Quote:
Snipers determined that one of the pirates had trained an AK-47 on the captain and seemed about to fire, Vice-Adm Gortney added.
...
The snipers fired on the pirates for several minutes. Capt Phillips was unhurt despite being just a few metres away from his captors during the shooting.

Nice shooting.
I would be willing to read this guy's book when he gets a book deal. This has been a pretty interesting story.
