“It would be best to get the crew out of there, and then trigger an “accidental” explosion. You know what big a bang all that benzine would make? A “Big badda boom!””
You know you will get ‘flamed’ for this.
I would say something to protest your remarks, however, it was the first thing that popped in my head when I first read the article.

Sounds like the shore negotiations are being conducted by allies of the pirates to me. I would guess yes, but then We'll never know. Every officer and soldier
there in somolia are most likely on the take since there's nobody to answer too.

Pay the ransom, in specially printed currency, with tracking devices in the bundles of money. After they release the hostages and the tanker, or if they don’t, kill them.

I’m thinking like a baby A-10, if there is such a thing.
It's real, the ARES from Scaled Composites, although I think only one exists at present. Carries a GAU-12/U 25mm Gatling gun and is powered by a single P&W JT15D-5 turbo fan, same as in the Beechjet/T-1A Jayhawk)>

Send in Delta. It would take them about ten minutes.

Coordinate with the South Korean Marines/Special Forces & U.S. Navy add in a few Ghurka’s just to liven things up & go to town on the pirates.

I was thinking SEALs, but either would do the job nicely.

Yeah, I know. I want to see the crew saved. But I have no sympathy for the pirates. I couldn’t care less about what happens to them. If they go up in a “big badda boom”, it’s okay with me.
