Better not let Chuck Schumer find out about this. Deck Chair control would really hurt the Cruise Ship business.

“terror struck just one week in, when the MSC Melody was off the coast of Somalia, a spot haunted by pirates”
So,they were surprised when the pirates showed up?
Perhaps they expected Al Gore or the Wicked Witch of the North.
At least they had prepared themselves with the latest in self defense deck chairs.

I honestly thought this was satire when I read the headline.
Somewhere, there is a Somali with a headwound having to explain to his buddies he got owned by a chair.

...when the MSC Melody was off the coast of Somalia, a spot haunted by pirates,...What were they thinking? Off the coast of Somalia. That's like parking your car to listen to the radio and look at the stars while sitting in the middle of a ghetto in a big city.

A luxury cruise sailing off the coast of Somalia? What could possibly go wrong? /rhetorical

when the MSC Melody was off the coast of Somalia, a spot haunted by pirates, that's like the German lady that jumped into the pool of the polar bear den at the zoo - and is surprised when she gets attacked.

Real heroes. And a lot better to get hit with some shrapnel than to be captured by Somali pirates.

Strange to see a story about a cruise ship and deck chairs with no mention of Titanic or icebergs.

Deck Chairs are good.

"As gun shot rang out, the couple defiantly armed themselves with deck chairs, tables and whatever came to hand as they helped to beat off the outlaws." As the old jokes goes...
Meanwhile...back at the ranch...Granny is beating off the Indians!

I just wished they would allow the revival of the Q-Ship--essentially a ship that looks like a conventional cargo ship but when the Somali pirates get too close the M2 Browning machine gun and M242 Bushmaster gun emplacements are unveiled and a small number of well-placed rounds will end the attack in short order.

I didn’t know MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Co.) had cruise ships. I was thinking this was a container ship that offered passenger service.
Looking up the ship on Wikipedia I see it was also attacked by pirates off the Seychelles in 2009.
