floating the thing away. - Thousands of containers floating / sunk in the canal. How much damage can one of those do to the propeller of a ship?
- JxLS-cpgbe0 6y agoThank you, I know it's a dumb question. Wondering about the cost/effectiveness of demolition of the ship vs the daily costs of having the canal blocked. I thought it might be like using explosives to dispose of whale carcasses.
- lmilcin 6y agoHave you ever tried to cut tires of the car that blocked your driveway? Did it help to clear the blockage faster or exactly the opposite?
- unionpivo 6y agobecause unlike videogames, object in real life don't despawn after you punch/shoot them. if you destroy the ship, it sinks. And since its blocking shallow canal, you just made problem 10x worse.
