Bio
I suppose that I should give some sort of Bio - I'm a superannuated Boston transplant to the Seattle area who came out when the bottom fell out of the Telecom industry a few years back. Engineering just ain't what it used to be and it's unlikely it ever will be again. I'll get over it. I've lived here for five years and doubt that I'll ever get used to the west coast. That may not be a bad thing.

Your link is broken. You can read about it here from the BBC . monkey fingered.
Thanks BBE, I've got the link fixed. The BBC link you provide has more details than mine.

I would have guessed that snipers resolved the situation. As I told my wife earlier today, I don't think that the four pirates realized that they were hostages just as much as the Captain.
Glad he's freed. Thanks for the links.
I'm sorry we didn't meet at the meet up. I have some inside news about all this pirate stuff. It would have been interesting to chat about it.
