I just heard it right now (10:53 AM Central time)on FOX NEWS. The crew has regained control of the ship!
Just because someone doesn’t have a verifiable source at the moment for a statement doesn’t mean that it won’t be confirmed within a short time as true. Perhaps “Robe” has, as I do, a source that is not always quotable for security reasons. Free Republic has members all over the world. Perhaps the father of the second in command of this vessel who was first contacted by his son saying the ship was retaken is a FReeper. Who the heck knows?!
