Does anybody know when or where this happened?
Looks like a camera from the 80's. Also, what the hell are they trying to accomplish is a better question, and damn all of those RPGs...
Damn...
did anyone die
:ohdear:

They're trying to get money. Piracy is the only way to get money in Somalia.

Judging by the amount of explosions, I'm pretty sure at least one person got injured.

Then why don't they just download money.

I may have heard the word Uganda in that video, I guess it could be there.
[QUOTE=booster;28309118]Military training?[/QUOTE]
most of them were in former militia who trained new recruits with U.S.S.R weapons
Silly Somalians, don't you know you can't capture a boat if its blown up?
I remember seeing somewhere that you could rent a trip to somalia to hunt down pirates
You would rent weapons and ammo
NOW thats a vacation Id like to take ! :D
Were they shooting RPGs at that ship all day or something? How many rockets do they have?
All I heard in that video was constant whooshing of rockets and "AYBUBUBBBUBUB AYYYYY BUBUBBBUBUB WHYBYBYBYBYBYBYBYBYBY!"
Looks more like a military attack than pirate.

Probably cost more than anything else they have.
It's an Iranian rocket attack: [url]http://cdiver.ning.com/video/iranian-multiple-rpgrocket[/url]

"Hell, it's about time"
Those are some shitty RPGs, if it takes that much to destroy a ship like that.

[quote]During the Iran-Iraq war the Tanker War damaged 546 commercial vessels and killed about 430 civilian mariners.
Part of the attacks were directed by Iran against Kuwaiti vessels, and on November 1, 1986, Kuwait formally petitioned foreign powers to protect its shipping.
The Soviet Union agreed to charter tankers starting in 1987, and the United States offered to provide protection for tankers flying the U.S. flag on March 7, 1987 (Operation Earnest Will and Operation Prime Chance).Under international law, an attack on such ships would be treated as an attack on the United States, allowing the U.S. Navy to retaliate.
This support would protect neutral ships headed to Iraqi ports, effectively guaranteeing Iraq's revenue stream for the duration of the war.
I remember the Iranians in some cases would have an armed sea mine hung from below a Chopper which would fly in front of a Tanker & drop it just ahead of its bow...
Then the Froggies sold the Iraqis Excocet missiles which they used to attack commercial vessels including a vessel chartered by Oceaneering with a raised Sat system above decks on the MV Smitmasluis to work in an Iranian oilfield.
The Excocet hit the sat system and a young Brit Diver working underneath it was killed whilst others were injured - the Aussie Dive Super caught shrapnel in his balls.
Those were some crazy days. The going rate for a Brit UXO specialist to defuse an unexploded Excocet back then was 75,000 GB Pounds sterling.
A Dutch seaman saw an unexploded RPG on deck by a lifeboat davit after an Iranian attack on his tanker, he went to kick it overboard whereupon it duly exploded killing him on the spot.
An armed & fired RPG has a ball bearing type rocker mechanism which, if the RPG round is tilted Will cause it to go off.[/quote]
They are retarded, shooting RPGs at an oil tanker from so close

Outdated soviet rockets X cargo ship with an insanely thick hull.
Off course it won't do shit, it would hurt the crew when fired against the bridge and that's it.
i wonder if they knew that putting holes in the part of the ship that's above the water won't cause it to sink
