Didn't read the thread, but what happened?
According to the ship’s agent, they had a total blackout. Lost engines and steering. Not a whole lot you can do at that point.

What's funny about that? The Suez Canal is open (you know, unless a 400m long container ship is sideways in the 200m wide canal) to ALL shipping that sails the high seas, including warships.
Here's an entire Carrier Battle Group in the Suez.

My guess is one of the tugboats helping steer either broke down or came loose and the other one kept going causing it to go sideways

So this has to be catastrophic to the world shipping industry the longer this thing is stuck.

It is catastrophic without this situation. Just making it worse.

Suez Canal needs a strong laxative.

Local authorities are deploying every resource available to solve the problem.

How are there not like 1000 tug boats all over the place there?

The front end loader is just there to carry the two shovels the men will be using

You would think, given the worldwide importance of this, that this eventuality would have been planned for and they would have a rapid response ready.
They clearly don't.
They clearly don't.
