Seriously though! With this much money at stake they should have a small army of excavators, bulldozers, tugboats, and lord knows what else hauling this thing out of there.
But all I see digging the damn thing out is ONE LITTLE EXCAVATOR? That's all I've seen pictures of. Where's all the rest of the equipment? Am I missing something???
Shit, there's more than that at the local construction site on my way to work! And I guarantee you my local construction site has a lot less money at stake than the jammed up Suez canal does.
They're slow-walking this on purpose! CHANGE MY MIND!
Its desert, no roads there, they are not needed as the canal is there. This not an easy task at all and could take a month to free it.
Personally I think camel power should do it, eventually.
