This was an incredible episode. Kaj, you're a serious effing badass.

When I went on Semester at Sea in 2004, everyone was afraid that our cruise ship filled with 650 students was going to be hit by pirates when we were in South East Asian waters. Lucky, we didn't encounter any problems. It's so great to learn more about piracy, what kind of ships are attacked, and the economic conditions that foster this illegal activity. Great piece Kaj and Josh!

How would it be to have a new career, a bounty hunter of the sea pirates. There`s got to be money in it.

This was awesome. Incredible journalism.

What a great story! I've read about this in a great piece by National Graphic last year, but it was great seeing you travel to the same locations because I could get a sense for how it feels to be out there completely vulnerable. Thank heavens for Johnny Batam!

Great job guys. Really enjoyed this. Nicely lensed Josh.

Amazing story, I found the community of pirates fascinating. As expected, it sure isn't the life so glamorously portrayed in Disney. Amazing stories, such as this, have sparked my interest and curiosity to explore the world and find out for myself what is really going on.
-
wow to actually think that piracy in open waters is still active is insane. great work Kaj and Josh. the pirates in the movie Disney created are way different then now, although you have to take in the fact that times then and now are way different...

"It cannot stop. 100%. It cannot stop."
The endless tension and anxiety shown pushes the message, "poverty breeds piracy", through loud and clear.
Excellent hard work from all involved.
A special tip of the cap for the spellbinding score.
Playing this mega-pod through a surround system was well worth it.
Thank you. -
Who would have known? This is great journalism on this subject, so perfect. I actually had a big talk about this in my AP World class, especially in the areas of indonesia.

This is an excellent piece. I was nervous the whole time for the guys, even Johnny Batam looked pretty nervous there for a while. Its great to get an inside look at the pirate culture, and see that they are overall just working people trying to make a living.
-
Excellent Insight Into a curious phenomenon ...now I understand the how and the why of it.
