Hijackers on Cargo Ship: 'They Ran'

[ramG35]

why don't cant they call for help, throw out some jets from the nearest carrier, shoot warning shots go home... i duno im just talking out my ass here

[SouthPortlandKK]

How many times does this have to happen before people start to figure it out?!

HAVE EVERY CREW MEMBER CARRY A LOADED WEAPON. Is it that hard? !@$% Hell, if I jumped on board with a loaded assault rifle I could probably hijack the ship too, whos gonna stop me?

[searchybay]

The owner said his crew "would be out gunned"..I don't get it..there was 20 crew members and 4 pirates. Or just hire a few more people to keep watch

[misxqueen]

WTF Somalia! boooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[6n7b]

i declare war on Somalia

[yakshid]

somali waters somali rules

[DorothyDandrich]

This was on the open sea

This was not

Somali waters

[shadowsam0]

@DorothyDandrich Pirates ALSO go to open waters these days so dont be surprised

[MrSiraff]

Fair enough - if the ships see a somali they should shoot them to prevent piracy them?

[AmericanSupremacy1]

@yakshid FUCK SOMALIA!

[1515pangoilong]

kill all of those pirates,,,,and feed it with sharks..they deserve it. ..love shark than those MONKEYS

[candjcal]

Nuclear waste of Somali.....Are you for real? Im sure being in Vancouver certaintly qualifies you for knowing what the US Navy is doing on the other side of the planet. What a nitwit. There is always some guys who can justify anything. Pirates are the bad guys, I'm sure id someone was trying to carjack you at gunpoint it would be the governments fault instead of the no good theiving A-holes trying to rob and kill you.

[bigblockbowtie]

do these idiots really think they are gonna get away, take a look outside your little boat, thats a United States Navy Destroyer, your fish food, give it up!

[mrboomer1]

the pirates hold the crew hostage and that way they get back to somalia safely and can demand a ransom. and in a lot of cases the us or British etc navy ships are too far away anyway to help.

[MrSiraff]

They get away with it all the time. That may well be a yee haa ship but if its 200 miles away its as useful as a chocolate teapot.

[jmo18799]

Im just waiting for Obama to apologize to the pirates for our ship going that way.Wanna stop this shit..Have our soldiers comming home from Iraq stay on these boats.That way they don't have to come home to no jobs.Our soldiers would get good money doing this.Plus they are trained with useing weapons.Give our boys the job.

[qfudgedoggy]

Nuclear waste dumping? Please. Please supply some validation. First of all why would any country send a boat laden with nuclear waste or toxic waste otherwise all the way to Somalia? It would be much easier to just dump it in the middle of the ocean. Secondly...how can a cadre of homeless, shoeless, uneducated economically downtrodden folk posess the nessesary testing equipment to discover radioactive waste in thier waters? Greenpeace...show the proof.

[hawkins455054]

the solution to this shit is arm the crews, if they know they are armed, do people think they will continue, have they every tried to hijack a military ship? no because they are armed.

[NoCussingClub]

Life Aquatic!

[PrimeReality]

I think there is more to the picture. I do not think we are hearing the full story.

[wavaso]

Yeh, the pirates also want a stimulus package.

[P3rf3ctStorm]

Arghhhh! Scallywags!!!

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Hijackers on Cargo Ship: 'They Ran' sounds like the hijackers were interviewed and said 'They ran" as in the crew...

[RabbiMarvTapirman]

TNB in all it's glory.

[wolfy1488]

to all the ceo's of these companies just remember a lot of Americans have guns and will travel start capping some of these zulu cunts and not pay them you'll see a lot less attacks

[lootloot21]

lol i luv these pirates....in a bad economy theres styll hope for good old take anything you want..just like the europeans stole america from the natives..hey i agree if your in Somalia waters you better watch out...or pay a trade route fee..yeaaah! go SP(somalipirates)

[grandsleuth]

hey dork!  300 miles off the coast is not somalia waters

[grandsleuth]

its called international waters dumbass

[lootloot21]

Hey to be honest, im coming from a real point of view, why do they drop nuclear waste on Somali waters?,, they been doing for 8years. I work in a greenpeace initive out in Vancouver, and to be honest Most of our collegues agree with the pirates to patrol their coasts. finally its getting the recognition it needs. And FYI pirates have never hurt or killed any of the hostages in the past 2years. Even former hostages spoke out on the Kindness of Somalis!so buddy get informed!

[expatted]

Piates still rule the sea. That's kinda cool, eh?!! Garr.

[Civsuccess2]

Anti-terrorist wins!!

[rwbigbear]

Hell, the crews should have marines on board and snip them as they try to climb aboard!!!!!! samali cowards!!!!!!!!

[GiovannaNYC]

I agree.

[wavaso]

The Whitehouse, for how long do you have to ignore the suffering Somalis those live inside Somalia ? I dont blame the pirates because that is their way of asking attention.

Somalia have no government for almost 2 decades. So Im expecting President Obama to talk about Somalia very soon

[GiovannaNYC]

You don't blame the pirates? Why the hell is this America's problem? Jesus your rational is wacked!!!

[wideawake123]

Your comment is idiotic. American Soldiers and Marines have Bled and Died trying to help the Somalis through the 90s. America has taken in Tens of Thousands of Somali immigrants over the last decade. Wherever you get your News, I'd fire them. They are making you look like a fool. Do you expect Obama to address Somalia the way the last Democratic POTUS did? I expect Obama to "talk" about everything...it seems that That is all he's good for.

[cdsupreme1717]

1:30 - Saint President Obama?

[silveramini]

First time a crew fought off hijackers. The only other similar incident was a crew of Chinese who used homemade Molotov cocktails to hold off hijackers until a German war boat came.

[center69]

Every sailor should have a pistol. Pop them pirates off as they climb aboard. Make a sport out of it. Call it Killing Time.

[wideawake123]

President Obama is keeping close tabs on the situation...Whew...I feel much better now. If things get rough, he may come out and condemn the pirates.

[GiovannaNYC]

Obama will probably sing the 100 bottles of beer song with the pirates.

[fghnpoma]

Obama dont give a shit! Hes a fraud

[upabittoolate]

i guess mccain is a real moderate, barr is a real libertarian & paul is a real reformist too. right?

[fghnpoma]

Yea they sure are the greatest in the business.Way better than this bone head running our country now.

[upabittoolate]

bonehead? you can't be that stupid. you couldn't carry his water. you're free to dislike his politics. but tryna call the guy anything less than talented is foolishness on your part

[danielkabuto]

either send bombs or send bread!!!

we have left over bombs thou!!!

[banjojambo9]

@ 1:30 he says -saint president obama

[danielkabuto]

will "saying" president obama, jaja SAINT

[shampoovta]

I think they did the right thing. Fight back!

[katey1dog]

You don't need hundreds of ships to patrol that off of Somalia. One US destroyer to eliminate anything that floats returning to land, or already landed.

[71Warrior4Jesus]

I need to be pirate one time. unemployment running out soon in the USA.  I am just kidding but a thought.

[rustyroadster09]

Send the a boat load of money, our greenback will not be worth the paper it's printed on very soon!

[71Warrior4Jesus]

sad but true

[JonahPasion]

then give them guns you geek! what can you do from an office? you would not be able to do hark labor. goof! we want them home, wah!!!! crybaby! give them guns, i hear joe horn has one up for sale.

[supahsuph]

pirates don't fear guns!! go go somalian people!!!

[eljono1]

exactly... they come at the boats on smaller boats.. I promise you if these freighters had gun power the pirates would not get close to them... wtf is wrong with carrying some rocket launchers
