Feisty pensioners from Britain used deck chairs to fight off Somali pirates who tried to hijack their cruise ship on the Indian Ocean, passengers and the vessel’s owners say. They sprang into action when pirates tried to board the MSC Melody off the Seychelles on April 25. According to MSC Cruises spokeswoman Sarah Longbottom: “Mr and Mrs Rowlands were on the deck. Beryl Rowlands threw deck chairs at them.” (Via Saint)
