I read that too. But I have to think that they get storms like that
multiple times a year out there and it should have happened long ago...

What I read was sandstorm reducing vis to zero with high winds. I
presume their radar is good enough to see the canal, but if it was a
quartering gale wind that would be hard for any pilot. If he or she
stopped or reversed engines to come to a dead halt I would have
thought it would not have buried itself in the side. But stopping
something that large... Storm could have hit so suddenly that they
couldn’t halt fast enough.

Since every ship transits the canal with a certified pilot on board, I
want to know the story from the pilot. As soon as they assume
responsibility on the bridge it’s their problem.
Thank you,

You see, the root cause is that the canal is only 200 meters wide. If
they had dredged it to 450 meters, that sucker could have done a
little spin.
The other solution would be to only allow ships that are < 200 meters
long.
