Pirates???

When I saw the headline for this article, I thought it was a joke.  Apparently, a group of pirates attakced a cruise ship off the coast of Somali and attempted to board it.  The ship changed courses and escaped the two boats of pirates armed with machine guns and grenade launchers.

Who would have thought that there are still pirates in this day and age?  I thought pirates disappeared back in the 1800s!  As I've said, it's unbelievable that with all the progress in society there are still these types of incidents.  You would think that with the technology of GPS satellites, law enforcement could track and capture thugs like these.  What's next, maybe train robbers will make a comeback?
