#2 Greek captain I read about pitched two Tanzanian stowaways overboard with only a pallet somewhere off Somalia. Where they went overboard is known to be shark-infested.

One of his crew turned him in and he was charged with manslaughter in Greece. When asked about how he could possibly have done such a thing, he replied that "everyone knows that sharks don't eat black people."

I heard later he was acquitted.
