Like I said in another post, none of this would have happened if the shipping company had employed two extra crew...................equipped with a couple of 50 cal. rifles with scopes!
@@ratherb_skating7145 And how were they going to stop that happening with some crazy, doped out pirate firing an AK47 above the crews heads. What a stupid comment you make. As I said, when you take out the pirates BEFORE they get on the ship, nothing else is relevant!
The idea that a group of guys with nothing more than small arms would be able to commandeer a container ship is beyond belief. One or two guys on deck of the tanker with nothing more than rifles could have prevented the entire thing. The most basic self defense doesn't exist on a ship of that size? Hilarious
Ships like this hire mercenaries as security and such these days. And international arms laws have been relaxed a degree due to this very incident. Due to international laws, if these ships carried arms on board they'd be unable to port. The idea of sonic blasting, water cannons and churning up a hard wake is laughable at best. "Don't want to hurt the poor pirates." Laws being drafted from the mainland as far away from the action as possible. What if these pirates understood how the ship operates, what if they didn't need the crew and disposed of them? It didn't happen, but it could have and however unlikely it is still a factor. Lethal force is the only thing desperate men understand.
@@johnbauby6612 of course not but I also know how to educate myself. That's why I also know that they were unarmed and untrained for the situation as stated in the lawsuit filed against Maersk. That lawsuit changed how the industry worked forever. Next time educate yourself before trying to sound smart.
They used to be unarmed all the time. Many now hire mercenary security teams when out to sea in high risk areas. This incident was the catalyst for a lot of that change. That and military naval vessels now patrol it more. Ethiopia now has a stable government which has also curbed a lot of the pirates.

Just one guy with a gun scope or not. The ships crew also prematurely let their captain go while they're own Captain was inside the escape boat.
I’m sure you are the only one to ever consider that!

You know this is a true story right?

This is why the gov wants to take away your guns... you become like the people on that ship.

Do these boats really head out on the sea unarmed?

It used to be illegal for civilian ships to carry arms
@@Tigerheart01 *Somalia. Ethiopia is landlocked. Not too many land pirates coming out of there.
Not anymore lmao
@@icecoldpolitics8890 Not Illegal If You Have A Permit
