Didn't we all just know that eventually we'd read something like this? An American crew of the hijacked Danish owned, but American flagged vessel re-took the ship from the Somali pirates/hijackers.

I guess enough people really do want to be John Maclean. Or maybe it's just American spirit at work. Either way, Way to go guys.

UPDATE: The Captain is still being held captive by the pirates on the small pirate craft. Apparently he offered himself as a hostage in exchange for the ship's crew being allowed to go free.

UPDATE: Navy Seals dramatic rescue of hostage captain.
