Modern Day Pirates

Who would've thought in this day and age we would be hearing about piracy on our oceans again? I never would've believed it if I wouldn't have seen it on the news with my own two eyes. An oil tanker was boarded by pirates off the coast of Africa. After a short time holding the vessel ransom the pirates were over taken by the crew of the ship but the pirates kept the captain of the tanker hostage for in hopes of receiving ransom money for his return. They are still holding him in captive. Not only did I get to see the first African American president in office, but I also got to see the actions of modern day pirates! Hopefully all goes well for the captain who is being held hostage at the current time and I wish his crew the best of luck.
