April 12, 2009: In this photo released by the U.S. Navy, Maersk-Alabama Capt. Richard Phillips, right, shakes hands with Lt. Cmdr. David Fowler, executive officer of USS Bainbridge after being rescued by U.S Naval Forces off the coast of Somalia.
This Easter we were all grateful to find out that the Maersk Sea Capt, Richard Phillips, was safe and sound in the hands of the USS Bainbridge. Navy "snipers", as they were first referred to as, shot and killed three of the pirates and saved Capt Phillips. Later the "snipers" were identified as SEALS... Obviously!!! The fourth "pilot", as MSNBC referred to them as yesterday, is in US custody at this time.
Our hearts and prayers are with Capt. Phillips and his family. Good to see a happy ending out of an all too scary story.
