As per breaking news updates, the US Navy missed a chance to rescue the American captain held by Somali pirates aboard a lifeboat in the Indian Ocean when he made a daring escape bid and jumped into the sea.
Captain Richard Phillips escaped through a back door in the covered lifeboat at around midnight local time and began swimming away in the dark, US officials said. At least one pirate jumped in after him and brought him back aboard the boat, which is drifting without fuel, before a nearby US destroyer, USS Bainbridge, could intervene.
The incident was captured on video by an overhead US drone. “He didn’t get very far,” one official said.
NBC News reported that several shots had been fired at Captain Phillips during the escape attempt, and that he had been seen being helped back into the lifeboat. The US Navy had asked for "proof of life" to establish that the American skipper was still alive but was not able to talk to him by radio, the network said.
What a bunch of filthy niggers.
