Okay this might be a retarded question, but how the fuck does this happen? Can't they just turn it back sideways? What is actually preventing it from moving?
It still is not clear exactly how the accident happened - GAC said the ship suffered a 'blackout', meaning it lost power and steering before becoming stuck; but a spokesman for the canal authority said a sandstorm had blocked the captain's view and blown the ship off course before it got jammed and lost power.
Options are therefore limited. Because the boat is wider than the canal itself, it has to come out the exact way it went in. Except that both ends are out of the water, meaning it has no steering.

Ah, cheers
Or, was this done on purpose to create a crisis?
That is certainly a possibility
