How is it possible that knowing the incidents of piracy attack around the Gulf of Aden that a supertanker carrying US $100,000,000 worth of crude oil will not be escorted by a responsible Navy force? That is like carrying 100 million dollars on transparent plastic bags around a very bad known neighborhood and then saying: “the money got stolen, but we are ok”. Thank goodness that none of the crew members got hurt in order to make the story more real. If this is true then say the whole story.
