Nice sentiment considering the incident is under investigation and none of us know what really happened yet.

Wow, if the '11 map comes from the same data sourch as the '12 map, there appears to have been a dramatic decrease in pirate attacks in single year. I wonder what factors made that difference?

The fact that one year had twelve months and the other hasn't even had twelve weeks yet?

I'm just really glad there was no baloons on the US west coast all the way to Alaskia I guess it's too cold in these northern waters for ocean going thiefs and killers aka pirates
