Honduran cooking

Honduras is a loooooooong way from the US coast. Waste of money.

I wonder why it sank.

Semi-submersible vessels typically are built in Colombian jungles and are less than 100 feet in length, according to the Coast Guard. They carry up to 10 metric tons of drugs for distances up to 5,000 miles and are designed to sink rapidly to make it difficult for law enforcement to recover the cargo.

The story never specified they did it intentionally.

Hell they could have been coming to the surface due to some issues.

They were already on the surface. It's a semi-submersible, not a full submersible. They sink them on purpose. It's only been said about 17 times in this thread

I know it has been said several times. My argument is we don't know what the condition of the vessel was before the authorities intercepted it. It could have been dead in the water, or already sinking due to something else.


I don't know why I pointed it out. It is a moot point really.

Considering these things are made out in the jungle by amateurs, I think this shit is pretty bad-ass.

The fully submersible one discovered a while back was really cool.

there's a really good documentary on drug subs in columbia...i think it's on discovery, but i can't remember where i ran across it. they follow some us dea agents in columbia as they look for drug subs and semi-subs. they actually were able to find one, on the show, and they go through some misc details on how they're made. if i remember correctly, they had some blue prints from some russian subs. most involved the crew being in very harsh conditions, but i think they pay the captain (or whatever you call the lead guy) around 250k, if they succeed in making the trip.

btw, it showed how they have a valve that they pull to fill the ship with water, if they're caught. the ship just sinks to the ocean floor.

they are made in the jungle, but there's a lot of engineering involved. they don't just throw something out there to see if it will work. from the show i watched, they apparently hire russian engineers to design them. they're pretty amazing, for what they are. those drug cartels have plenty of money to fund them, though.

I saw the same documentary.

It was interesting seeing how they dealt with the informants they used. Always making sure their faces were covered for the cameras and how important they are to the whole operation.

I was very surprised the agents didn't have their faces blurred out. I would be uncomfortable knowing the enemy knows my name and face.

i was thinking the same thing...maybe they think that the drug cartels aren't watching documentaries! lol

i looked it up, and it was apparently made by national geographic...called, "cocaine sub hunt".

Anyone know why it sank?

Agreed. I find it more than a bit comical that even these broke fuckers in third world countries are three steps ahead of the DEA and the miserable failure we call the war on drugs.

It sank because they are designed to sink rapidly to make it difficult for law enforcement to recover the cargo.
