The Real Maersk Alabama/Somali Pirate story (Never seen before footage)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 чер 2009
- This is a new docudrama from the discovery channel, it tells what happened at high seas with the Somali pirates that took Maersk Alabama and its crew for Hostage. (Watch the play by play clipsvery interesting)
They should make a movie out of this and call it "Captain Philips."
Yeah! And they should cast Tom Hanks in it :)
And have Paul Greengrass direct it
You know? Fuk it. Let's make it ouselves!! I'll call Tom Hanks
I got barkhad abdi on line 1
good people! lets make this happen!

Don’t forget the hook
First Corps patch
Fucking tryhards use ak-47's instead of powder cannons
I know it's killing, but those 3 synchronised sniper shots was a thing of beauty...
Meh, A triple collat would have been a thing of beauty. They put in so much effort to save on guy yet they let countless people die in their country for no good reason. Tsk

How is killing someone a thing of beauty

Killer Banana bro that’s a sick way of thinking 🤔
"Captain Phillips is free, all your friends are dead"
Party Artie just came from that video
Yikes
Honestly that’s almost kinda sad
I felt real bad for the kid.
I absolutely loved watching that scene. I wish I was the one who got to tell him that.
"Disable the pirates" sounds more professional than "vaporize their heads".
chemXal : Vaporizing their heads would certainly disable them! 🤣
I do like the ring of vaporize their heads
I think killing the pirates sounds more professional because they have a hostage in dangered and they are agressive
@Angelique Its not professional to take someone hostage, thats an emotional response
@@Geowolf02 in civilian firearms training the preferred term is "neutralize. " you use enough force to neutralize the threat, and no more. Sometimes that means killing someone, and sometimes it means drawing down (Aka, "pointing your gun at them") and commanding them to drop the weapon, or stop whatever they're doing that's making them a threat. It seems like semantics, but you don't want to kill people if you don't have to, from a civilian side you don't want to end up in jail, and from a military perspective they may have intel you want, among other reasons. So, by using the phrase "neutralize the threat" you're conditioning your guy with the gun to not use more force than he has to in order to do his job.
Three synchronized headshots on bobbing targets from a moving platform at night on Easter Sunday after sitting still for hours......Skills. I still can't believe the pirates were naive enough to think they had any chance once the navy showed up.
No shit! Shooting FROM a moving platform would be challenging enough(though under the ideal conditions I could envision the sheer bulk of the vessel resulting in a rhythmic motion) but shooting from a moving platform onto another moving platform AND synchronizing all three shots?! That's some sick fuckin work right there!
You really think the Navy was that wreckless with Capt. Phillips life? That they would only use 1 sniper per pirate and risk failure on the bobbing sea by taking a headshot? Had you been in command, this would have been your strategy? A human life at risk is no place to look for "skills" accolades... do that at the range. 3 to 4 Seals targeting each pirate.. 9 to 12 men- Each with 50 BMG sniper rifles that can penetrate the lifeboat without deflection. A 50 caliber BMG sniper rifle bullet would leave an exit would the size of a dinner plate. 50 BMG rounds are strong enough to severe limbs.When you are looking for an absolutely certain outcome.. you use a more certain tactic. Don't be fooled by TV show hired "experts".. I would suggest the real encounter was not as risky.
Closeoutracer That's a brilliant tactic private Gump. Instead of 3, .556 rounds, let's put 12, 50 BMG rounds through the lifeboat. Captain Phillips will have a better chance. A better chance of taking a stray round.
Did you have an an AK to your head? Bloody armchair general.
the "no negotiating with terrorists" philosophy helps people go a long way. all these pirates ever look for is a quick payday
The lead pirate is actually brilliant for requesting a medical care. He already knows they're all going to die and it's his only choice to live.
DOC MC brilliant? Lol Idk about that.
@@dalesfailssagaofasuslord783 its smart to pick reasonable option, than die getting nothing.
Angelique haha ok, anyone that chews on a plant that acts like cocaine and drives a shitty little boat out in the middle of the ocean to try to hijack an actual ship is no genius. Pretty laughable to even hear that. You have to be of very low intelligence to think it will work so save your genius comments for the next dummy.
@@dalesfailssagaofasuslord783 obviously they have a low intelligence. They are not lucky being born a war torn country where the government doesn't give a shit. They have to do these things to actually survive. Ever wonder why they're so many Somali pirates..
@@igormandic5185 He is alive and "well". He is taken care of and also passed the GED while in prison. He is better off than many if not most in his country. He won't be free until 2038 - as he shouldn't - but I'd argue that he might have a different opinion from yours.
This is underrated, three Seal snipers have to all take the perfect shot. Small points of visibility, bobbing boats, and there’s a friendly inside of this small boat. This was a masterpiece.
And yet they could have taken them all hostage and put them in prison instead of killing 3 men for one un harmed life. Educated men versus starving men… who’s the one in control who is privileged? America could have done better.. it’s not about the shot it’s about saving the world from hunger and poverty.

@Ilyas Ali And God tossed them down to the hell they belong.
They’re not allowed to be identified when they’re part of Seal Team Six, it’s part of what they signed up for.
I recently learned that one of the three snipers in this operation died in the Benghazi embassy attack (you can watch 13 Hours, Secret Soldiers of Benghazi if you want to know what happened to them and how he died). It is sad to hear but salute to him.

Thank you
Robert O’Neil was on this operation too.So do this mean they were part of DEVGRU Red squadron?
@@g3tshotheett Yea I think so ... I'm currently reading books related to Team Seal Six because of the Operation Neptune's Trident and somehow, the Rescue of Captain Phillips is mentioned alongside it. And I'm talking abt not just one but three books so far.
And yah, I'm reading Robert O'Neils book "The Operator", I skipped the part related to this, but in the part where they have to kill Bin Laden, O'Neil mentioned about this fellow sniper who's also doing the mission with them. It was short but he did say that he's one of the sniper who killed the pirate on the boat. I'm guessing, the third.
God rest his soul. He served his country with courage.

Such irony
If you havent been on a small boat on an open sea with huge waves you cant understand how fast you get seasick, even with years working at sea.
@@apostolisvontas small boat isnt problem. Small and closed cabin without sight of horizon is what will get you seasick. Im not sure if I understood correctly, but they were using some amphetamine based drug to get rid of seasickness. It means they were just landlubbers :D
Cody McGuire Band (Somalian accent) where is my splif man
@@painxxxl On all collective lifesaving appliances like liferafts lifeboats and freefall boats like the one they are in there are lifesaving appliances like special dry food so you have less tendencies for throw up, there is 1.5 L of table water per day plus some mechanisms to make some more clean water out of seawater, also there are seasickness pills etc im not going to go in detail. Accoring to SOLAS(Safety of Life at Sea) in case of distress for example your ship is on fire that is out of control and you need to abandon ship once you get into freefall boat you have to take 1 seasickness pill immediately and consistently take 1 per day just because you have limited resources out there and you must not throw up if you do throw up you get dehydrated but the water for each person is limited per day until someone from the SAR(Search and Rescue) operation finds you. Pretty much everyone that works on merchant vessel knows these things because they pass the STCW(Standards of Training, and Certification of officers on Watch) minimum training requirements.
I just saw the movie and I totally agree with you. The final 20 minutes, I was squirming in my seat. An excellent movie! The director Paul Greengrass who also directed 'United 93' is a genius.
But he dont include those men b4 philip waa taken hostage..How about Engineer Perry who stab the head pirate to save the crew and even Mr philip
@@negrabandida7340They were included in the movie you literally see it happen
Paul Greengrass has 3 pieces of genius that work so well
1 is the fact he goes out of his way to get the facts long before showing the story
2 making sure the story looks as real as physically possible
3 suspense, by using real life events he also is able to give the audience the suspense, even though you know Maersk Alabama will be hijacked, he makes you really hope the pirates don’t get aboard, even though we know United 93 will crash, he makes you really hope very hard they they would be able to pull out of the horrific dive in time
Love Paul Greengrass’s work so much
Just amazing. So much skill involved in just taking one shot but to sychronize 3 simultaneously is just mind bending. True artisans of their craft. Dont know when it will happen but when this mission is finally fully declassified, I sure hope these SEALS gets their due and their names are memorialized for it in some way.
The should put heavy sedatives in the food and water, knock them all out
yeah but what if they are smart and one doesnt drink it to see what the effects are
And what if captain phillips eats or drink 2
@DSW22 Connor oh ok
They woudlnt all pass out at the same times tho so when the first goes down they will get angry and that risks the captains life
@@silkymilky4909 yeah that’s a good point, people metabolize sedatives at pretty different times. Some would take around 30 minutes and some could take over an hour and 30 minutes to pass out.

Good it wasn’t just me! I was crying my eyes out for our love of our military!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I remember watching it with my dad in the movie theater, I was 7
I also cried
I was crying because our military are killers just as much as they are saviors. Starving people who didn’t kill versus educated men who do kill.

i almost cried when i saw the movie (must watch)
Well , I cried عمر
This is just a fictional remake of real life events involving Tom Hanks being kidnapped by pirates
When you see how causal the pirates and the captain are in the documentary, you realize how well Tom Hanks played in the movie.
Seen it today.Some of the details are changed and some things left out but sticks to the events better than a lot of movies that are based on true stories.The coolest thing for me was the coordinated sniper shots which turn out to be one of the true parts.Great movie,most Tom Hanks films are.
"For the sniper the ultimate shot is the cranial cavity; the head shot" Thank you so much Captain Obvious!
And they refer to a head shot as a Complete or Total or Complete Cranial Evacuation. How's that for trying to obfuscate what is really going on.
beloog99 boi
well it is different for a sniper. for any other training you are told to aim center mass.

Halo headshot voice plays
I am completely honest the "Navy SEALS" always just seemed like some fancy term for yet another battle group but holy smokes does this change my mind. They are lowkey badass and they will complete the mission.
Oh yeah, they are genuinely are something special - and they’re not alone, they just happen to get the most media (Hollywood) attention. Other branches of the military also have elite units (think Delta Force) and other countries also have similar units: UK’s SAS (generally considered the best of the special forces, one of the oldest and most highly trained, many special forces, including the US, are based on the SAS, “ who dares wins”) and SBS, Australia’s SASR, Canada’s JTF2 (“deeds not words”), Norway’s MJK (there’s an iconic picture of them floating around on the Internet of four of them on the back of a zodiac or something in full gear, with netting over their heads, where they look like very intimidating aliens - if you do a search for Norway frogman, it should come up), Israel’s Sh-13, etc.
The man in charge of this Seal team & mission was Lt Commander Jonas Kelsall.
Sadly, he was killed in a helo crash on 8/11/11 In Afghanistan along with many other awesome Seals.
My God... Even "documentaries" have to sound all epic and like an action movie.

i'd say the way Tom Hanks conveys what happens in the movie was probably pretty accurate. that had to be scary as hell, even knowing the Navy is RIGHT THERE and you could still be killed at any moment.
Apparently Captain Phillips in real life was a dick and wasn’t a hero like they portrayed in the film.
I dont think anyone can really fully understand Somali Pirates unless you live where they live and experience what they do, unlike a majority of the rest of the world they dont have any opportunities whatsoever.
it's pretty straight forward actually. They are broke, have no education, no jobs and essentially not economy to fall back on. but they got a fuck ton of guns and people hanging around doing nothing. So they do something about their situation which is to become pirates. And based on their track record I'd say they are doing quite well for themselves
Alecxace Well.... It started a looong time back where Somalis where pissed off of i think Spanish fishermen emptying the sea for fish. it has since then escalated into a booming business. Hostages in good condition can get them a shitload of money
Many countries all over the world are as poor as Somalia, even in USA. people have to live under bridges and look for food on dumpsters.
Your argument is very lime excuse for kidnaping and asking several million dollars,
I was reading they have gotten as much as 10 million.
Yeah I would get your excuse and kidnap a millionaire and ask for 8 million dollars, since any poor person gets to do it, since we are poor.
1justice2012 your comment just made my iq go down
1justice2012 yea but Somalia is right by the most important shipping lane on the planet. so they have prime reason top become pirates with their dismal economic state. They have a unique opportunity and they are taking it whether or not you like it, it is what it is deal with it
What a stunning clip. Loved the movie, love this even more!
"we are not here to negotiate"
*proceeds to try to invade ship*
The movie was really awesome I recommend you to watch it
What a shot! All three moving targets hit simultaneously on a little boat in open waters through very little visibility. Wow that’s incredible.
"These men don't ask to be identified. They don't ask to be thanked."
That's part of the service. Pinpoint accuracy and supreme dedication is their 9-5. They don't expect a thank you for doing their job.
Thank you for this! What a crazy story
Great job 👏 thanks to everyone who was involved in the rescue., you did wonderful work..
That entire situation could have been avoided if the corporation which owns the Maersk Albama had invested in some proper defences against 4 men in a little dinghy. Haha
Chum Bucket no! The reason why it even happened is because they took a shorter path to save money they where warned!
Castle Byers I saw a video about that. While they took the shorter route, if they took the longer they were still in operating distance of some pirates
The pirates had a hostage, Captain Phillip.
Newman Waters no shit. He meant that maersk should have had some .50 cals or something on the ship to protect it from being boarded in the first place
@@justanotherasian4395 there’s an international agreement on a no gun policy when going through Somali waters. The pirates on the other hand are criminals they don’t follow the law obviously.
Came here after watching Captain Philips during this lockdown period. Everyone Stay Safe Stay Home .
"Without khat they're getting sea sick"
Yeah right, they're crashing because they're addicted
It's something to help prevent sea sickness
The one question that surely must be asked is why there are even pirates in Somalia. For me the film portrayed an even deeper problem than just a couple of pirates kidnapping a captain - it highlighted global inequality and how people are pushed to commit piracy acts. But in the society and world we live in today, we seem to fail in understanding this.
"why there are even pirates in Somalia?" You just answered your own question... "people are pushed to commit piracy acts" They have nothing but their trade per se of taking ships, What more is there to survive and get what they need. You could say the same for anywhere else, Desperation.
yeah, despite them being clearly criminals...I did feel bad for them, a bit. I have never been to Somalia, but I have personally seen some pretty poor parts of the world in Africa and Asia and it is sad that more can't be done. I don't agree with their piracy and nor will I ever support it, but I do understand it. All I can do for now is hope that such a situation as this will prompt the next Somali child that is asked/pushed towards piracy to reconsider it just a bit and do something a little more productive. I would assume piracy is down a bit though in the region...but I don't have any knowledge of it to say for certain.

That's a thing of beauty
I watch Captain Phillips repeatedly.. And i love to watch it and watch over again..
I just got back from seeing this movie. It was intense and I was also on the edge of my seat. Tom Hanks was amazing!!
Excelente profissionais.... altíssima competência.....
I only just saw the film Captain Philips, staring Tom Hanks last night, I know late, but it was absolutely brilliant ❤❤
Great discipline and execution, just super great - well done Guyz
I could have taken the shot too. I'm a master at quickscoping in COD :D
wow dude COD is fake try quickscoping in real life ur face is gonna look different in pictures
dude, watch Shooter movie, you will know that sniper won't aim at the moving target directly, you need to predict where the target will move, wind speed, etc and shoot at point where target will be. Moreover this operation was held on ship which was also moving and target also moving lifeboat. It was surely very difficult.
1. COD is fake.
2. You are not a SEAL.
3. It is hard as hell to hit a moving target. You have to be well trained.
4. Quickscoping is fake. You need to actually aim at the target.
5. Just...seriously?
6. Cod is fake. Didn't I say that already?

I think it was a joke, guy
Robert Romaine
hard to believe that some people don't get it
It's truly remarkable that three guys can shoot at the same time and hit their target. So much was on the line.
