US cruise ship outruns pirates

yes but the people on the cruise ship don't know what they have. There is no way they would risk the liability of attempting to run away and get blown up. It's much cheaper for the to be overtaken and not risk loss of life and a wrongful death suit. I don't really think if a ship was overtaken by pirates and the ship surrendered that someone could sue the ship.

its a cruise ship of AMERICANS though. they'll tear 8 terrorists up regardless of if they know what they have or not.
