I’m listening to CBS News here in Los Angeles (KNX 1070AM) reporting that the crew HAS regained control of the ship.
Reporter is saying three pirates thrown overboard.
Perhaps not a hoax after all!

The author of this thread posted a link that said it was a North Korean vessel, with no Americans aboard... LOL..
Are you sure??!!
To: Robe
That seems to be about a North Korean freighter, not the Maersk Alabama

It sure sounds like it. I’m getting “stories” from the year “2007” confirming this story... LOL...

A course correction in one of these loaded cargo ship could take 15 to 20 minutes. They don’t turn, stop or accelerate quite like a US Carrier.

regained control of the ship throwing three pirates overboard and capturing oneThat's a pretty good trick when you consider that most of these pirates are armed to the teeth...
