Hi myloters, I have just read a article on wired.com in the danger room blog about a the pirate attack off the cost of Afica. this artile shows a us merchent ship fending off a acctuly attack form priates in a speed boat. the ship was the Libberty Sun and they has used a seris of evasie manuvers and I belive the sonic weapon that has been used by a cruise ship once allready. the post has a youtube vid of the acculal attack shot form the bridge of the ship. This post also states how the president of the company has testified before congress asking for laws to allow for the mercent sailors to arm themselfs. Here is the link to the post. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/05/raw-video-inside-a-pirate-assault/ tell me what you think should be done. I think the person about these vessels should be alowed to armed themself and be able to defend themselfs. the video was very intersting at times not quite like in the movies. However Capt. Jack Sparow was no where to be found haha.

Wow that was really an intense. I think the shores should be protected by international police in these areas since the piracy is very rampant in these areas.

yes I read awhile ago that that was going to be a new way for these types of people, I am not sure what can be done in International waters as who is responsible for that area, maybe the ships themselves will have to have protective measures on board..it is very scary.
