I'm wondering why they didn't try explosives under the bow sand formation to induce collapse of the upper layer.

Where would it go though? the sand has to go somewhere and if it just settled further into the canal it probably would just cause more problems. Plus, that could damage the ship.

I always post this video in these threads about shootings, but in this case it seems particularly pertinent given that the two events were so close together: Two? Does VA beach not count?
