that's one of the more "friendly" videos i've seen.
what amazes me - at first - is how brave and dumb they must be for undertaking such an obvious suicide mission.
do you think they knew what they were up against? do you think they thought the boats were undefended? do you think they had a choice to go in the first place?
Some of these pirates once tried attacking an actual warship, mistaking it for a cargo ship. So they don't seem to be the smartest or most prepared.
Most desperate and possibly trying to pay ransom for their families.
I would imagine the ones that attack an armed ship don't make it back to warn the others.
And the ones that succeed probably didn't run into resistance.
