Listen to me, listen to me! I'm the captain now... This week we return to the country of Somalia and explore the daring efforts of the pirates that boarded the Maersk Alabama in 2009. Not only did this event make waves in the future safeguarding of cargo ship personnel, it also inspired the ship's captain to document his ordeal in a memoir hot on the heels of Columbia Pictures' acquisition of the rights to his story. But did Richard Phillips actually take all the necessary precautions? How old were the pirates that seized control? And if you attended a talk on pirates, what would you wear..? Joing us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!
