Vacationer Thwarts Pirates with Cruise Ship Lounge Chair


62 year old Wyn Rowlands saved the day on the MSC Melody cruise ship as he noticed a speedboat full of armed pirates trying to board the ship. Wyn did the first thing that came to mind. He grabbed a lounge chair from the deck and heaved it at the pirates and then sounded the alarm, which made the captain of the ship able to out manuever the band of pirates. The 1,000 passengers and crew of 500 were about 600 miles off the coast of Somalia. I am sure that we have a plethra of 62 yr olds aboard cruise ships thoughout the world....pirates beware!
