News stories you never thought you'd hear from the UK. A tanker gets hijacked in the English channel and Special Forces were called in to take back the ship. What's the thought process here from the pirates? Steal huge slow moving ship and.... Profit?



Every one of those Special Forces members must have volunteered for that task. "Sir I've trained for this scenario"

I feel sorry for the correspondents they send out to these locations... it's pitch black, it looks cold af, and we gleam nothing form Duncan being on the shoreline.

To be fair that's how the UK is during the whole winter.

Glad to see this time honoured British tradition coming back.

Makes sense that in a post-Brexit economy we will be looking to new means of economic growth. I look forward to our new status as the Pirates' nation of choice.

Britannia rules the waves!

Do you think the asylum seekers asked politely if they could take over the ship?

Pretty please, with sugar on top?

Maritime law and a hijacking needs to be treated as such.

 

[Mistershine.]

I assume they were dealt with with extreme prejudice?

 

[nush]

Tango down.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

I assume they were dealt with with extreme prejudice?

Yep, given 10 bedroom houses in Regents Park and a daily £1000 spending allowance

 

[Dr.D00p]

Those are SAS pussies, This hijacking was ended by the SBS, who trained James Bond.

 

[Pagusas]

Wonder if requesting parlay works?

 

[Lanrutcon]

This, if any is a good reminder to give big ups to the film Captain Phillips.

If you havent seen it, check it out. It's worth it.

 

[Kamina]

[FreedomOfSpeech]

When a king brands us pirates...

You actually don't, it's easy to opt out despite how much the BBC try and claim it's a crime.

This channel is awesome. I can't recommend both Gulf War first day (air and ground) time lapses enough.
