Since the Arctic Sea was retaken, Russia has imposed a security blackout. The hijackers, the crew and two investigative teams were flown back to Moscow in three Il-76 air freight planes. For more than a week after being freed the crew were not allowed to talk to their families. The captain and three crew are still on board the ship, which has resumed its voyage to Algeria, but they have not been able to call home.

MISLEADING HEADLINE. The ship is no longer 'missing'

The hijackers, the crew and two investigative teams were flown back to Moscow in three Il-76 air freight planes.

That is a helluva lot of for the hijackers, crew, and investigators. An Il-76 can carry just over 88,000lbs and 140 troops. Three such aircraft are carrying a lot more than jiackers, crew, and investigators.
