I just heard a spokesperson on the news mention the
possibility of high-tech pirates taking advantage of the situation should the
rescue efforts come to an end. ""We have read enough Tom Clancy to
realize it is a real possibility", or words to that effect. Hmmm,
interesting. I wonder how much some of this hardware would fetch on the
black-market? I can see it now,
"pssst, hey buddy, interested in a
couple small nuclear reactors?"
On second thought it would
probably just crush them. but the rest of the crew might
survive.
