Just think if the captain had a mean streak in him. Running down those two little dingys would have been no problem, then we would have some evidence of who they are.
One report I read today said that the captain did indeed try to run one over but missed.
Its too bad the Captain didnt have an M-60 stowed away on the ship, so he could have sunk those turds.
I'd rather see him back over them, but I guess I could get on board your plan. LOL
If they are ordinary pirates running them down is a good idea. If they are suicide bombers, running them down places the bomb right where it will do the most damage.
A cruise ship should be able to outrun most of these. I wonder what is going to happen when the bad guys decide to use a faster boat?
