Easter Lead : )

MOMBASA, Kenya — "U.S. Navy snipers opened fire and killed three pirates holding an American captain at gunpoint, delivering the skipper unharmed and ending a five-day high-seas hostage drama on Easter Sunday.

The pirates were pointing AK-47s at Capt. Richard Phillips and he was in "imminent danger" of being killed when the commander of the nearby USS Bainbridge made the split-second decision to order his men to shoot, Vice Adm. Bill Gortney said."


Love those Navy Seals :flag1:

split second decision? He was held at gunpoint for 3+ days...

Good to know he's home safe though.

Bordering on near impossible if both were moving. But if everyone was on a large enough ship, then it would be a bit easier. But its good to hear that things are over.

Three skinnies down,
One skipper rescued,
The best Easter Sunday I could have ever asked for!

Just a side note I wanted to add. I was watching the FOX News channel for all the updates on the story, and I've got to tell ya's, I think I'm in love with their weekend anchor, Julie Banderas!!! It's either love or lust ...not really sure, but I'll go out on a limb and say it's love!
