Phillips was at the reign of the Maersk Alabama. Guards on the cargo vessel repelled the attack with evasive maneuvers and returning gunfire. The pirates opened fire on the ship within about 300 yds. Most of the normal cargo vessel are not defended with any guns or arms. "This is a great example of how merchant mariners can take proactive action to prevent being attacked and why we recommend that ships follow industry best practices if they're in high-risk areas," (Guardian) Also, the Somali pirates got 3.3 million dollars to free 36 crew members on a Spanish ship, Alakrana. The pirates, each one of them may face 200+ years in prison. Pirates have captured more than 50 ships off the coast of Somalia. Sources- []-Guardian []- CNN Similar- They agree on most points they mention like the 36 freed crew members on the Spanish vessel. Both of the articles have very long description which tell the point of this article. Difference- The differences are that CNN has a video and the Guardian only has a picture of the second attempt hijack vessal at night. Opinion- The Somali pirates once again try to take/capture the MA but failed this time which is lucky for the crew. But then again it could mean sooner or later there will be a third attempt on the cargo vessel. We must stop these pirates cold in their tracks.
