  Somali pirates WERE fishermen before being pirates... They turned to piracy to combat other countries fishing their waters.

    That’s a great story, with very little attachment to reality.

    And then they turn to piracy for its own sake because they realized how lucrative it was

    No, the pirates are organized crime syndicates. They are not the same people who were fishing the waters 35 years ago

    Unless someone is a structural engineer or something, I never want to hear the term "load-bearing" again.
