#1 Spending two years of your life as a hostage? With Somali pirates? Miserable.

#3 Yeah - we got it. The ship was ransomed, and the crew was left in the hands of the pirates. We can definitely see the priorities of the fleet operator here.

Bad way to go. Lately the pirates have been locking captives inside refrigerators, or beating them up. Just for sport.
