That's not 10 tons of coke. Is that the official number they're publishing?
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has released footage from Tuesday showing the interdiction of a cartel narco-trafficking vessel carrying 20,000 pounds of cocaine in the Eastern Pacific. The operation was conducted by an MH-65E Dolphin helicopter from the U.S. Coast Guard’s Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (HITRON), deployed with the Legend-class cutter USCGC Munro (WMSL-755).
In the video, a sniper aboard the MH-65E uses a Barrett M82 .50 BMG anti-materiel rifle to disable the fast boat’s engine, allowing a Coast Guard Special Purpose Craft launched from the Munro to board and seize the vessel as part of Operation Pacific Viper.

"A single mission" so maybe not this one boat. But they could be full of shit, also, because government.
20k lbs of water is about the volume of 5 American pickup truck beds.
Maybe that boat has enough draft for that.
Unless coke is way more dense than water that is not 5 truck beds full of coke.
There’s only one way to find out.
A dump truck of sand weighs about 10 tons, also. I have spent a lot of time with a dump truck load of sand, and that would definitely not fit in that boat. Although I am giggling at the thought of shoveling blow into a wheelbarrow and carrying it around.

Really confusing term blow hole.
Agreed
Remember that story about that woman who was trying to train a dolphin and lived with it in this amphibious enclosure and the dolphin would get horny and distracted from its lessons so she’d jack him off to get him back on task and that part of the story so overwhelmed the narrative around the study they cancelled it.
wtf
She was a dedicated scientist.
😅
Yooo wtf lol

The ⭕️ is the only legit investigative body.
Cocaine is at least half the weight of sand
But it’s very hydrophilic so it could absorb a lot of water and keep its volume.
AKs are $30 USD in some countries in Africa last I checked.
Here is a nice documentary about the gun running business.
I prefer to pay by the kg
