I don't understand why they didn't immediately figure a way to start unloading the damn thing. It's pretty obvious if you take some weight off it would re-float on it's own. Get some smaller ships and a crane boat and start taking the stuff off. Hell even helicopters would be cheaper than having the shipping lane closed off.

I bet that was not a small ticket.

I never understand these types of tows. So, they caught a ride to U-haul, rented a U-haul, rented a U-haul trailer, then towed it all to repair, then returned all the rentals, IF they survived and didn't get fined off the road. What would have a LEGIT tow have costed and it would've been one and done???
25 years ago we BURIED a loader tractor in mud. Dug our azzes off and messed around for a whole day. We could've called in favors and tore off chains and ropes and spent another day or 2 wrecking stuff, but circumstances at the time made us call a wrecker. We stood on the high ground drinking coffee watching it come out. Best $100 we ever spent.

I see a Tranny rebuild in that U-Hauls Future.
I read that there were no cranes in the region with enough height and reach.
One photo showed a smaller one that might reach the containers along the top edges.
