Someone else said it and it bears repearing: If Panama doesn't have a plan to blow the whole canal they need one ASAP.
-
They should ask the Swiss for their expertise as they had rigged most of their border bridges for decades.
-
Honestly I hope they rig it to blow
-
They have no armed forces. Panama always assumed that because of the importance of the canal, in case of external aggression the US will step in to defend them. LOL.
-
What a ridiculous waste of resources.
-
They have to be careful because it runs on their biggest city’s water supply. They need to rig the valves closed in a way that’s difficult to fix.
-
They don't need to blow it. They just need to sabotage the locks.
Without functional locks, it is just the world's largest water feature.
-
Republicans, what a ridiculous waste of oxygen
-
Pretty much this. Even with modern equipment, it would be a huge feat of engineering to fix the locks in a short enough timeframe to not have a huge effect on the world economy. Without the Panama Canal, cargo ships are gonna be burning WEEKS navigating around the Cape or coming around through the Arctic.

Why is this funny?
-
Probably because the US is now the aggressor?
