Oregon tried that with a dead beached whale 50 years ago. Results hilarious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6CLumsir34

Not enough bomb :[

If this had gotten stuck in 1960s Russia they would have done that already.

And 70 years later the radiation levels would be getting back to normal.

Can use this to avoid radiation :] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father_of_All_Bombs

Ironically, the blast radius of that thing is still smaller than the ship that would need to be blown up. If you really want to clear the canal with an explosion, it would have to be one large enough to vaporize the ship, making sure there's no debris in the canal afterwards.

How many tons of explosives would be required to "bomb it to smithereens" without leaving wreckage that blocks the canal? Please calculate and show your work.

This was my idea but I figured I’d get laughed out of the comments. Glad I’m not the only one considering it.

What would be the total loss cost of this ship?

less than the cost of the canal being blocked for multiple weeks
