Pirates along the Indian ocean have captured a 5 people from Denmark who were on a sailboat. The 5 of them were a family sailing across the ocean when they were stopped by a pirate ship in the ocean. The pirates hijacked their ship. Usually the pirates won't take children, but this time they have. They just have the children as hostages to try to get money from the family or country. The country is going to try to save them after seeing their distress signals. This is the second hijack in the past week. Last Monday they hijacked a Greek cargo ship with 23 crew members on board.
Every time I hear about this it just sounds like its a make belief story that your being told when your a kid. I can't imagine pirates starting to steal things again but they are. These attacks started 6 years ago, and we still aren't able to stop them. I think it maybe because we're still surprised about what's happening. Even though it has happened multiple times people must still think that there is no way that they could get hijacked by pirates. These attacks will get worse if we don't do something and someone's going to have to stop it, but it just so awkward to be having problems with pirates again.http://www.thestar.com/news/world/pirates/article/946095--pirates-hijack-danish-family-s-sailboat?bn=1
