My guess: The Easter SEALS!
Easter SEALS! I love it!
But it makes perfect sense. Haven’t these pirates watched ANY American films or movies? Send six SEALS under the cover of night who all swim up simultaneously and slit the pirates’ throats or shoot them - I don’t care which.
How did these Somalis think they were going to survive? They should have negotiated to get away alive - just because America may to slow to wrath doesn’t mean its patience is unending.
And praise to his wife, who knew from the beginning that he would get out of this. I hope he makes millions selling the story. Hell the film should be shown as a warning all over the Somali Coast - THIS is the way the US does it.
