Capt. Richard Phillips - safe
According to first reports, Capt. Richard Phillips jumped into the
water for the second time from the lifeboat on which four Somali
pirates had been holding him for four days. This time he made it to
safety – possibly helped by US frogmen - giving the opening for the US
Navy to attack the AK-47-assault gun-toting pirates who held him.
Three were killed and one taken into custody. The captain was held
after his ship the Maersk Alabama and crew was briefly commandeered.
The rescue took place as the lifeboat was nearing the Somali coast
where Phillips could have been made to disappear. He is now unhurt
aboard the USS Bainbridge nuclear guided-missile cruiser.
