JET EMT Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 For anyone who has not heard, The Captain of the merchant ship that was being held hostage by Somalian pirates off the coast of Somalia is free, and three of the four pirates that were holding him, have died from "Accute Lead Poisoning" ie shot and killed by American Military Sharp shooters. The fourth pirate is in US custody on board the USS Bainbridge. Way to go!!! to Captain Phillips, and all the Navy personell and agencies involved. HAPPY EASTER
itku2er Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Great news and I hadnt heard been in hell all day ie work!
Richard B the EMT Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Bringing it all together, now let's have Captain "Sully" Sullenberger be on the flight crew that brings him back to the USA!
FireMedic65 Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Bravo! Glad to hear he is doing alright and not in the hands of savages anymore.
CBEMT Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 I'm happy the captain is safe. I'm NOT happy that the 4th pile of rotting horse shit will now get himself a public defender on my dime, be tried on my dime, and then be housed, fed, clothed, and provided better medical care than half the population for the rest of his natural life (which will now be generations longer than it would have been in Somalia) on MY DIME.
Chief1C Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 I'd dump him, with punctured veins, in the open ocean..
Tmurphy Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 This is good news. My mom was having a fit over the fact there are pirates. I don't know what to tell the woman.
Just Plain Ruff Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 I'm happy the captain is safe.

No this will not be the way it happens, he will be freed in order to foster better relations with the Somali government. He may even get out on asylum and lead a productive criminal life in the good ole USA.
