I'm pretty certain if you nuked the container ship you'd solve the first problem - it'd be messy and expensive but if you could explosively throw chunks out of the canal you could probably resume service.
And just imagine how badass the canal would look if we glassed the banks and lined them with some LEDs!
I was thinking the same thing - that glassed canal would probably be so scenic that you'd cause several future traffic jams from private vessels and romantic cruises charting a path through the already near-capacity canal.
And just imagine how badass the canal would look if we glassed the banks and lined them with some LEDs!
