Just re-read this again, I originally thought you meant Saudi Arabia & was thinking it is quite sandy & isn't all that green, you meant the ship right?John Bingham wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 1:08 amThey need to nuke that Ever Given heap of shit that's blocking progress right now.clutchcargo wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 8:48 pm Bit of related trivia..
The US had a plan in the 1960s to blast an alternative Suez Canal through Israel using 520 nuclear bombs
The US considered a proposal to use 520 nuclear bombs to carve out an alternative to the Suez Canal though Israel in the 1960s, according to a declassified memorandum. The plan never came to fruition, but having an alternative waterway to the Suez Canal could have been useful today, with a cargo ship stuck in the narrow path and blocking one of the world’s most vital shipping routes.
According to the 1963 memorandum, which was declassified in 1996, the plan would have relied on 520 nuclear bombs to carve out the waterway. The memo called for the “use of nuclear explosives for excavation of Dead Sea canal across the Negev desert.”

Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."
