I'm telling you, blow up a hijacked ship or two, problem solved.

Right now there's no downside for the pirates.

let's see, we have one ship that might have radioactive cargo, and another that's an oil supertanker. Both have the full crew on board. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:09 3
- not to mention the one with tanks and ammo (although I guess if it's D.U., that might explain the radioactive cargo) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:12 1
  - that's the one I mean. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:12
- you mean causing a potential ecological disaster also wouldn't solve the problem?....nm - x Nov 19, 10:11
Seriously. Take a couple of old tankers, load 'em with ordinance, and trigger 'em to blow when boarded - decline Nov 19, 10:07
You do realize that the crews are generally held hostage along with the ship, right? -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 10:06 1
- you mean it wouldn't solve the problem when no one wants to crew the ships going through there?....nm - x Nov 19, 10:09
SHOOT THE HOSTAGE! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:05 5
- It's sad to think that the hostages are probably more expendable than the ships. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 10:06 4
  - In the eyes of the ship owners, that is. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 10:06 3
    - probably hostage-takers, too. Although this will only last until a teenager gets held hostage, then Delta Force will solve the problem. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:07 2
      - Charlie Sheen and Chuck Norris will solve this! -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 10:08 1
        
        I was thinking more like Snake Doctor and Dirt Diver, but sure ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:10
