The crew and passengers of a cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden found a novel way to fight Somali pirates off the coast of Africa. The vessel, manned mainly by Russian sailors, repelled the attack with planks and logs.
You gotta luv it!! About time the shipping industry started taking a stand against these nuts. I have found it ridiculous that past pirated ships gave up so easily. Of course I guess you had to be there. I believe the pirates won't give up but will find some other method of attack that won't expose them so much. The reward for them is too lucrative to give up irregardless of their losses.
