Only my assumption/hope they drowned. I’m sure we will find out.
this is only a guess..but they tried to take a ship manned by American Merchantmen..they learned the hard way not to do that..I betcha those guys that “jumped” overboard never knew they were doing so and never knew they hit the water..something to do with a lack of breathin and seein and stuff..why should they be taken prisoner and sent to some prison someplace where they (the pirates) can then gain the sympathy of MSNBC, CNN etc. and make absolute fortunes doing it..while those same networks condemn the brute force against these “fisherman” who were obviously lost and simply boarded to ask for directions..
Pirates make great shark bait.
