Seven stowaways are too much for the police. Do the police regularly practice jumping out of helicopters onto the deck of ships at night to arrest possibly armed criminals? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they need to jump out of helicopters? Why must this be done at night? What evidence is there that the stowaways are armed?

MONKMAN Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Why do they need to jump out of helicopters? Why must this be done at night? What evidence is there that the stowaways are armed? You’ve really no thought this through have you. As someone mention it’s pretty much what the SBS are trained to do, so why wouldn’t they send them if the option was available? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the helicopter came from the SAS headquarters, I'd love to know how that phone call went.

An oil tanker out of control in the busiest shipping lane in the world, the crew locked in a room after issuing a mayday saying violent stowaways had taken over the ship and you're wondering why plod didn't row out and say "ello ello ello"? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Good of the SBS to step in considering they’re probably quite busy intercepting brown women and kids on dinghys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac.i Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 They don’t need to jump from helicopters at night.Especially in that area, SBS probably spent more time deciding if they needed to use boats or were just gonna have a short swim.....Sky news presenter apparently asked an "expert" if the SBS would be well prepared for something like this given it doesn't happen very often [emoji1751] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last week I’ve been accused of masterbating on Zoom calls and now hijacking a cargo ship.

Have any P&B ers had their vessel hijacked Have any P&B hijacked a ship? When I was about 8 I was first in the queue for rowing boats at Springburn Park and a big boy cut in front. Does that count? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
