Maersk Alabama evades another pirate attack

wall street, USA today, google



The Maersk Alabama was attacked again by pirates, but this time after the ship was captured some men fired back killing three pirates in a daring nighttime attack and were able to evade the attacks. This time the ship had private guards fought the pirates off with gun fire and a high decible noise. The ship was attacked off the coast of Somalia, and was dropping off food to the war-torn country before heading on to Kenya. This time the ship was prepared for an attack and they were able to fight off with their guards on board.



If I were a pirate and I attacked a cargo ship, I would never attack it again, because the next time it may be armed and prepared for the attack. The bad guys never win and that's the case here. They should learn if they fail once, things are going to be worse the next time. I don't like pirates and don't know what the trill is attacking and hijacking the ships to capture the cargo. The pirates maybe sneaky, but after a ship is attacked once, you are aware of the danger and will have protection on your ship. I am glad that the pirates failed and they have to learn that the bad guys never win.
