Re: Oil tanker gets nicked
How many barrels of oil are on there? And how many crew?
My guess is the American Special Forces will just storm the fucker any day now and risk acceptable losses. Hopefully they'll do a little better than the Russian Special Forces recent track record.

Re: Oil tanker gets nicked
Tons of it apparently.

Re: Oil tanker gets nicked
That's a different ship, I thought you meant the Sirius Star and was about to say how great they were to escape.
On this ship the two fuckers that jumped ship were supposed to be the security!![]()

Re: Oil tanker gets nicked
The picture on the link is entitled Sirius Star, so i thought it was about the first ship.
My bad.

Re: Oil tanker gets nicked
All the crew on the Sirius Star have been released. The pirates recieved the ransom money aftet it was dropped on board by a plane.
But get this, their small boat capsized in high winds.

Re: Oil tanker gets nicked

Smells fishy to me.
