For the fourth morning, I woke up at 5 in the morning crying and sobbing like a little baby and I just let it flow for 45 minutes and it ended on its own. And he asked me what I did when I woke up crying, and I told him what I am telling all of you, and he said well that is one mechanism to release these chemicals and hormones, crying and talking about it, so he told me the next time it happened to let it run its natural course. And he said basically it was the hormones and chemicals put out by your body during a fight or flight situation. And then he asked me if I cried a lot, and I said no but I was waking up at 5 in the morning crying like a little baby. And then he asked me if I was eating and I said I was not eating much but because it was hot that was normal for me. And then he asked me if I was sleeping and I said I slept like a baby. And he got a sense of me on the phone talking to him and he asked me if I was sad the pirates died, and I said no doc, no stockholm syndrome here, and then I said put us all back in the boat and we'll see who walks out. Given the depiction of Phillips in Greengrass film, its no surprise Hanks was such a good fit for the role: A selfless captain who puts his own life on the. The true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be. So I said "if you leave me alone, I will call him" so I called the SEAL psychologist. After some missions, they have to talk to psychologists. And I would mentally slap myself in the head and say "What's your problem? You made it, you're lucky."Īnd there was this one SEAL who somehow sensed something in me and basically was harassing me, and he explained "Rich, it doesn't always turn out like this." They are not always successful.

2 days after in the movie it shows me crying in the hospital, and the incident actually occurred the 2nd and 3rd night, I would wake up in the night and I had a digital clock so I knew exactly what time it was, and I would be crying, racking and sobbing. I have really had no nightmares or dreams from the incident.
These were the true heroes of this story and I want to thank reddit and sign off. They are a great bunch of men and women and we are lucky to have them working for us and ensuring our safety. And lastly, a chance to thank the US Military and United States Navy SEALS in particular. MacArthur had said that US Merchant marines were the lifeblood during World War II, and this is a group that needs recognition that is sorely due them as they get older and older and up in age. Many lost their lives supplying the Military in WWII. I just want to say thanks for the questions, and I want to remind people of another group of Merchant Marines, the WWII Merchant Marine Vets that still get no recognition but what they did during WWII that not a lot of people realize is that the rate of death was second only to the frontline U.S. I've been sailing for 34 years and through my career I've dealt with many different things, including Somali Pirates (which you may have heard of, thanks to the recent movie). Hi, I'm Rich Phillips, I'm a US Merchant Marine and Captain.
