But while Phillips' story -- and by extension, "Captain Phillips" -- had a happy ending, the Maersk Alabama has not been so fortunate, facing further pirate assaults in recent years. The ship was attacked a second time in 2009, again in 2010 and yet again in 2011. Each time, though, the assailants were repelled by armed security forces. [More]That sounds pretty damned fortunate to me.
"Authorized Journalist" propositions: Unarmed, helpless victims in need of armed rescuers = happy ending.
Successful armed self-defense = misfortune.
