I wonder what happened, did the Americans, sick of terrorist jerks
taking
whatever they want say "Enough, we're not going to roll over like a
bunch
of underpaid Filipinos." "We're UNION, and no non-union crew is gonna
run
this boat" :-)


If you are wondering what happened simply ask the captain of the ship if
he
is returned alive for $10 million.


Unions: always quick to shaft the management!


*There will be no ransom paid.
Crews fine.

The Captain is in a lifeboat surrounded by half a dozen 50 cal.
machine guns.

How come he is surrounded by half a dozen machine guns, only 4 pirates
attacked the vessel.
1 was captured, 3 remains with the captain.- Hide quoted text -

A US Navy Destroyer and 3 fast ribs surround the lifeboat he is held
in.
The pirates should stick to capturing euro and mid east ships if they
expect to be paid ransoms.

I suspect the pirates will surrender, or be killed, before any money
is exchanged.
