What about someone from 13 hours? Or is that too classified still? 😬

How about one of the guys from 13 Hours?

Read my mind 😂

It'd be interesting if you brought in Marcus Luttrell

@@arcturus4317 That would be very sad and depressing. Why would you want him to relive something like that. There's no humor in any of that

It just means the man isn’t a boring traveler 😂

Whenever he’s captain something goes wrong

😂

World's sh##iest luck?!?

Never travel with tom hanks/matt damon.

Hit 'em with the one liners

One of my favorite parts is right after that when he tries to stand up and the guards immediately re-seat him.

Exactly how officers in the Navy talk too😂

"what are you looking at man" "I'm seeing what they see"

Not one but two Medal of Honors.....

2 MOH's, 2 DSC's, 7 Silver Stars, 18 BS w/V, and 27 purple hearts. One of the craziest fights in all of OEF.

​@@MeerkatADV All well earned

yeah, liked that one, couple of guys from my country Latvia were there as well.

Those are actual navy medics and they told her to treat him like an actual patient, so that is very accurate to real life!

@@Pman353 I read an article that the corpsmen actually needed a few takes because they were all innitially a little star-struck being around Tom Hanks. But they got past it quickly and went right into "work mode" and as you said, treated him as they would any other patient and that's why the final scene looked so genuine.

@@VeryDeathlyShiny thats really funny!

Those were the actual medics that took care of Captain Phillips

You can see that the 'medical officer' who receives Phillips has chiefs anchors. Given that the ship they are on is a destroyer, that is an Hospital Corpsman Chief Petty Officer, an Independent Duty Corpsman. Who is essentially a Naval P.A.

not just this one. shipping companies were helicoptering bigass pallets of cash to the pirates to pay ransoms, and at that point it became cost efficient to station armed security on the ships.

I always assumed it was due to some international maritime law that merchant ships couldn't be armed. I had no idea it was just classic rich companies being cheap and risking the lives of their employees.

@@tsdobbi Actually it was a combination of both, so you aren't wrong. Maritime law, and the varying laws of different countries when it comes to weapons especially firearms entering and leaving countries. It's still a big problem for yachts. There are certain areas that have little floating stations where you can pick up and drop of weapons and armed security so they don't enter a countries waters. I actually saw a video on it years ago here on KZfaq.

@@tsdobbi International law has a lot more to do with it than companies being cheap. There's a reason that Chinese Fishing Boats are always problematic, because they'll enter a certain nation's limit of national waters, and when found, will flee to international waters where its, essentially, lawless ocean. If I remember correctly, a week or so ago, a South American country destroyed a Chinese Fishing Boat. Sent a blatant message to those slant eye fucks that they will not tolerate breach of national waters by poach fishers...

What is the actors name?

​@@weesa7163 barkhad abdi. Sad fact. This high budget film only payed him 65k while tom hanks received 15 million

​@@kc_h7hwell they found him at the mall and despite being a great actor he had very little experience and his name didn't bring anything to the movie.

I think you may have it backwards, those are the real pirates and the medical crew was improvised…

​@@MrCrumpets368both wrong. Those were not real Somali pirates (duh) and the nurse at the end treating Philips was not the original one, but was a real active duty nurse on the ship and was told to treat Tom Hanks like a real patient

Fucking love Down Periscope. Watch it every couple months.

Man has us laughing non stop that’s for sure lol😂

Hey ... I saw a little Volleyball named "Wilson" right beside the rib on the inflatable.. What are the odds?

@@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany Also Underwater guns are a thing the Russians made some cool ones look up APS Underwater gun

The guys fucking annoying 😂😂

The version they used for the movie is in Las Vegas at a car museum with the Batmobile.

@@latsnojokelee6434 Would you rather see the real deal with bullet holes in the coolest museum around, or the one used in the movies? :)

That sounds awesome. I'll try to visit one day. Similarly, Dayton, Ohio has the airforce museum and it's phenomenal.

Another factor is psychology. Blue lights make the brain a little more analytical and logical in stressful situations, while red lights make the brain a bit more emotionally reactive.

@@jamesburleson1916 That is also a result of using a blue or red light.

Great idea!!!

show or movie?

@@hardwirecars definitely the show. Thanks for asking.

theres still a few restricted ports that do not allow ANY weapons on vessles. but to my knowledge the ships that go through this route, often give their weapons to another vessle before mooring out in international waters.

@@justnsaliga8518 I've heard that there are companies in Egypt who hire out guards to ships that leave through the med

@Justn Saliga G4S, the largest military contractor on earth, has about a dozen floating armories across the earth parked in international waters in the indian and pacific oceans for this exact purpose. Guards from G4S who get contracted onto the ship spend most of the journey memorizing the ship, and familiarizing themselves with emergency duties and protocols. Then, when they get to a region like the horn of africa, the ship will detour slightly and meet up with a small boat not much bigger than a yacht, and weapons will be delivered to the guards, then once in the med, another boat from a seperate armory picks up the guns and heads back. G4S likes to set up a revolving door of guns going back and forth between pairs of armories so that as few specialized trips as possible have to be made and the same set of guns just gets cycled back and forth.

That was my question upon watching this movie. The initial boarding by the pirates might have gone very differently had the crew had the means to defend themselves. Maybe worse... I can see both sides.

I rather imagine they trained for it. Besides, I'm sure they were on hair triggers in that moment.

They did the best that they could have. And that's all I ask. And I always say thank you. You never know when something comes up, where Navy Seals and other special forces out there will come to your aid. And so I say thank you

Goddam it...we need MORE cuts, MORE angles and more Heavy metal music with flashing lights

“I heard you like cuts, so we put cuts in your cuts while watching cuts” - Xzibit

Which one? Maine? Mass? Great Lakes?

That's why he got lawsuits from families, the whole incident could have been avoided but he got complacent.

It probably comes from the fact that taking someone's life is not something that comes easy for most people, and also most people realize that many pirates are pirates out of desperation.

@@genericereal I'm not a stone cold killer at all, nor do I like violence but every time I got shot at I've returned fire automatically, doing my best to neutralize the enemy. Obviously they have friends and family, and normally I would not want to kill them, but in the moment you don't think about stuff like that.

@@ivansyomkin2156 Assuming you were military, that's because that is the point of your training--to produce an automatic response to fire back without thought. However, we know that that is not what most people do because the US Army conducted a study after WWII to see what percentage of their soldiers shot back even in the general direction of the enemy--it was 15-20%.

THANK YOU

@@genericereal I'm sure that's comforting to the families of those they've abducted and/or murdered. You take up evil as a trade you deserve the just outcome.

The 13th MEU is the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit.

It was Dev group, red squadron. Rob O’Neil talks about this mission on the Shawn Ryan podcast. The said the sniper sequence is totally made up the way it plays out.

I think it was more of a subtle clue to the Captain that the big boys were on scene. Could have said "the guys from Coronado are here" as well and the vast majority of people would not pick up on that, especially in that situation

That's some praise. We've done so many.

Haha that’s a good one and we will definitely keep the suggestion in mind for the next one. We are sure glad we could help with the in between meeting blues!

@@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany I could even see BRCC video and reenactment of this scene for a future coffee ! "Fill your hand you SOB" could even be a name for new blend or " True Grit " Image of of an actual Rooster riding a horse with reins in its beak two cups of coffee in the wings ! haha Thanks y'all Keep cranking out the coffee y'all!

Absolutely, get an SASR or SAS guy on there

Just be careful not to overdo it or you'll wakeup with a black eyepatch and an ak-47.

@@GeraldMMonroe Yeah. I had a buddy who that happened to. He ended up getting shot by Navy Seals after trying hold a ship captain for ransom.

To be fair, at that time, there were very few safe paths and were much longer. So, taking the recommended route(s) was much slower and more difficult.

@@MichaelGalt To be fair I’d argue that by disregarding the approved routes, he ended up costing the company a lot more time and money which he hoped to save by going rogue. Not to mention the harm’s way he put himself in, and that of his crew and the seals.

@@pridenprejudice2004 To be fair, even on the approved routes they were facing piracy issues. So it wasnt exactly safe any way. He did what he thought was right and bad men took advantage. The bad men are at fault.

This is true. Phillips was an idiot. Hollywood portrayed him as this hero in the industry.

@@seasickcaptain5249 Well because of phillips big changes were made that was good. And I think we need to hold pirates and criminals accountable, they are the bad ones.

@@Benji-jj2bg Let's also not be under the impression that if they didn't get ambushed and instead made it to their destination quicker and used less fuel, he'd have been commended for saving money. The only reason they really even care about this happening is because it cost them money.
