re: #85 itellu3times

Late word is he did NOT jump in the second time, but was tied up in the boat.

… which was under tow and 30 meters from the fantail and Marine snipers.

If that’s so, those were some really stupid pirates.

I still wonder, however, how it is that they were able to force Capt. Phillips back in the boat after he jumped out on his escape attempt. One would have thought that the moment he hit the water, the pirates would experience immediate dissuasion from poking their heads above the gunwales, much less firing at the escapee.
