Three Pirates gone, One in captivity. Hopefully this will help end the
creepy pirate crap of the shipping industry.
The Maersk from Norfolk VA. Near my hometown was safetly taken to its
destination by its second in command.
A great end to a dangerous situation on Easter Sunday.

They should make the surviving pirate walk the plank.


GO TEAM

At least it will make them think twice before grabbing
a US flagged ship again, I hope.

Not only US flagged ships but any ship.

I agree, but with most companies/countries just paying
the ransom money, I don't think it will stop soon. It's
just been going on for way to long.

I don't think they can think. They tried 4 more over night. And at
least one was an American ship. Shot a hole in it too.
I hear that land based search for the pirates will be underway soon.

Just did a quick read on that and at least no one was hurt
and they didn't take the ship. I do hope that they search
for all of those pirates both on land and at sea and make
quick justus of them. We , the US, haven't had a problem
like this for over 200 years since we stopped the Barbary
Coast pirates at Tripoli.
