Pirates have been getting alot of bad press lately. 3 dead to US snipers, the humiliation of being bested by both the Italian and French navies, who have historically generally only been able to achieve victories when the opponent was Italian or French.
But this guy brings fail to a new level:

Quote:"We’re very proud of them and that they promptly tackled the emergency," said Gianluigi Aponte. "All security measures worked perfectly and Captain Pinto followed all security protocols to guide the ship out of danger. The crew showed great professionalism and extreme clarity."
So, in fact, a random passenger spotting the pirates and lobbing a deck chair at them was part of the security plan, which worked perfectly.

1. Alarms - check
2. Motion sensors and cameras -check
3. Angry brits -check
4. Lounge chairs and guns - check
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison

..But then he can send the cruise line a bill for 200 million for the ship that he saved them.
