This is an interesting video, showing the ship that blocked the Suez canal. fast forward a bit into it.
Look at how bent up that thick metal is. That's probably 3/4 or 1" plate? I don't know. but when you look at the damage and listen to how it could have broken apart... it makes sense.
pretty cool
 
I bet a good bit of that damage ocured after the grounding, from the tide goig out, and a lot of the ships weight resting on the bow. Most of that looks to be directed up wards, not aft. Shows why they had so much trouble getting her free.
