Americans take ship back!
I heard this story break on the BBC World service early this morning, that Somali pirates had hijacked a US flagged container ship and after a battle lasting several hours had taken the ship,,, Then on the way home this afternoon I hear on NPR that the American crew had taken the ship back, but not the captain... http://apnews.excite.com/article/200...D97EG5800.html 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" :-) Cheers Martin |
