Nice.
Just wondering, what was actually going on, and what was the purpose of the raid? I couldn't understand a thing they were saying.

They saved them, end.
From Wikipedia; [quote]On 5 April 2010, Tromp rescued the container ship MV Taipan by rappelling 6 Marines from its Lynx helicopter under covering fire from the helicopter and Tromp to the deck of the Taipan and capturing 10 pirates. The 13 crew (2 German, 3 Russian, 8 Sri Lankan) were unharmed having taken refuge in a secure location after stopping the ship's engines.[/quote]

That's a pretty cool video.
It actually looks a LOT more like SWAT 4 than Modern Warfare. All that yelling, angry hand gestures, pointing of weapons and surrendering. Also clearing rooms in close quarters.

The guy with the camera was actually lucky as fuck to not have been shot or something when he passed the broken window. I mean, that's where most of the pirates were hiding, and he walked right past it.
This was actually very cool. Are there any other videos like it anywhere?
