I just started reading the story, a few minutes ago... the first confirmation that I’ve seen.
HOWEVER, what I want to know is how come “Americans” are on board a North Korean ship. I believe the story here was that “Americans” took back the ship, but I see that this is a North Korean ship... LOL...
Hmmmm....

Technically- FOX just reported that it’s being reported- but declined to confirm it as yet.
I’m searching the net- no other confirmation as yet..fingers crossed:)

"...if you don’t throw him overboard to the sharks, HANG THE B@ST@RD." Absolutely. This isn't eve a close call. As an added bonus, the waters off the Somali coast are some of the most shark-infested seas in the world.

Your link carries a story from October 2007, about a North Korean ship.
Try again.

You said — Fox now reporting this story.
—
Do they say what “Americans” are doing serving as a “crew” on board a North Korean ship?
LOL...
To: Robe
Do you not see that your CNN link says 2007? And that it’s about a KOREAN crew of a KOREAN ship?

Never mind the plank, what with budget cuts and all. Just walk over the edge.

With such a large vessel, why don’t they just run over the speedboats that the pirates are in? It seems that even a minor course correction by the larger ship would swamp them.

No, merchant mariners are not the Marines.
