CNN: Crew Storms Bridge to Wrestle Control of Pirated Ship
A crew battled pirates in a deadly fight Tuesday to regain control of a North Korean cargo ship off Somalia, the U.S. Navy said. The Navy is still chasing a second ship held by pirates in the area.What does this have to do with Manhattan real estate you ask? Nothing. I just can't believe I read a story about pirates taking over a ship. A little reminder that old habits die hard and some side news before we delve into fed talk tomorrow!When the fight aboard the Dai Hong Dan was over, two pirates were dead and five others were captured, the Navy said, citing initial reports from the crew. Three seriously injured crew members were transferred to the destroyer USS James E. Williams, according to the Navy.
Pirates had seized the ship's bridge while the crew was holed up in engineering and steering compartments, the Navy said.
