Pirates

Bisher El-Touni of Associated Press writes, "Passengers described their horror as pirates in speedboats chased their luxury cruise liner at sea, firing rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles — with smiles visible on faces otherwise hidden by ski masks.". This news report reads like a scene of a Jackie Chan flick. Luckily, crew and passengers of the 440-foot-long, 10,000-ton cruise ship escaped by changing course and outrunning the crazies.
