like a big boat but when you stick 19 pirates and four hostages, it let s crowded, uncomfortable and tempers could flair in there. whether this rpg was a planned event or maybe just somebody acting out. who shot the first two pirates? the investigation on this. and unfortunately the only witnesses we have are the remaining 15 pirates themselves. jon: very quickly, chuck we want to make a point, the navy didn t do anything to provoke this. they were following the ship but they weren t closing in, they didn t open fire on the vessel, they didn t send a boarding crew in until after they heard the shots. absolutely not. and anybody who says this was a botched hostage rescue or something is way off base. they were negotiating all of the fire was initiated on from the quest, and within the quest, and it wasn t until after that happened and the special ops folks boarded that they found the dead hostages.
