Good News: Our Children Have Some Terrific Ideas for How to Get the Big Ol’ Boat Unstuck From the Suez Canal
Harper, 13: “Here’s what I think they should do. They should get everyone in Egypt, and everyone brings their own rope, and they tie all the ropes along the side of the boat, and everyone pulls it as hard as they can. If we get all the people in Egypt, that weight can turn it and then they can steer the boat.”
Alex, 12: “Just turn the wheel to the left.”
Nina, 8: “What’s it stuck on, sand? They should move the sand.”
Theo, 6: “They should get giant oars and row it.”
Owen, 5: “Just get a crane to lift it up. Did they call the crane to lift it up?!”

Like the Mythbusters did, they could fill up the boat with ping pong balls! (70 seconds)

It's not "sunk" ...in fact its motors were working when it got blown sideways. They've since off-loaded fuel and ballast, and the tide is rising so there's hope to get it going soon'
