The only package to be delivered on their boat should have been a rocket to take them out and feed the sharks.

Poor guy. He was probably really excited about his future when he got the money, then tragedy struck.

Yeah, he enjoyed having the money, feeling no remorse, for just a short moment.

bushlover: it was the world's largest oil tanker, full of crude belonging to an American company. The boat was worth how many billions? Man, no wonder the doctrine never had a snowballs chance in hell of success. Drop a rocket? Piracy will now become the business of choice for the underworld - the less educated always get pushed out of a new trade by the better equipped. As armchair critics rant about nuking the seadogs, the navies fret about he new players coming in...

Maybe impregnating the money with hallucinogenics was a good idea alter all.

It seems to have gotten out of control but it is interesting to read why the Somali pirate's started to become pirates and why other countries navies stayed away from Somali for so long.
