I don’t want to put ideas in anyone’s head, but a well planned terror attack could close the canal for months by sinking a couple of huge tankers.

Already been done .....

The reason why I got a job in the maritime business 45 years ago this month was because, despite being 8-10 years younger than all the others in the room, I was the only one that knew the answer to a question.

"Why would a ship be detained in the bitter lakes ?"

Engineers looking at possibility of unloading some of the cargo.
If I was local and watching the daily spectacle of tugs and chains and ropes getting nowhere fast I would be asking around as to what sort of cargoes might be in the upper level containers.

Sod them I would not trust David Miliband to open my gate let alone the canal.

I think we at CycleChat can do better, be better than this. If we can fix someones dodgy transmission issues remotely, then refloating a boat should be easy.
The call for ideas is out.

Dig a trench the same size and shape as the canal and lift the canal into it, allowing other ships to continue on their journey.

Does anyone remember that scene in Austin Powers where he tries a multiple-point turn in a narrow alley with the electric vehicle?😄

Communicate to Skippy the Bush Kangaroo to inform Flipper that a big container ship is jammed in a vital canal and request multiple cetaceans to assist in the effort to move the ship.

You can't see his strings....

Start to pump helium into the containers in the bows until it floats like a balloon ...
